nemrac917 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 So, I've been tentatively planning on Feb 2025 for our next family cruise. I've been keeping an eye on what itineraries are available, which ones sounded interesting, and most importantly, pricing. We're a family of 5, so our options are a bit more limited if we want to stay in one cabin. Well, at work one night last week, I happened across a sailing that looked interesting, with an itinerary that none of us have been on before. I went to check the price of a similar room that we had on our last cruise, and what do I see? A 2BR Grand Suite for *less* than a standard balcony room? What?!? I refreshed the page and checked a few more times, and yup! Same price every time. So I sent a message to my TA and she put a hold on it while I talked to hubby. We decided to go for it. Out of curiosity, I checked the prices tonight. It's now listed at $11k+ for a family of 4!! I still can't believe I snagged it for such an amazing price.

We decided to go for it. If I found that deal, I would jump all over it without any spousal discussion. Major husband points would be achieved when I let her know we moved to a suite for less money. michaelp1446 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind my asking which ship you booked this awesome deal on? I am happy you were able to grab it and not have the price change while deciding!

It looks like they let the famous intern load the prices for those sailings as there was a lot of buzz about it over on CC last week. They've fixed it in the meantime. Let's see if they honour the pricing for those who booked. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 There was a 2025 7-night Navigator cruise briefly at $4200 for a 2 BR GS. It's way higher now. Cactus527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
