Thread: Max number of cruises booked

It's the B2B thing that can make it appear we have more booked. I think of a B2B as one cruise ... but it is actually counts as two.

Tony,

It is not uncommon for the cruise lines to have us pay 200% for an outside cabin. Princess has been at 200% for a long time. Carnival's old policy was a 25% supplement and HAL's was between 45 & 50% - now they both have adopted the 200% policy, but occasionally they will lower it to fill a ship.

Their philosophy is that two people spend more money than one. The cruise lines forget that many of the solo travelers spend a lot of money in bars and casinos – both high profit areas.

Thank Tom

I've had 2 but have cruised 4 times in 14 months before.

In early 2010 I had 7 cruises booked - 9 weeks worth. It was a VERY good year!

I can't keep track of more than one or afford it!

We have had 6 booked at one time.
