Are there any great deals to be had?

[jpgolds]

We are looking to book a 7 day cruise but really need to find a great deal so we can do it. We have cruised on DCL twice before and got unbelievable rates both times. Is anybody booked at a great rate? We are open to any time of year.

and just like last year, they offered us the best deal by far of anyone else out there. I called DU, Amex and even a couple of the web based sites mentioned on the boards. One of them, which is touted as matching any price out there, actually called me back after I told him my quote and said his manager's response was "please tell her to have a wonderful cruise." They simply could not match Costco's price without ending up owing DCL money.

If you are a Costco member, I would suggest you give them a call. For a time they weren't booking DCL, but are doing so again.

Good luck.

How to get a price quote for a Disney Cruise with Cosco? Do you have to be a member to get a quote?

[Wonderwoman1982]

Well, to book with them, I assume there is some way they verify your membership, but if you can get a great quote from them it's WELL worth the $45 a year membership fee. (Plus. it's a great place to shop..:) so it's a win win situation ) Anyways, to answer your question about being amember in order to get a QUOTE, it depends. When I made my reservaions, I didn't need to give them my membership number. But another time I called to get a quote for my sister, a different lady asked my for my number. SO, I"d suggest you call and at least TRY to get a quote, and if you can get one without giving them your membership number, and you like your quote, go get a membership and call back and book your cruise. I booked with them like on April 2nd or 3rd, and got a great rate... I also used them last year and was very happy with my service. That's why we booked again with them.
