Alaska 2017??

[Adreyer]

Just for reference, we booked opening day last year for Alaska 2016 and we booked on March 26.

Would you be able to tell us what the price difference is between what you paid on opening day vs. what it is now for the same sailing?

I can tell you...
We booked on Opening Day last year for the Aug 15, 2016 Alalskan sailing.
We paid $8158 (with Onboard Discount)... The same room is now $11,844

I'm assuming the prices Cruise Fish gives you is per 2 people in a room?

[jtba]

that is my understanding.

what am i saying? it was too early in the morning to write back...

no, that price on cruisefish is what each person pays based on double occupancy.

We paid $4999.07 for two adults and one child (8 years old) for a category 9B (large porthole oceanview on deck 2) for the August 8 sailing. We had no onboard booking discounts or credits. Category 9B is sold out. For a family of three looking today a GTY 9A oceanview is $7,938.57. I actually had originally booked a 9A, actually. I think it was around $500 more, if I remember correctly. So basically over the course of a little under a year, the price has gone up almost $2500. We checked the pricing when we were on board the Magic in October to potentially book with the onboard discount and it was better to keep our original opening day booking so it had already climbed pretty high even then.

According to cruisefish, the price per adult on opening day for a 9B was $1715 and the last price change on March 9 was $2492.

Our PIF for that cruise. date is April 9, just for a reference.

Here is the cruise schedule for the port of Vancouver starting May 2017 and so far, the Wonder is NOT listed.

http://ports.cruisett.com/schedule/Canada/729-Vancouver_British_Columbia/May_2017/

From what I understand, this website collects the port data from the different cruise lines. So since DCL has not announced cruises yet, they can't have the Wonder listed. The official port website only has the 2016 cruise schedule: http://www.portmetrovancouver.com/cruise/cruise-schedule/

I wonder if Easter has any influence on when they will announce the new cruises? I.e. If they will avoid announcing it in the weeks sour rounding Easter? That could push the new release into April? I hope not!

Do you think the prices they are charging now for the 2016 cruises will be their opening day prices for 2017?
