BUT, I did discover that its possible to put two of you in the secret verandah and two across the hall in an inside room for less than all 4 of you in a regular verandah room. Check it out.

Will do! Thanks for the tip!

She said April.

Yes, I had multiple tabs open, so she typed the later post that said April while I was composing and posting my post. Didn't go back to see what posts I read since I was moving on to the next tab.

I wouldn't do 2 weeks in Japan in the summer, though. It's hot as h*ll and humid and miserable! I would go October through May. In september is was 98 with 95% humidity. The only good part about that was I never had to iron my clothes, they dewrinkled on their own while walking to the train!

haha, of topic, but my mom who doesn't cruise with my dad and I would totally agree with this. She knows a lot about Japan since her mother and my nannie is from Japan. And they said they would finally go with my dad and I so we are going to Japan in November after summer and when my mom doesn't have gardening to do, but I heard Japan ins hot in summer

November should be lovely! My dh insisted on September when we went (I had said October would be better but got overruled). It was HOT. It was finally getting a bit cooler (88 instead of 98) by the very end of the trip. But, that trip is how I got dh to agree to our DCL Western Caribbean last year. He was against cruising the Caribbean because "it would be too hot and miserable." So at that point I told him he no longer had an argument after September in Japan.

A secret verandah on the Magic and Wonder is a full plexiglass verandah room that used to be categorized as a 5 and is now a 7A due to a minor obstruction (and I do mean MINOR) that curves over the top of the balcony. Not all Magic class 7As are secret verandahs; you have to know which four rooms to ask for.

Also, Magic class 7As are NOT AT ALL the same thing as the tiny 1-person 7A balconies on the Dream and Fantasy. The magic class 7As are full size balconies that are enclosed with an open-air porthole.

Thanks for setting that straight. Guess I was thinking of the Dream/Fantasy little balconies.

So for us first time cruisers, when will the website be available to us tomorrow? We have a cruise booked for April 2015 we MAY switch to one of the 5 night DD's in July. I am having a hard time with the $$, but would love to celebrate my anniversary actually on my anniversary. Jul 22 will 20 years for me and DH.

I don't know where to post this, so I picked this thread. Now that people have reservations made, will there be planning threads started soon? I really need to join a Baltic planning thread and need ideas/insight for our precruise stay and activities.

I still have to wait till tomorrow to book, but we are doing the 30 May, 7 night Northern European cruise.

You can start a planning thread whenever you want in the Meets forum, which is where they reside. Just make sure one isn't started already before you create.

Anyone know what time online booking opens tomorrow?

 

[lbgraves]

$34k for a Cat T for 12 nights, up $7k on this year for 12 nights and less ports!!!

A lot of people will NOT think that's good value for money, I am not going to throw money away, I hope at some point they realize what there doing.

I am platinum and without a concierge lounge there is little to justify that cost now on the older ships.

That doesn't surprise me since it is consistent with the increase for the earlier 2015 dates already released.

Presumably the website should be live by 8am, as will the phones. My suggestion, do both -- see which gets you through quickest and easiest. Disney isn't know for having great website updates that work immediately.

Enjoy your cruise!

TYSM for this info! Now...how does one know/find out which cabins these are? (Hint Hint)

Even the off season prices are getting a little shocking. I can't wrap my brain around what some people are willing to pay for a 1 week cruise to the Caribbean. I can see paying big bucks for a European or Norway cruise, but gosh some of the prices of the Dream and Fantasy are a bit ridiculous.

 

[quinnc19]

They are 7120/7620 (I had 7120 for Alaska and it was great) and 6134/6634. BTW, the secret porthole rooms are 5020/5520, 5022/5522, and 5024/5524.

awesome!

 

[MC0810]

which phone number is best to call to make a reservation tomorrow? there are a few listed, I am a Silver CC member, do I call the CC number?

I had problems with both numbers (DCL mainline and CC) dropping my call when I made a selection. Perhaps have your cellphone in one hand and landline in the other and just keep hitting redial on each until you get thru? I took me about an hour of trying, alternating between the two before I got hold music... so I wish I would have thought of the two-handed two-phone approach on Wednesday morning.

Good luck, hope you get your perfect stateroom!

Does 7120 and 7620 have an upper berth since they used to be a 5C?

 

[DahliaRW]

I've been told they only sleep 3. Not all 5C rooms sleep 4 either.

And you guys should see my list for room preference. I think I have my top 50 choices on there in order, LOL! Hopefully I get one of them!
