Alaskan Cruises - Question

[robind]

Does anyone know when we might see the point values for 2008 Alaskan cruise season?

I bought in August and need to use my developer points - we already planned prior to my purchase a WDW this December and we have a Hawaii trip planned for late April. So, my traveling compaions can not afford to back back to WDW before next August so I'm looking for something to do on my own.

I'm leaning toward the alaskan cruise a disney cruise or one of the adventures by disney. I'd like to find out the points as soon as possible so I can book and request vacation time from work.

Thanks for your help.

Well, you can get a good idea by looking at the 2007 points. Do remember that booking a single will probably not cost you the price of one person. It will likely be close to double. When booking a cruise all prices are based on there being at least two people in the cabin.

Yes, that was what I was looking at for a ballpark figure. Tell me about the single supplement - it STINKS but I have no one in my family who can afford to go - or would be willing to go - they all get sea sick. I'd die if I couldn't cruise - it's my favorite way to vacation - except for WDW of course.

Whenever I went with my mother on a cruise I always had to pay for her anyway, so I'm used to paying double - but it still stinks. Sometimes you can get by w/ 150%. I'm hoping to use my points for the cruise and then pay cash for the supplement and I can use frequent flier miles for the flights to get to the boat - so hopefully it won't be too expensive.

You might be ahead renting your points to someone and using the cash to book the cruise.
