CA prices went up overnight

[KelNottAt]

On May 5 I went to the DCL website to get a rack rate quote on a CA cruise so I'd have something to compare the TAs to. I only priced June 25. Then today I went back to dcl.com to get a June 18 price.

I did a double take when I saw the prices. Wow, an overnight increase. Just to make sure the date change wasn't the cause of the difference I compared yesterday's June 25 prices to today's June 25 prices. Here's a sampling of what I saw:

(All prices for 6/25/05 CA cruise)

CAT12 $5242 on 5/5, $5442 on 5/6 (+3.8%) Note: a June 2004 CAT 10 Western Carribean is $6121 today
CAT 9 $5642 on 5/5, $6082 on 5/6 (+7.8%) Note: a June 2004 CAT 9 Western is $6521 today
CAT6 $7242 on 5/5, $7882 on 5/6 (+8.8%) Note: a June 2004 CAT 5 Western is 8521 today
CAT4 $8402 on 5/5, $9042 on 5/6 (+7.6%) Note: a June 2004 CAT 4 Western is $9521 today

Looks like demand must be high. Anyone know what the 2004 7-day Westerns cost a year ago?

I'm amazed at the prices. I got the 2 week cruise for less than those prices (for the same category). What a deal we got yesterday - I keep thinking DCL is going to call me to tell me they made a mistake!

The prices were actually going up throughout the day yesterday - not just over night!! It's just amazing!!

I'm wondering if the poor DCL CMs have recovered yet!!

Kim - if anything I bet that if they dramatically increase the prices if they do this again for summer 2006.

Yup, it appears that the CA-FL repo
went up $1500 for Cat 9 during the
day yesterday. Based on my quote vs. others earlier in the day for 2 adults and 2 kids.
