Come here to chat while waiting for the 2021 DVC Member Cruise! Will it happen??

[bobbiwoz]

Member Services will begin taking reservations on August 8 for our previously announced 2021 Member Cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida to Castaway Cay and Cozumel aboard the Disney Fantasy from June 12 to June 17, 2021.


DH and I would like to be onboard. Cozumel has wonderful snorkel sites. I like the two days at sea, and Castaway Cay.

Who else is thinking they will go?

If things are entirely safe, while also being convenient and fun onboard, and the prices are drastically reduced for some reason, count me in! Those would be the three factors that give me pause in thinking of signing up on day 1, though. That does sound like a great itinerary.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Don’t think the prices will be reduced, but hey, I could be wrong, maybe.

 

[Bellecruiser]

We are thinking about it.

Lower prices would be a nice incentive but agree that it's not likely. Thinking about booking this cruise since we don't have any cruises planned for 2021.

I would love to but no blue card

DVC usually a bit too rich for our blood but have extra points banked into next year, had thought about it but just can’t commit.

Sitting on a credit from RCCL that’s good into the end of next year, but truth be told, I’m just not feeling good about booking any cruise right now.

Game plan is to wait until we pass thru another ‘typical’ flu season to see how bad CV bounces back before making any concrete cruising plans for spring into early winter 2021.

I could be wrong but thinking demand for all cruising, including DCL/DVC is going to be down at least 50% going forward

Other than the fact that they allow walking, this is my second beef against DVC. Members Cruises are expensive, and if a member wants to come, I think they should be made welcomed. Your points may not be welcomed, but I think you should be.

Do you think there is a possibility it will be cancelled? Date moved?

 

[bobbiwoz]

I guess I think it’s going since they just announced the sign up date. Anything is possible. I hope there’s a vaccine and established cures for this virus.

Depends upon price. I can't use points because I'm saving them for a 10 or 11 person November 2021 WDW trip.

The Blue card is not even enough. To book the MC one must have direct point or resale points bought before the very first round of restrictions (in 2011?).

We are direct members who first purchased in 2018; we were on the Oct 2019 MC to Bermuda.
Never mind, sorry I thought you meant you had to be a direct member or resale before 2011 but you meant resale before 2011.

 

[bcwife76]

Unfortunately can't book this one for 2021, our kids don't get out of school until the end of June so this one is about two weeks too early for us.

Thanks for the info! Haven't decided about August 2021 yet.

DH is not as excited about me as far as DVC Member Cruises, and this morning a friend and my sister decided to join me on the cruise! I am thrilled!

How are the member cruises compared to the regular Disney cruises? Are they less crowded?

How are the member cruises compared to the regular Disney cruises? Are they less crowded?

Yes in the sense that there were way less kids. Every room was booked on the Oct 2019 cruise pretty much but a lot of staterooms had only two adults. We enjoyed it very much, it was our first member cruise. I'd definitely like to do another one down the road.
