I looked to see how bad because I was going to try to change my 4 night in August over but now there is no way my budget will allow.
Yes, to those going...Have a great trip!

Ya have to play with the "Cruises" menu on the right till it shows Mediterranean cruises. Then pick the 10 night or 11 night cruise and there is a link to show the basic rate structure: Here is the 11 night structure. But I'm sure after the first wave of ressies they will skyrocket even more!!

I've been pricing Med cruises through other lines and the prices above really aren't outta whack. Disney is typically a tad more expensive on Caribbean cruises and I'd expect the same for Med cruises as well.

 

[kcashner]

Oh my!!! And you are right.....we did the Panama Canal trip, and it increased $800 from the time I saw it on the web to the time I booked the next morning. They will be popular, and prices will increase.

Remember that we have no idea what these special ports, etc. are costing DCL.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Thanks for the info Lisa....just too rich for my wallet. Guess I won't be cruising the Med on Disney or anyone else.

 

[ColeenD]

Add Roundtrip airfare to Spain on top of that.........

 

[tigger2on]

 

[PhotoLisa]

My dh wants to cruise the Med next but he says it won't be a DCL trip. We're looking into Raddison (Regent) with all balcony rooms and smaller guest load per trip.

I'd love to do a DCL Med cruise but we're scheduled for a super-duper anniversary trip to the Appalachian mountains during fall color in October. Having just cruised at the end of February, looks like our next won't be until 2007 at the earliest.

 

[lillygator]

Here's hoping to get on one of the repos!

 

[jodifla]

It will be very interesting to see if there's really such demand for a family cruise with prices like this.

I can see the upper categories going like hotcakes...but who wants to pay 8 grand for a category 12?

 

[carolfoy]

The prices are phenomenal, even converted from dollars to pounds, royal caribbean and princess are far cheaper! I reckon they might have to look again if they're trying to capture more of the european market

 

[Luckymommyx2]

I've checked out repo cruises through RCI several times and their prices are nothing like DCL. Sorry Disney...love ya', but my wallet can't afford you on this one!

 

[misseulalie]

just to let you know,deposits are $700 for cat's 1-3, $500 for cats' 4-12

 

[makelab]

per person?

if you try to get a similarly sized room, the prices aren't that much different than rccl or princess.
