Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[barbarasc]

I really miss the discount pricing!!! Prices have increased every year for the past several years and we are getting close to the point that Disney will no longer be an option.......this makes me very sad. :'(

I am hoping for a VGT for week of Dec 10 2016.... 7 night western...seems unlikely at current prices....

The Dec. 10th cruise looks more full than the Dec. 3rd one. If they offer any *GT rate, I think it would be a VGT one.

I'm waiting to see if any out of Galveston are going to have some *gt rates. Crossing my fingers and hoping!

There were quite a few last year if my memory serves...maybe try looking back for an idea of what was available! There was even one over Thanksgiving week!

I noticed some new discounts last night.

Just gave up our 7A booked opening week to take advantage of this FLR offer. Now have a 5C GTY for less $$ than the 7A, but now have to wait for room assignment with just 37 days before sailing! Never sailed GTY before in 6 DCL cruises. It appears from prior posters that room assignments usually get posted on the DCL site on Tuesdays or Fridays...so my waiting game begins.

You may not have to wait long! I have sailed GTY 5 of my 8 cruises and had a great experience on each one. Been happy with the assignment and twice have been able to move once at port to get a better location. You should receive a room at least 10 days out but probably sooner. Or should I say hopefully sooner! I only waited that long once. Last summer we got our cabin right away, and I even had a hold one one that showed a cabin number before payment in full was due! That was crazy.

You were more right than you know...got the room assignment in less than 12 hours, LOL! Got assigned room 7110, a 4C. Would rather be on the Starboard side, but other than that, it appears ideal. No recent stateroom reviews (last was in 2012), so I guess we'll find out when we board!

The early November, 4 night ones seem to be selling better than the 7 night ones right now.

Galveston *GT discounts from last year:
Wonder, 7-Night Western Caribbean 11/6/2015 IGT $2,101.00 OGT $2,241.00
Wonder, 7-Night Bahamian Cruise 11/20/2015 IGT $2,834.00 OGT $2,974.00 VGT $3,604.00
Wonder, 7-Night Bahamian Cruise 12/4/2015 IGT $1,924.00 OGT $2,064.00 VGT $2,344.00
Wonder, 7-Night Bahamian Cruise 12/11/2015 IGT $1,854.00 OGT $1994.00 VGT

This was the repo to San Juan, I think.
Wonder, 6-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise 1/4/2016 IGT $1,565.00 OGT $1,685.00 VGT $1,925.00

Thanks! I knew a couple of the December ones had gone on sale. It's just a matter of waiting until it gets close enough.

I was just thinking about the 4 days selling...I wonder if it is because there has never been shorter sailings from Galveston before? Maybe this will induce them to offer more?

I think part of the challenge in Galveston is that there are only 2 terminals. If Disney sails shorter itineraries, they will need more port time in Galveston. There may not be availability.

One other challenge is the distance from ports. A 4 day cruise from Galveston could really only have 1 stop at Cozumel, or maybe Grand Cayman.

and no Castaway Cay! The 4 days don't go, and neither do the 7 day Western Caribbean itineraries! so yeah, I hadn't thought about the limited ports available for a shorter trip.

So, I went ahead and booked on that VGT! I'm so excited. I wanted to take the sure thing instead of continuing to wait and hope for a verandah MTO. I think the price is fantastic on the VGT and now I don't need to worry. Thanks for everything guys! I'm so excited!!! Online check-in is tomorrow!

There is a new MTO for the 10/8 Fantasy cruise. The rates are only slightly better than the *GT rates on the 10/15 Fantasy cruise. You made a good choice!

Glad to hear it! I was able to get everything I wanted including Palo brunch too, so I think booking the VGT was definitely the right call. My online check-in was the day after I booked! Stuff is more scarce now.

Earlier in the summer, discount rates were offered for many of the 3 night, Dream cruises and a few of the 4 night ones. But, there haven't been any offered for Sep. or Oct. The Sep. cruises seem to have little availability. There seems to be more availability in Oct. and Nov. Looking at 10/3, it looks like many categories are in GTY. If they were to offer a discount, it might be for a veranda and would happen soon. But, I don't think it's likely to happen.

Of course, now that I have written that, a MTO will become available tomorrow!
