Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[zymurgy1999]

I have finally been punted to the new site. Can someone please explain to me how to add the FLR rate to see what is available, or is this now impossible? I know that I can visit the special rates section and that filter will then be placed at the top of the search page (I did this for MTO), but there is nowhere to click on the FLR page even though we know that there are two rates out there. I am becoming more and more fed up with this cruise line each day. Unless they blow us away with something really spectacular over the next few months I am not certain if we will be sailing with Disney again at this point.

it will be in the same location you saw the MTO, if there are any

Yes, but those of us in the know understand that there is either a lag between the actual release of these discounts and them showing up on this page and sometimes they do not show up at all. This morning I was able to check on the old site and confirm that the October 31 and November 14 Fantasy sailings still had FLR rates, but they did not show up in the discount section. I entered them on the old site into the box where we used to put the FLR or MTO codes.

Does this mean that we are unable to access this "backdoor" way to see offered discounts?

I don't always get the new site, but when I did, it looked like the special offer rates were being pulled directly from the database. On the old site, the special offers page was a separate page from the "Find a Cruise" page where you put in the code. It looked like Disney was manually updating the special offers page and it wasn't always up to date. However, with the new site seemingly pulling directly from the database, I would expect that if you could see it on the "find a cruise" page from the old site, you would be able to see it under special offers on the new site. Maybe the two sites are working off of different databases. With Disney IT, you never know!

UPDATE: I just went to the new site and it looks different from the last time I saw it. It looks like the old page that they manually updated. Last time I looked at the special offer rates on the new site, it showed a listing similar to the listing you get when you go to find a regular cruise (results similar to the results on the find a cruise page).

I would call. We have been able to book a few cruises with interlines rates and there is definitely a lag time between when dcl releases them until they show up on any of the TA sites. Sometimes up to 2 weeks.Im thinking its probably the same for FLR and MTO.

 

[Justacruiser]

I for one do not like the new site at all. I understand the bells and whistle aspect, but I won't be able to access as much information in the future once the make the full conversion.

I only see the new website and for the life of me, I can't figure out where to put in a code.

Hello, thank you for the great work. Any guess for *GT rates for the 12/18/2015 or 12/21/2015 Dream 3-night cruises? DCL has the rates way high around Christmas. Looks like the Dream had some *GT for the 3-night and 4-night in December 2014. Many thanks.

 

[Ofinn]

I don't like the new site either. The old one was so much easier.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

It's my understanding that there isn't a place to put in a code, as on the old site. Unless it's part of the actual booking process, after you've selected a cruise, picked rooms, etc. As part of the "Check Out" process.

The site is probably better for some people, but for those of us that are discount hunters or for those of those that like to predict which cruises will be discounted the site gets a double thumbs down.

Are the rates quoted from 10/5 that are listed, per person in a dbl occ room, or for both people combined total?
We haven't gone for 2 yrs and thinking of another in the next yr or so and I am wondering just how much the price has gone up.

The prices listed are double occupancy. Prices have gone up a lot. You can still find some decent prices on certain cruises during the offseason. Cruises that sail out of Galveston, San Juan or Miami are more apt to have last minute discounted rates. You will also find good rates on repositioning cruises. I rarely see a discount on an Alaska cruise.

 

[4HOLIDAYS]

Again, I just want to be sure I am seeing these correct? I understand that its 2 people in a room(double), but is price per person or price is for both combined?

 

[Justacruiser]

The rate I provide is for 2 adults plus the taxes and fees

I tried to use the site again today. I got the survey before I even started. I just give up every time I try to use the site. Doesn't matter if I'm using my iPad or pc. They should've left the classic site running before forcing us to use the new one. I enjoy visiting this thread, but don't see how you can keep it going now. Thank you for doing this.

 

[houseofduck]

I still get the old site and looked for discounts for November and December. I'm doing this manually, so I don't know if I found everything. I don't think there were any new discounts for MTO and FLR in the Caribbean and Bahamas. But, there were a few new *GTs.

Changed *GT
Dream, 4-Night Bahamian Cruise 11/16/2015 IGT $1532.54 OGT $1612.54 VGT $1692.54
Wonder, 7-Night Bahamian Cruise 11/20/2015 IGT $2833.50 OGT $2,974.00 VGT $3,604.00

New *GT
Dream, 4-Night Bahamian Cruise 11/30/2015 IGT $1252.54 OGT VGT $1412.54
Wonder, 7-Night Bahamian Cruise 12/11/2015 IGT $1,854.00 OGT $1994.00 VGT

This was the post I used as my base.

I saw that November 30th one. That's a pretty good deal. Also a Christmas cruise. I've been looking too when the website lets me. Using my iPad is a pita as it constantly has to reload.

 

[houseofduck]

I didn't see a Christmas cruise. I really didn't go that far into December.

But, I do see a change in FLR and MTO rates.

Change FLR
Fantasy, 7-Night Western Caribbean 11/14/2015 FLR/I $0.00 FLR/O $2538.32 9D FLR/V $2,679.00 5A

Change MTO
Magic, 5-Night Western Caribbean 11/6/2015 MTO/I $0.00 MTO/O $1,545.00 9B MTO/V $0.00

New MTO
Wonder, 7-Night Bahamian Cruise 12/11/2015 MTO/I $1,714.00 11A MTO/O $1,854.00 9C MTO/V $0.00

The Wonder 7 night cruises for the first half of December come up at first with the GT rates but then when I click on either of those cruises, I get this message
"Additional Staterooms Are Not Available
Sorry! We're unable to offer an additional stateroom for this cruise.
Remove this stateroom or change your party."
Weird. I would think if there were no rooms available on those cruises for my party of 4, the prices for each category would not have come up initially (other cruises will say unavailable instead for just certain categories).
