Post CRUISE LINE Single Supplement/Solo Bargains HERE

[perditax]

Those 150% supplement prices don't seem to have gone live on X yet.

[LMaxwell]

Just wondering what does everyone consider a bargain as far as price per day goes? Sometimes I find good deals, or what seem like good deals, even at 200% single supplement, but they aren't cruises that come up when searching for single deals bc there's no reduction.

 

$75 per day to get on the ship a good start for a solo?

[Virtopia]

It depends on what type of room and destination for me. The last cruise I went on (7 night southern Caribbean) I got a balcony for $1,300. My first southern Caribbean Cruise on the Jewel, I got an inside for $800. I consider both to be good solo deals. I usually hover around a per day price of $100.

Studios on Getaway 12/13/15 down to $799 (from a high of nearly $1200 before fees taxes just a few weeks ago).

Hmm, I don't know, but they are definitely advertised on the Tuesday Sale flyer:

Yep, I've poked around a bit on the 12/13/15 sailing, and I've been pricing this one regularly since I'm on it, and prices haven't changed. For example, that flyer shows $549 for XC, which I guess is a concierge guarantee? But Celebrity's site doesn't offer you a guarantee concierge, and for one adult the lowest concierge class is still in excess of $1500 before taxes fees. The other prices are unchanged as well.

 

Maybe it's something where you have to call, or maybe they already all sold out.

Agree, $100 is actually pretty good and getting harder to find except in certain cases like long TA's with lots of sea days.

If those are £ prices and the TA I think it is with a £50booking fee, cheaper direct with Cunard £499 solo £599.

Holy cow!! Never posted before for a cruise that I'm not on but I came upon this rate:

NCL Mexican riviera

Nov 29, 2015

Inside solo, including taxes and free drink package for $795.

Edited October 22, 2015 by denatravels

[IrieBajan54]

NCL Jade to the Western Caribbean out of Houston.

 

Either January 2nd or 9th, 2016

 

Solo Inside Guarantee $793 including ALL fees.... plus $25 SBC and a CHOICE item.

[SandraDJ]

I was browsing last night, and noticed that the 7 night round trip out of Dubai on Splendour of the Seas on 4 January 2016 had dropped to £970. That price includes flights from London.

 

It's probably only of interest to people in Europe, for some winter sun. It's not my favourite itinerary.

[DaytonCruiser]

Royal Rhapsody 13 night transatlantic, Malaga to Miami

November 19,2016

Inside $899.74 total with taxes and fees

 

Large ocean view $1,127.74 total with taxes and fees

 

D2 balcony $1698.74( can be lower depending on your C&A discount) total with fees

I also look less at the single supplement percentage, and more at the per-day rate, taking into account flights.

 

I might have gotten spoiled, though, with my last cruise, $420 plus taxes and fees ($112) and tips for a nine-night Casablanca/Canary Island cruise out of Barcelona on Norwegian Spirit, in late November 2013. Yes, that's about $47 per night plus taxes and tips. I booked a few weeks before departure date, and paid about the same for the flights from/to the Middle East as I did for the cruise.

 

I usually want what most people don't want, so, for cruises, I look at the relatively less-expensive options to begin with, such as shoulder seasons and transatlantic/repositioning itineraries.

 

Happy Hunting!

Rhapsody TA is $25 a night dbl occupancy, so that's just $50 solo

I wish! It's actually 399 + port charges and taxes so it ends up being about 83 - 85 dollars per day solo. When you add the price of the one way ticket to Spain it becomes a pretty expensive trip.

Seems like everyone quotes pre tax.

399 / 16 = 25.

25 x 2 = 50.

Has anyone ever asked how the single supplement points are calculated? I currently have a studio cabin booked on an upcoming sailing and from reading through CC, I learned that I'd only get single points. When I called into Royal Caribbean, the agent told me the points are only doubled if you paid between 150% and 200%. Can anyone confirm if this has happened to them? I didn't want to say she was wrong but I don't see what difference it makes - if I'm travelling solo in a regular cabin, I should get double the points.

On a recent Royal Caribbean sailing I paid for a studio guarantee and was placed in a normal, three person, interior cabin. I did not get double points. I saved a whole lot of money though.

When I've booked an interior cabin, I've gotten double points.

Could be because your original booking was a solo cabin with no supplement. I think any cabin designed for 2+ people and booked as a solo gets dbl points. The percentage of surcharge doesn't matter

This is from the C&A benefits page

 

One Cruise Point for each completed night of sailing and an extra Cruise Point per night when you purchase and sail in suite accommodations (categories RL, RS, PS, SL, TS, A1, A2, A3, CL, OS, FS, GS, JS) and/or sail in any category and pay a single pricing type for double occupancy staterooms. All other rates including Travel Agent rates, as well category SI and SB, are excluded from single price type extra point promotion. Cruisetours are included as an additional night per each day on the cruise tour. Points will be awarded by rate paid not rate berthed, for example, in the instance of an upgrade from an outside to a suite category.

NCL Gem out of NYC, 10 day cruise Nov. 23rd, 2015, no single supplement fee.

 

Guarantee inside $699

Guarantee balcony $999

 

Price not including tax and fees.

Depends on where you live and what you consider expensive. I can easily/cheaply get to NYC then hop on a one way flight for $400. I like the fact that TA rates are low and I can use the savings to visit other European cities before or after the cruise.
