Are There Different Classes Of Service?

 Today's cruise ships are "one-class." Everyone onboard can use all of the ship's facilities. The price of a stateroom is based primarily on its size and location. Regardless of the category room you book, you will enjoy the same courteous service, menus, activities and entertainment as everyone else onboard.

Here is a general overview of some cruise line categories and pricing as used by CLIA. This is not a complete list of all cruise lines in North America, but enough to give you an overview.

While these prices are a generalization and do not include airfare, remember all the things the pricing does include: meals, recreation, entertainment and accommodations.

Category Daily Cost per Passenger
Luxury $400 to $1000
Premium $175 to $400
Resort/Contemporary $150 to $350
Value/Traditional $100 to $175
Niche/Specialty $200 to $400
