Following along as well. I was wondering what the going rate is now for points & what the incentives are now (if any)?! We reallllly aren't in a position to add-on right now
BUT we'll be taking a
DCL Med cruise in August and I've heard that they sometimes have better incentives on the ships to add-on. We are hoping to go to Aulani in August of 2012 but it's too soon to know yet what the 7 month availability will be like for summer months. We try to go to Hawaii every 5 years so we're actually "DUE" this summer. We decided to postpone it a year once they announced that Aulani wouldn't be done until late summer / fall of this year. (DS's school starts the last week of August every year so we flipped Hawaii for cruise.) We usually only use studios and since Oahu is our least fav. island we'd only stay there 4-5 nights. I was thinking that 50 points would probably serve us pretty well
if the price is right. Then I wouldn't have to worry about the 7 month window thing for next summer...
We are going Sept. 7-10th with another couple and was able to book 2 IV studios at the 7th month mark. I own 50 pts but needed 2 rooms. I got the first room at 11th month mark and was able to get the 2nd room at the 7th month mark. We are going on a 7 nite Norwegian cruise around the islands from the 11th-17th.
Can't wait to hear about Disney cruise possibly going there.
Nobody has said yet what it's going for "normally" now and the price is not on the DVC website. That's so much more than what we paid for our SSR points
...hard to swallow in a way...esp. if the price is even higher for only 50 pts. When you say you got a huge credit - do you mean an OBC on the cruise or something else?
For my 40th birthday. Never know, I could be buying myself a birthday present... hmmmm
