Every price shown is the total cost for the whole room at that number of guests, taxes and port fees included. The first two guests pay the standard fare and the 3rd and 4th guests sail at reduced rates, so the room total goes up while the cost per person goes down. Starting prices for Ocean View and Ocean View Balcony rooms may be an obstructed view — unobstructed rooms are quoted on request. Suite and other premium cabin pricing is quoted on request. Rooms for 5 or more guests need a custom quote, or you can book two rooms. Every stateroom also receives $50 in onboard credit. Prices shown are live rates current as of posting — they are not updated in real time and can change at any time. Where a triple or quad price is not listed, it is quoted at the current cruise line rate when requested.
