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

Sounds like you have my timing!

Nothing new to report. I haven't seen any price increases on any of the cruises I've been monitoring either. Maybe after the Holidays we'll see some new discounts.

 

[houseofduck]

I was just in the middle of a check when @Ofinn reported... I've seen some rates disappear and reappear (like the "new" 1/23 VGT rate). Here is my update for *GT.

how much faith do y'all have in cruisefish? i used to think if I got a *gt rate i was getting a great last minute deal...which is true if you focus on the last minute bit. but when I compare the rates to opening day pricing on cruisefish I realize it isn't as great a deal after all. the 1/23 vgt for example is only a deal if you end up with cat 5a or higher. which you very well may! and I prefer cruising last minute but I guess I need to stop convincing myself it is such a great bargain after all.

what about the 'sleeper rates'? those seem like better deals when I find them.

Oh and there is at least one 'new' *gt - the Magic 1/29 5 day western caribbean has i/o/v fares available as of this am maybe there are more I haven't had a chance to check!!

Its not always better than opening day, but its better than booking a year or 6 months out. I just cant plan 2 years out nor do I have the patience to wait that long for a cruise.

it is very rare that I see pricing better than opening day. We were actually lucky enough to be on the Magic last years on opening day of Fall 2016 releases, so we got opening day pricing at 10% off.

There are no MTO or DVC discounts showing, but there may be some available. If you are eligible and interested in one of the earlier posted MTO discounts, I would call to check. Not much has changed with FLR either.

I was on the Dream for opening day in may 2014, booked but not one of the new itineraries. Stupid move since the one we booked we ended up dropping to use my parents FLR rate.

I can not plan that far out either, and have zero patience as well!! The farthest I have ever planned ahead is for our 5/23 Alaska cruise. Booked it last July on a last minute cruise I took on the Fantasy just to get the OBB So obviously I am a last minute cruiser!! I guess I was just doubting myself but thanks to you I realize the error of my ways. It HAS been fun planning the Alaska cruise so far in advance but I don't think I could do it for every cruise or for the only cruise I take.

All my GT rates have been better than opening day. I dont mind cruising out of Miami, Galveston or San Juan to get the good rates.There were some great rates in winter/ Spring 2015 when the magic and Fantasy were doing the same routes. I dont know if DCl will repeat that mistake again. Its currently hard to get a good rate on the Fantasy, but if your willing to cruise out of Galveston you can save a lot of money.
