    Just released Secret Verandah Room (6634) for Panama and Bermuda

    You'll really like 6634. We've had it on other cruises. It is not the normal Navigator's Verandah. It is for the most part a full balcony, just with a part of the hull. Plus, the Deck 6 rooms are less obstructed than the Deck 7 secret verandah rooms. Glad you were able to get it. Enjoy.

    Just released Secret Verandah Room (6634) for Panama and Bermuda

    In case anyone is looking for a Cat 7A for the 10/19/2018 Panama Canal sailing, we just released (7:50 p.m. CDT) room 6634, which is a secret verandah room. Also, we released 6634 for the 10/19/2018 5-night Bermuda cruise at the same time. Decided to use one of the other cruises we held, so...

    In case anyone is checking, I just released 6634 for this cruise (10/19 5-night Bermuda cruise) as of 7:50 p.m CDT. I see that there was a note that 7A was sold out. This is a Cat 7A secret balcony room.

    ** OPENING DAY PRICING 2018 Pt 2 May/September: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

    Got in the queue right at open with the home phone (said 15+ minutes) but also used my cell phone and got in line 5 minutes later. About 30 minutes after that, the CELL went through before the home phone. CM was surprised at that. He also said there were about 300 calls behind me and said I...

    Sorry for that. I just updated the post. I took the 9B Dream, but then took the 8C and 8A from my Fantasy pricing.

    ** OPENING DAY PRICING 2017 Pt 1 Jan/May: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

    I'd have to check to see what we paid for our 9B this past Easter week on the Fantasy, but I believe it was around $5,200+. Now for for a pricing comparison, you could sail on the NCL Escape (new ship) in a HAVEN COURTYARD room (this is a full suite) the same week for $6,830 using my...

    ** OPENING DAY PRICING 2016 Pt 1 January - April: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

    I was looking at the pricing for the repo and then this cruise and the pricing for the 1/10/16 Southern in a 9C or 9D looked very low. So I checked the summary post to see what prices were there and then looked for the original posting. If you were to move to a 9C for this given scenario, it...

    My apologies, I didn't get the breakdown by person, just the total (didn't want to press the CM too much). All prices are for 2A1K(15). Also, it includes taxes and the 10% OBB, but no transfers and no insurance. Wonder to Alaska 8/17 9B $4,223.61 9A $4,740.21 7A $5,382.81 5B $6,290.01 8/24...

    Deck 2….

    We've stayed on Deck 2 a couple of times, both times mid-ship or slightly behind mid-ship. The nice thing about being down there is if the seas are rough, you don't feel it as much, especially mid-ship. Think of a teeter-totter, the point near the fulcrum doesn't move nearly as much as the two...

    Will I be disappointed with NCL after DCL?

    To the OP, if you want to have some fun, post the same question on the NCL threads over on CC. :scared1: But for a good medium, maybe ask it on the DCL thread over there. :thumbsup2 The venue in which you ask your question will generate much different answers. As for our experience, we...

    How many years did ot take you to reach platinum?

    Took us 7 years almost to the date (within a week). Took our first cruise 1/22-1/29/2005 and the 10th cruise 1/28-2/4/2012. We have friends with the same situation. In our 12 cruises, we have sailed 79 nights. Only had 67 nights when we finished #10. Our friends have 71 nights over 7...

    Is there a way to see which rooms are available?

    You can, and I have done this, go online and when you go to select the room, put in EVERY room number in that category (look at the deck plans to see which rooms are in the category you're looking at). I've done this both when I booked XGT as well as when I was curious how full one of our...

    Best Mexican place to eat at while in Cozumel?

    Agreed, Pancho's is the best. Love the food and atmosphere. Regarding the mariachi band, I remember back I think in 2004, the guy on the xylophone having DS come up to play with him.

    What other ships are as good or close to Disney?

    Great spreadsheet. Thanks for posting. My apologies for my original answer, I was looking at CC and not NCL directly. CC had it listed higher. Regardless, MA rooms would be larger than an inside standard room on DCL, but equal Deluxe. However, DCL deluxe Oceanview and deluxe Balcony are...

    What other ships are as good or close to Disney?

    Correct. Our 8A on the Fantasy was $3,350 w/ our OBB and the SJ is $2,950 w/ Costco booking (take away both booking discounts and it was still about $400 difference). Also, we booked over 9 months out, so NCL gives $300 OBC, plus they were running a separate promotion that gave another $75...

    What other ships are as good or close to Disney?

    NCL mini suites are NOT equal to DCL inside. DCL inside are only 169 sq ft standard and 202 sq ft deluxe. On the Breakaway (same as Getaway), mini-suites are 269 sq ft. Figure 40 ft for the balcony, that is 229 net, which is 27 ft larger than DCL deluxe inside or outside cabins. DCL Family...
