Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[Justacruiser]

Thanks, I did book the DVC price for 1/31 on the Wonder!

Hi! I have a question. We have been watching for a VGT for the January 16 Fantasy Eastern for a couple months. We have our flights and hotel booked (all refundable). We really didn't want to pay full price (almost twice as much as we paid 3 years ago!). Do you think there's still a chance they will offer GTY at this point? How late have you seen them offer it? Will we lose this cruise if we don't lock in now at full price? Thanks for your help!

I have been watching the same cruise and I'm thinking it's no bueno at this point. We are trying to decide whether to keep our WDW March break trip or move to this Fantasy cruise. We would choose a different date but we have friends on that specific sailing.

The January 30 is a good deal. Could you switch out your flights and hotels since they are refundable?

 

[Beltique]

We really can't switch.
Also, I checked cruisefish and yesterday it was showing 28% and today its up to 43%. What does that mean?

I have no idea what that means but they switch around the availability constantly. There seem to be no cat 5, 6, or 7 available at all. If we book, we are booking an oceanview.

The prices are one thing but it's really the exchange on the Canadian dollar that's killing us!

The percentage of availability is the percentage of CATEGORIES that have at least one room available. Not the percentage of ROOMS available.

It's possible for a cruise showing a high percentage to have fewer rooms available than a cruise with a lower percentage number.

Looking forward to a few more FLR rates to show up after the first of the year. I got a couple of place holders burning a hole in my pocket.

 

[houseofduck]

There hasn't been much to report for the discounts this past week. A few of the existing discounts have disappeared because of their cruise dates, but I haven't seen anything new. Maybe posting this will make something new appear!!! That's what happened last week.

Can you combine the onboard booking placeholders with FLR or other discount rates?

 

[lanejudy]

Can you combine the onboard booking placeholders with FLR or other discount rates?

No, at least not most. DCL doesn't allow "stacking" of discounts or special offers. FL resident and military rates involve use of a booking code, therefore only 1 code can be used per reservation. *GT rates do not use a discount code, but the terms of the rate include that it must be a "new booking" so an OBB/placeholder doesn't qualify. I'm not sure how DVC offers are handled.

Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks! We weren't planning on stacking discounts but figured we would if we could! lol

Finally after all that time following and looking for a good deal, I have finally been able to book a trip. I used the DVC discount. Thanks justacruiser and houseofduck

It's so funny, I looked at the website true & the 1/23 VGT was gone, I looked today & it's back. That DCL website is so weird.

Wow! The elusive Dream 3-night cruise. Too bad I'm in this cruise the week before for President's Day.
