Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[kimkreis]

Am I understanding this right? The military discount (when and if it is available) is only for retired and active personnel? Not for a military veteran with 6 years of service? (P.S. Princess Cruises ALWAYS gives military on-board credit for ALL veterans.)

"US Military Rate (MTO) - Eligibility Special Military rates are available to all retired and active U.S. Military personnel (or spouse), including U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, U.S Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve and U.S. Department of Defense personnel. Active and retired members (or spouse) of the U.S. military must provide valid identification at time of check-in. This offer is limited to a maximum of one stateroom per military member (or spouse), per sailing. A U.S. Military service member (or spouse) is required to sail to take advantage of this offer. Activated members (or spouse) of the U.S. National Guard or the U.S. Army Reserve must also show active duty orders (active duty papers must be dated as of January 1st of the previous year to qualify)."

Yes, you are reading that right.

Does anyone know what the military rates were for the May 1, 2015 Panama Canal? They were gone way back when I thought to look them up. I'm not having much luck searching the thread. Trying to decide if I should cancel and wait for rates or take my chances and then rebook if lower (lose my deposit).... Any info on VGT rates would be appreciated as well. TIA

Hello there!

I am very new to DCL (& cruising in general) but visit WDW often. DH and I are hoping to cruise in July under the MTO rate. Initially we wanted to do a 7 night Western Caribbean, but after seeing it being over $3000 for the last June rate I saw I believe we are more likely now looking for a 4 or 5 night Bahamas cruise as I would like to stay under $3000 for the room. I did a little online digging and saw last year that the Bahamas cruises were often offered MTO at $175pp/pn [I'm not sure on what room type it was though, do you know?]. Do you feel that will hold true this year? (Is there even any way to tell?) It's just the two of us. I'm looking at the July 10th, 15th, or 19th as options. Thanks so much for any answers!

Does anyone know the likelihood of Fantasy/Eastern Caribbean, 9/12 , having MTO discount? Have it booked currently but way too expensive. Thinking of rolling the dice to see if discount becomes available. However, I think all you wonderful people have way more knowledge about this than me. Thanks so much!

Thank you Bree. I have a big decision to make. We have a veranda right now and don't want to do 14 nights without one. Although I know they don't usually announce MTO rates before PIF date, I am checking daily.

We were very fortunate in 2013 they had GT and MTO out before PIF for the EBPC. Don't know if they ever do that any more.

That was very fortunate indeed.

In reviewing your dates I think the 5-day cruises on 7/10 and 7/19 have the most likely to have the discount. For the 7/10 cruise there are 9 Verandah categories open with only 2 of them in a GTY status and 4 of the remaining categories have at least 8 rooms open. So, it is likely that they will offer a discount of some kind. The 7/15 4-Night cruise has only about 30 verandahs left total so I doubt they discount. The 7/19 5-Night cruise has 9 categories of Verandahs open with 2 of them in a GTY status. Other the remaining 7 categories 2 have 7 rooms left while 4 of the categories have more than 8 rooms each. So, it is also likely they will offer a discount.

FYI, I only checked the verandah rooms because that is what I stay in. Hope this helps.

That helps a lot thanks! We want a Verandah so that is perfect. I'm hoping they come out soon, I'm anxious to get booked!

Hoping myself for the MTO discount. The DW and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage during that period. Man I sound old...... For the 9/12 cruise there are 8 categories within the Verandahs. Only 1 is in GTY status and there is only 1 5C left. However, of the remaining 6 categories, 5 have more than 8 rooms left. So, I am thinking there will be an MTO for that period.

As a bonus, I am throwing in my 9/19 predictions. I would probably be booking a B2B! For the 19th there are only 7 categories listed in the Verandah at this point. GTY's account for 3 of the 7 categories, but 3 of the 4 remaining categories have more than 8 rooms left in each.

My problem is that moving rooms is a deal breaker for the wife. She wants to put the stuff away on day one and pack to go home after the B2B. Will have to see (1) if discounts for 1 or both and (2) same rooms open.

 

[Justacruiser]

OK, and a little bonus information....... More than likely we will be able to do the 9//5 Fantasy with a B2B on the 9/12. The 7-Night cruises involving Labor Day are usually less crowded with schools starting back. Of the 7 categories of Verandah rooms listed, NONE are in GTY status and 5 of the 7 have more than 8 rooms available. So, my plan will be to nab the 9/5 and 9/12 when they come open and see I can stay in the same room.

Why have there been no FL rates? I have been patiently holding out... this is so disappointing. =(
