JazzBassMan Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 These prices look identical to the pricing I'm seeing for my 11/30/24 Icon sailing as well. Probably just Royal throwing it out there to see if they get any overexcited people that want to book everything immediately. I can't imagine these prices will stick anywhere near this. Then again... I think I said the same thing the first time I saw a 2000+ price tag on CocoCay Cabanas. 3800 dollars for the overwater cabana is almost as much as I paid for a 9 night sailing on explorer in a Panoramic Suite. So that's my food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristiZ Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 These prices are also identical to my Dec 2023 Allure holiday sailing. So these may be closer to the "new normal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK6404 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Here is a sample for Icon for 5/11/24... I can't believe the Coco Beach Club cabanas on the beach are $3,499! For $300, I guess you would go for the overwater! $1,499 for all other cabanas on Coco Cay including Thrill Waterpark, Chill Island, South Beach and Oasis Lagoon!

I don't think the Cruise Planner is open for any other 2024 cruises, so I agree that this is Royal having to put placeholders in with the option of coming down in price if enough people don't bite.

MattG Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 For comparison, here's Anthem's CocoCay page for 10/29/2022 sailing (3 days from now) - all the SOLD OUT cabanas really justify the price hike we're seeing going forward.

CanHardlyWait Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 These prices are right in line (almost identical) to my 2023 Wonder sailing. And many of those features are sold out already. Nothing out of the ordinary. This is the new normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnye97 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 The prices are also similar to my Freedom sailing in December. $3499 for over the water cabana! The Thrill Waterpark cabanas were $1299 as well. Totally crazy prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letscruise Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Personally, I would snag the $83.99 Deluxe Beverage Package now if that is even a maybe for you. That is the best price I've seen for our Wonder 2023 cruise (and the price I locked in). Seems like that is a package that could easily go up over time and be considered a real deal today.
