My family is talking about an Alaskan cruise in the summer of 2014. Are the Alaskan cruises doing well? Does it seem likely that they will continue the Alaskan cruises?
I booked us on the June 24, 2013 cruise when opening day prices came out in January 2012 b/c I knew how important booking opening day prices was with the Fantasy when we did that in October 2010 for our June 2012 cruise. On that one, prices for our sailing and same cabin type practically doubled by the time we set sail....however, Disney offered a cash discount price to DVC members which got them on in a verandah cabin at about 1/2 the cost of our opening day price!!!
Anyways, so with this one, the price has not budged since opening day I thought Alaskan DCL cruises were popular, etc. Since booking it, I had to move it to the last week in July 2013 (better for work and sports schedules, etc), and prices still have not budged.
I am waiting for 2014 to be released to see if people might move their ressies to Alaska if DCL is not going back there then, or what......hoping they stay empty and Disney offers discounts, like KSF, or DVC cash prices!
I can always hope for summer 2015 as I already promised both kids we would be back on the big Mickey boat then
