This actually came out yesterday, but I haven't seen it over here yet- and it CAN be budget related- there will be sailings out of NY, Galveston, and I think Seattle, which may make it way more affordable depending where you live.
It's nice to see that they're using other ports but they are still overpriced. Personally, I'd rather sail on the Azamara ships if I'm going to overpay for a cruise.
I agree that they're overpriced. The only real appeal for me is Castaway Cay and I hear Holland America's private island is better.
BUT there are those who want Disney at whatever cost- AND they're offering a 2 day cruise to nowhere out of NYC that might make a weekend possible for folks who could NEVER do DCL otherwise.
