Liberty of the seas on 4th August from Barcelona - 7 nights - we need 2 cabins for 2 adults in each (children, but will be 17 and 15).
Have stayed in inside cabins with P&o before so happy with these unless there was a fantastic price for upgrade.
Cheapest prices we have found at the moment are about £720 each.
Is this good or do we wait until new year for lower prices - some websites seem to suggest this?
Cumbria cruises seems to have best price at moment - i think these may be linked to co-op

Cruises during kids holidays always seem to maintain higher prices. If £720 includes flights then doesn't seem unreasonable. I have done RCI in August , two adults and two teens for about £2600. That was two adjacent inside cabins.
You may be able to negotiate some extras booking this early, e.g on board credits or free parking etc0 -
Check prices for this year and see how they compare.

There is a brilliant website cruise fish. You pay a small amount for each cruise you want to price watch and it emails price changes. It also shows pricing history.
Last August we had an owners suite and a grand suite (2 in each room) on adventure for about £5k with about 1000 usd onboard credit. Booked about a month out. balconies were £699 each at the time I think Including junior suites.
I find it better to book direct with royal c. Much better if you need go chamge something. Check if they still honour price drops but they give highest onboard credit.negotiate really hard.June challenge £100 a day £3161.63 plus £350 vouchers plus £108.37 food/shopping saving
July challenge £50 a day. £ 1682.50/1550
October challenge £100 a day. £385/£31000 -
