I know you're not a fortune teller but I see the 10/29 NY cruise is also *GT. I'm on the 10/15 with lots of availability left. What are the chances of that one also getting discounted? I assume I can upgrade without penalty if it happens since I'm a 10b gty?

You can't "upgrade" from any reservation to a *GT reservation. *GT reservations are "new bookings only".

You can, however "upgrade" your existing reservation for the cost it was on the day the original reservation was made.

Wow that's a bummer. Thanks for the info.

The 10/15 NY cruise has MTO and CAN discounts. Those discounts have been out for a few weeks already. Usually, the *GT rates come out before MTO, but the 10/7 NY cruise *GT rates came out the same day as the MTO ones. This latest 10/29 one came out nearly two weeks after the MTO rates. If they do offer *GT for 10/15, they will probably come out soon.

Although you can't upgrade your existing reservation, if the discount is big enough to cover the penalty, you could cancel, take the penalty, and rebook a *GT rate.

I've been following the cruises out of NYC too. The only dates we could go would be 10/15 or 10/22. What's the latest that *GT rates ever came out before a sailing? It seems like there's still a lot of availability in the veranda category? How much longer can I hold out before booking another, more affordable vacation? It's under the 60 day mark now.

 

[houseofduck]

Some movement on *GT. Maybe, there will be more tomorrow.

Right now and the next few weeks would be the typical time for the discounts to appear for 10/15 and 10/22. Maybe they are waiting to see how well the MTO and CAN discounts sell before releasing them to *GT. The latest I have waited and received a discount was around the 30 day mark. I usually plan a refundable, land vacation for the dates that I am considering. Then, if the discount comes through, great. Otherwise, I still have a land vacation planned.

 

[Lauri]

Thanks! I guess we'll still wait and see if they open up *GT rates, and I can hold off purchasing airfare to another vacation destination for now. We fortunate that we can drive to NYC. Last time we used *GT rates, they opened up at 74 days out, and the long wait was just waiting for our specific stateroom.

Back at it this year again, looking and hoping for a discount end of October beginning of November on the dream for 4 nights...wish us luck!

I apologize in advance I am new to trying to book a VGT. When I look on the website I am not seeing those prices. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

This is the 10/15 Fantasy sailing with 2 adults. The GT listings are found on the left side.

 

[Justacruiser]

Looks like I am back! Thanks everyone for keeping the thread going!

Still working on a new format so, this may change. For the MTO and FLR rates I will list the Best Available room type. If it is a GTY I will specify.

Also, effect immediately I will list the PPP/PD rate after the total cost for 2 adults as previous. However, now I will provide the rate PPP/PD WITH taxes and fees. I used to just use the FARE cost, however we all pay the extra fees so I just decided to included in the PPP/PD cost. Also, I will try to highlight my SLEEPER RATES in BOLD.

I am still working on the program so it might be a couple of days before I am back at 100%. Let me know if you like the new look. Thanks all! More to come! Let's get to 2M hits!

I noticed that there were some Guaranteed Verandah Staterooms with Restrictions on the 10/29/2016 Fantasy Halloween cruise that were pretty cheap. They are listed as 245 sq ft vs deluxe oceanview staterooms which are listed as 246 sq ft. What are these rooms?
