code's for discounts for first time cruisers

[kathymike]

Does anyone know if there are any discounts for first time cruisers?

I don't think there are such things. The best way to get the lowest fare is to first look on the DCL site and then call several different TA and get their quotes. You will most likely find that Dreams unlimited and All seasons travel will give you the best rate around!

Best $$ savings is to book off season and book early. I personally have never seen a "code" or anything for the cruises. (Probably because there are only 2 ships and they sail close to capacity most of the time)

they do sometimes give stateroom credits to first time cruisers, have your ta check for you when booking. aaa also give free soda stickers to each member of your party which are worth $38 pp on a 7nt cruise

My brother and my mother were both given a 50 on board credit for their cabins but I really had to fight for it with DCL(May 8th 2004 Western cruise). I got them this when I got back from my first cruise and DCL sent me a letter with some postcard DVD orders for "new cruisers" It stated that if they ordered the video or DVD's and then booked a cruise, they would be eligible for a first time cruise credit. I ordered the DVD's snd then I booked our cruise through AAA. When I booked with AAA, I gave them a copy of the letter (AAA faxed it to DCL) but DCL said it was no longer in effect. I told them no where in the letter did it say this and that I thought it should be honored. DCL finally relented. I think the code was CTC but am not positive as I got rid of the letter after I was sure the credits had been applied. Keep looking on the Net and constantly do searches such as the following - "DCL" and "booking codes". Good luck and hope you find one. Every bit counts. - Mike

We began researching our December cruise in January. On February 1 the price went up $200. In the middle of April the price went up another $200. Recently the price jumped another $150.

Don't know of any codes but we saved a little bit by booking through:
