2010 cruise info

[txaggie94gigem]

last time for the transatlantic crossing the deposit was $500pp...i am assuming it may be the same for these cruises too...

 

[wvdislover]

i also came on here to ask this question! i want to book the 7night barcelona to dover (which only sails on one day) but will be on the ship on the 14th, and on an excursion in the morning. do you think that it will sell out that quickly and i'll miss my chance? or have very long lines to book while on board that day? if anyone knows how it works with booking these while on the ship i would appreciate it also!

I know there are some TA's who are taking people's info early and waitlisting them, so that may be an option. However, you wouldn't get the discount and OBC that you do when booking onboard. Maybe check with the DCL agent on the ship when you get there and let them know your dilemma. Maybe they have a way to waitlist you, too, so you can get your cruise date you want and still be able to go on your excursion It's always worth a try! Good luck!

FYI - someone on my meet thread said they called DCL and the deposits will be $600 per person. The 50% promotion will be available through the end of October, but you must book online, not call.

Hi all- dumd ques- I was looking at the page on DCL with the westbound repo info on it- at the bottom it stated 3 and 4th guests pricing would be $99??? Someone please tell me what that is about!

Ok... I need help! I am wanting to book the Sept 8 2010 Med cruise BUT... I am not sure when to book. I am taking a 7 day eastern in dec and was thinking of waiting til then to book it because of the discount and OBC BUT... will it all work out in the wash if I wait or will booking on the 14th assure me a better price? PLUS... I would like to take advantage of the 50% deposit. How much is the deposit for a 10 day? HELP! Please... thanks!

I'd say book next week to make sure you get the best rate. Then when you are on the ship in Dec, ask them to price out the same cruise for you. If it comes out lower, then cancel your original and have them rebook you.

Would using a TA increase my chances of getting a Cat 3 room for the Northern Caps cruise?

Even here in the U.S. -- we live in the northern plains, no big cities near us - I checked prices for this September to Barcelona and back from Orlando - $2700 a ticket per person. Only two major airlines fly out of the airport here, so we have little choice and prices are expensive.

Look at a discount carrier out of Barcelona in 2007 we flew easy jet from Paris to Barcelona it was cheap & convenient.

Most flights to the US are through London or Paris or Milan in Spain check Madrid

Question for the Europeans - we're planning on taking the Northern Caps cruise in 2010 and will fly over a few days early. I would like to fly into Paris and my wife said we should fly to London. Questions:

1. How easy is it to get from London and Paris to Dover?

2. How much would it cost to get from London/Paris to Dover?

3. How much time would be need to go from Paris to London and then back to Dover? That is, is it a short train ride or an all day train/ferry/train ride?

The problem is ANY flight to Europe from small places in the U.S. are going to cost big bucks - Just to fly anywhere WITHIN the U.S. we look at minimum $500 for a ticket pp. So a flight from Podunk to Paris or Milan or London might save us $200, over Barcelona, but the hassle of booking more airlines, connecting flights and another ticket with a discount carrier, probably negates most of the savings anyway.

Unless it is a non-stop flight you are going to be hassled into Barcelona & the only non-stop into Barcelona I know of from the US is Delta out of Atlanta.

As a matter of fact my mother is flying to Barcelona in November for a cruise and she is going to Atlanta to fly out.

In 2007 we flew into Paris for a week at DLP & then took Easy Jet to Barcelona it was less the $100 per person!

Flying back to Boston we flew Air France from Barcelona our connecion in Paris was 6 hours late (Airport ground crew strike.)

1. How easy is it to get from London and Paris to Dover?
Very easy by train Eurostar or local services, coach from victoria car hire and even plane
2. How much would it cost to get from London/Paris to Dover?
It really depends on your route I think the best and cheapest is train, for example Paris>Ashford by train would be about $100pp
3. How much time would be need to go from Paris to London and then back to Dover? That is, is it a short train ride or an all day train/ferry/train ride?
Paris >London by train 2.5 hours, Dover 1.25 hours
~Mike

For international services from Paris or DLP use Eurostar and if you want to go to Dover change at Ashford.

For trains to Dover from London they go from Victoria and Charing cross in central London.

Hi all- dumd ques- I was looking at the page on DCL with the westbound repo info on it- at the bottom it stated 3 and 4th guests pricing would be $99??? Someone please tell me what that is about!

Yep, I noticed that, too. The $99 price is only appearing on the Eastbound and not the Westbound, though. My guess... I have heard that the Westbound crossings can be quite choppy. I was told by a spa CM that several CMs had to terminate ther contracts early, because they couldn't get the rolling out of their ears after the EB crossing. She told me that she would be giving a facial and have to stop and go throw up in the middle.

Specialist DCL TA's are very good, but I would say the chances are equal.

Its a typo and error.

I'm interested in the Eastbound transatlantic.

Thanks
