what???
Was something confusing in my post? Sent from my Tricorder using DISBoards
No, lol. I was just shocked. I remember trying to book that and it was so expensive. The VGT rate looks lower than opening day rate for the 7A. This is obviously for locals. Can't imagine airfare right now.
Southwest out of PIT actually isn't too bad right now. I just checked. It's about $315 round trip from the 20th to the 29th -- higher than I usually pay, but not as bad as I would have thought for the holidays, and for booking so close to travel dates. I sure wish a Christmas cruise was in my budget, but sadly it isn't lol.
Maybe DCL is going the way of WDW. Pricing the cruises so high they have to offer discounts. Maybe it's to make us feel like were getting a deal when were actually not. LOL. I got 35% off at the YC and I'm still paying close to 300.00 a night.
I'm glad to see discounts Christmas week. This strengthens my resolve to hold out for VGT rates and not make an OBB.
The VGT rate this Oct would have been about 3300 for 2 adults and 2 kids. If that gives you some idea. Unfortunately we were not able to advantage of it. My VGT rate this January was 4369. If I book onboard for October 18 cat 5d I think it would be somewhere around 4300 minus the 200.00 OBC. I think I might be better off waiting. I have three weeks in the Fall I could cruise Oct 18, 25 and Dec 6. VGT rates were offered all of those dates this year. I would love to book early Sept 2015 Alaska cruise while on board in January, but the new 18 month rule makes that impossible.
Sort of new to "last minute" cruising... my OCD-ADD makes it a challenge Anyone have an opinion on the 3/31/14 4-day Magic sailing? I know its spring break season but not Easter week this year. Was hoping to save a few bucks by waiting. Keeping an eye on rates so far prices only increased once and cf showing 70%. I read that christmas sailings were offered at *VGT this past year, just wondering about spring cruises... Thanks.
Thanks for the reply - I see now. I thought only the entries with amounts next to them were valid *GT rates. Not many March entries but lots of Magic so who knows. Would be interesting to know when the *GT rate was recorded...
This is great! Thanks OP for doing this. I never paid close attention to when *GT rates were offered but I'm looking for March. I hope they release them soon. It seems every category is still available for the sailing I'd like.
This was unheard of back in the day...
