I just happen to have my original cruise documents from my very first major cruise in 1995. When I compare what I paid 21 years ago against the same cruise on the same ship in the same cabin today the price has gone up 24%. Notionally, at least using one of on line calculators, the price should be 42% higher. Lots has changed over those 21 years from technology to market saturation to staff reductions that have helped contain the fare growth rate.
