It amazes me what people spend money on when they have it. For that amount you could charter a nice mini yacht many places around the world. Not a super yacht but a damn good boatThe 1 bedroom concierge price on our Dec 26th cruise is $45K and that's not a mistake. Not even the Roy suite, 'just' the 1 BR.![]()
The price does change based on the number of people and ages. We are in a standard concierge for our april sailing, and with the insurance it's just over $20k for 2 adults and 2 kids, for the 1 bedroom it's a hair over $30k, and the Roy O. is looking at close to $40k. Now, at Christmas it would obviously be more, but if it were just my husband and I we could subtract nearly $5k off the price for all the rooms, if it were just myself and the kids with no husband it's like sailing with my huband without the kids (but it's 3 people instead of 2). You never know how much anyone has paid for any room, we could fit 1 more person in our room and I can say I might not want to pay that much.The 1 bedroom concierge price on our Dec 26th cruise is $45K and that's not a mistake.

Times have been tough. They're trying to make up for the last 18+ months.
Yeah, but it's still ridiculous if it's not a website error

4 people, concierge level, it’s what I expect. There are a lot of perks, extras, that’s what I pay for. I don’t think it’s Easter week, but it is our spring break week so I’m sure it’s some sort of peak cruise time for them.That's insane! Is that Easter week? I know a lot can depend on the ship and itinerary but $30k for the 1 BR?

Well you are in a slow season so it will be cheaper, Feb is a time most people don’t cruise (I know we couldn’t even if we wanted to due to schedules). I see prices starting sometime in March going through summer for concierge being comparable or more, time of year definitely makes a difference. Also, the length of trip matters. A 3 or 4 night is going to be cheaper than our 7 night, and our 7 night would be cheaper than one of the longer trips.We have 4 people going in Feb - 1 BR and it's NOWHERE near 30K.

I’m also not staying in a 1br, we are just in the standard veranda concierge room because I wasn’t paying $30k for that room, I was just saying how much it cost. There is a decent $10k+ jump between rooms, and I couldn’t stomach that for a little square footage. There was less of a jump between that and the BIG rooms, if I was paying that much I’d just pay a few thousand more and go for the big boys.I'm not comparing 3 or 4 nights to a 7. Price per night is still a huge difference. We've also done a Very Merrytime (which are always high) for a lot less than that. I guess they really are trying to make up for lost revenue! As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Enjoy! (As far as Feb - that's a winter break time for many schools in our area - even flights TO FL can be very high then.)
