I'm not sure I understand what you meant Dean. I was on a new years cruise this past year, and booking on the cruise for new years week the following year gave me a price of $7500 in a cat 5a room, using the obc discount. I paid dvc $5500 + 129 pts(going off memory, may have been a little more) . The points were for my daughter, and the cash for myself and my wife.
These are rough numbers, but within a few hundred dollars. I checked at around Valentine's day for new years 2015 and came up with roughly same price.
Again, this and Christmas were the only werks I saw this work out so well.
