Is $271 a good price for a 7 day cruise per a person. 2 people total ?

[crusingrightnow]

So a little over $500 total.

 

It a older boat but still.

[stevethepirate]

Yes

[IntrepidFromDC]

yes

[cynt]

Yes. Set your expectations accordingly.

Details on the $271 price... sounds like a casino offer...

[Haoie]

Are you asking if $38 a night per person is a good price?? I don't think there's a motel anywhere that's that cheap.

[pe4all]

You are kidding, right?  Of course it is a good offer.  Food, entertainment, cabin serviced everyday.  Where can you go for a week nowadays for that price.  Food alone would probably cost that eating at restaurants.  Doesn't matter if it is an "older" ship.  Sometimes older is better!

[jlawrence01]

That looks like a casino offer.  The shame is that you could have gotten the same rate on an 8 or 12 day cruise.

[nydney1]

It’s definitely cheaper than any hotel, but I would ask for more info.

 

What ship

What ports

What type of room

 

At the end of the day you have to decide if it is in your budget.

[CRUZFINDER]

A good price???  It's an unbelievable price!!!  Additional details would be greatly appreciated.  A little voice in my head keeps repeating, "if it sounds too good to be true..."

Especially one that includes all of your meals!

[mjkacmom]

Link?

[pinklucky61]

Even if that price doesn't include port, taxes and gratuities, it's a good price.

My guess would be it's during the height of hurricane season.  It's a great deal as long as you understand the risks.

my thoughts exactly...if not a casino rate... it's hurricane season and an inside guaranteed/TBD room.  A 7 day cruise to nowhere would not be cool to me...so i avoid it... but some people are fine with it. 

[mz-s]

I bet they'd do $270.

[DukeASUGirl]

Room, food, entertainment, and transportation to multiple ports all for $38/day. You can't even find that deal on land. Food alone would run you more than that.

[Mike45LC]

$271.  Plus taxes, port charges.  Plus gratuities.  Plus internet.  Plus beverages.  But a great starting price!

[jlawrence01]

I booked an 8 day Southern Caribbean cruise on Carnival Magic for two people:

 

Cruise fare:           $200

Taxes and fees.     $340

Gratuities              $256

Less OBC:           -$200

 

Total                     $596  or $298 per person

 

No internet or drink packages as we need neither.  

 

That is a casino rate and was a nice add-on to a cruise from the week before on the Regal Princess.

That is what are cruises are usually, most are casino rates, guess we spend alot in there. lol. 

[MogeyMan]

Terrible. Don't do it

[firefly333]

Lol compared to paying full price rates, of course it's a very good rate for 7 days. Like other curious which ship but if they offered me a cruise 271 x 2 I assume, I'm solo, I'd grab it. People post prices and as a solo I never know if they mean that's the real price or per person. 

 

I can remember the olden pre covid days. Cheapest during hurricane I'd see was like 299, usually 399 per person at the top of hurricane season around labor day. I always jumped on it. Now I dont see as big of a difference during hurricane season as before covid. I think people have forgotten how ports can get missed. I personally dontd care if it's just a same ole Caribbean. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[MJSailors]

@cruisingrightnow Sounds like a cheap rate.

Remember,you get what you pay for!

[nydney1]

To me that’s a good deal, but I don’t get casino rates.
