Does anyone know where I could find....

... a list of the rates for the cruises by date? I found a list of rates on the Disney Cruise Line page, but it's just by room category, and gives a range. I'm looking for a schedule of cruises and what the rates would be by the time of year or date of cruise. Does something like this exist??

Fishbone, go back to the disney cruise line site>reservations>make a reservation or get a quote and you will be walked step by step through the costs, specific to the type of cruise you want (7, 3, 4, L&S), each category except 1, 2, & 3, and specific to the date of your sailing preferences. You'll have to work a little to make comparisons between dates and choices for categories, but it's very accurate, and you don't have to finish any booking unless you want to.

You might be able to get a bit of a discount if you have a code (rare for DCL, I understand) or if you book through DU, but overall it will give you excellent planning numbers.

Thank you both soooooo much!!! :)

Fishbone -

I manually compiled my own list of the prices for a 7 day cruise using the DCL online quote system over a period of about 2 weeks. Yep, it was a long and tedious job, but I was curious about it and I worked away it for about 20 minutes per evening. I started working on it in early September of 2001. The prices may be different now, but the price trends would still hold true.

I made my list for a category 6 cabin for 2 adults for the calendar year of 2002 and I put it into an Excel 97 spreadsheet.

If you have Excel ver 97 or above and would like a copy of it, I can email it to you (or anyone else that's interested), just let me know. I'll be out of town on 2/7 and 2/8, but after that would be fine.

I can tell you from memory that under normal pricing, the lowest prices are the first 5 weeks of the year (excluding Jan 1), and then the weeks in September, October, and November. Any week with a Holiday throws it off.

Realize too, that prices can change(rise) quickly...I was doing some research for a friend....cat. 11, 2 adults and one 11 for a particular week in November. Last wednesday, that rate was just over $1000....now it is over $1300...just keep aware.........
