TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums Afloat Cruise prices are up signifcantly post-pandemic

Price per night appears about double pre-pandemic for run of the mill cruises with no uptick in cruise/food quality. we are noe seeing the effects of all the ships scrapped in 2020 on a snap decision.

With every ship being built these days being probably at least double the size of the ships they retired, I wonder what the overall cruise capacity is now, versus what it was pre-pandemic. I can't imagine it's really that much smaller. Plus the new ships I guess are somewhat cheaper to run. My feeling is that it's probably more related to the overall price of everything being higher now. ..or I could be wrong altogether.

Good point on the bigger boats replacing smaller.
