[KarBear]

Hello everyone! Just now found this thread as I just put down a deposit for the august 22 2015 western cruise for the future DH and I honeymoon! I'm excited, and not sure if I will participate in FE just yet due to job and school, but I would love to be apart of the Facebook group! Sent in a request!

Awesome Honeymoon!!! Congrats !! Welcome

WELCOME!! YAY!! More people
We have a DD that will be 12 at sailing! I thought it would be a great age bc she can go btwn both tween clubs and kids club!

Cheers

Thanks. We typically sail with many families the last cruise, a couple of weeks ago, was 5 families, 17 people. So far we have one other family, but we plan to add a couple more.

This is the cruise I wanted to book, but all the inside staterooms are sold out!! I'm so surprised they are gone considering the cruise is over a year away.

Has anyone been on a cruise during this time before? Is it very busy?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be that much help, but on the Dream class ships there are lot less interior staterooms that in the classic ships. What I have noticed spending a lot of time here on the Dis is a lot of these interior staterooms availability disappear right after opening date and then come back as people cancel or as gty rates. So you should check periodically.

If this time is busy, schools in the Northeast(NY, NJ,) go back after labor day so on this specific week people travel because the cost is lower plus if you are spending time in the park there is less crowds and resort's prices might be lower.

Back in 2012 when the Magic was departing from NY those cruises were packed. I traveled this same week and the cruise was sold out. This cruise is going to be my first from PC this specific week. I know Karin (dizneeat) travels a lot this time of the year so she can give you more input.

Yes, it is usually very busy.

We like booking either the 3rd or 4th week of August because of the lower costs also. As Ntrain mentioned towards the end of August you will see price breaks as more schools are back in session.

We typically sail the end of June or August, we just sailed on the Fantasy over July 4th which was fun, but the same cruise in 2015 was over $2,000 more than this sailing (8/22) for a family of 3.

As much as we like sailing over our anniversary we couldn't justify the extra costs comparing identical sailings and staterooms.

Our 10 year anniversary will actually be in October of next year, so we would like to go then, but my husband is going back to school, so we are limited to July or August. I haven't booked anything yet. Still debating what to do.

I've been having trouble opening the FE exchange list.
Anyone else?

 

[Buddy Bear]

I cannot open it either. A 404 error means that the file, web page, etc., could not be found. Perhaps, in this case, the document was moved or accidentally deleted.

Hello,

[KarBear]

Ok glad it wasn't just me...

Just transferred a reservation we booked last week on the Wonder.

We have never sailed from PC in the summer, so looking forward to having warm water at Castaway Cay. We usually go in March and it is only once has it been warm enough for me to swim.
