Well, with the "great" new Kids sail "free" promotion- is anyone jumping ship?

What a let down huh? But I am not complaining because I got a SUPER AWESOME deal on this cruise. And there seems to be several of us booked into the 13 (i think) CAT 12's available on the ship so I might even get an upgrade! I was hoping for a deal that would be too good to pass up though so I could book the 6/20 Eastern, guess it's a sign I need my money more then DCL I am thinking of adding on a WDW stay for the next week though. It all depends on if I can get 2+ weeks off work

I know!! I agree with our awesome deal though!! We are doing Saratoga Springs for the week after- we added on to DVC so we have to use our developers points. We want to relax and do a couple of parks- we usually would do the park then cruise- but DD graduates from Kindergarten on the June 11th- and we didn't want to miss it. So we will cruise first.

On the last meet thread we had a game where you earned pirates, The person who makes every 100th post earns a the 500th post earns two and the 1000th post earns three The person who has the most pirates will win a prize. Anyone up for the game.

I used all my points until Dec of next year So I thought about doing the 4/3 deal but I am spoiled to DVC. I have been wanting to stay at OKW though so if I can get the time off I might try to rent points there. Zane's birthday is 6/22 so we could celebrate his birthday there. I also thought about renting a car and doing Sea World and Aquatica because I have wanted to try both of those as well. So who knows what we will be doing.

pirates sounds like fun to me ! I noticed you are from Texas where in Texas? I am in Abilene. Are you flying or driving?

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

We will be flying.
We drove in 2006 and loved it but it just takes too long to get there when you drive.

We are about 2hrs from abilene, when I was in high school we used to drive to Abilene to do our school shopping. I work for the Library and when we have workshops they are always in Abilene.

 

[Texas Disney Fan]

We are from Texas as well. My mil worked in Abilene for about a year back a few years ago. We drove up there once. I remember eating at a wonderful steak house (Perini).

Sorry to invade your thread...I'm not on the 6/13 cruise yet. For those that got the great rate on this cruise, did you book online or by phone? I tried with two different travel agents today, but neither got back to me. I guess it was too busy with the new promotion. Online was definitely not a great rate. Just trying to nab one of these great rates, and I am not having any luck. Thanks for your help!

Welcome!! We have quite a few 6 year olds.

I put Cat. 12 next to our name, Who else snagged the Cat. 12 rate. Lets see how many will be able to get the upgrade to at least an 11 since they only offer 13.

I had a cruise booked with a TA for 8/15/09- then switched when I saw this great rate. I would just book it if you see it, and then switch to a TA. It took about 4-5 days to get the Cat12 for us, then I called my TA and she nabbed it for us. I would keep an eye on the DCL site at night or early in the morning.
Good luck- I hope you can grab one.

We got a Cat 12 too- we have 3 people so not sure if we will get any upgrade- we would love one but not expecting it. The only thing we did in the room last time was sleep anyway.

I think you should book yourself since they come and go so fast and transfer to your travel agent. Everytime you walk by your computer plug in you info and check. I noticed that it usually pops up around 11:30am CST and 3:30pm CST and also 11:00pm CST
Good Luck!

I booked through my TA. I actually hadn't been on the DIS in awhile because it's too depressing when I don't have a trip planned. We were going on RCCL over springbreak out of Galveston. For some reason last Wednesday something told me to check my TA's website and I saw the rate listed. I thought it was wrong but I called anyway, at first he told me only May 30th was available and he held it for me but he told me he would keep a look out for June. Well the next day he called and it was available. You might try contacting them if you haven't already they are very helpful. All Seas Travel..hope I don't get in trouble for this!

We will be flying.

We are about 2hrs from abilene, when I was in high school we used to drive to Abilene to do our school shopping. I work for the Library and when we have workshops they are always in Abilene.

What airport do you fly out of? I have been watching airfare but it is so much higher then it has been the last few years. I always fly out of DFW.

 

[Zane_Anthony]

We are from Texas as well. My mil worked in Abilene for about a year back a few years ago. We drove up there once. I remember eating at a wonderful steak house (Perini).

Yes it is VERY good! So where in TX are you and are you driving or flying? I am not finding very good airfare out of DFW. Thought about driving but I hate wasting the extra days.
