We have never cruised at all, so I am a newbie! When will I be able to book a cruise, using points, for summer of 2012? I called for summer or 2011, and there is no availability...at all.

Thanks!
 
My response is not meant to trigger another round of long standing discussion on these boards about using DVC points for something other than staying in DVC.

If you are cruising on points because that is the reason you bought them great. If you are cruising on points because it makes more sense to spend DVC points than dollars, price the cruise in dollars and see if renting your points to cover the cruise cost makes sense to you. In my view, this is a highly personal decision since I know for myself renting points out is something I'm not sure I want to deal with.

As for your original question on availability, I don't know since I've never cruised on points. I have cruised on DCL and I know that they are only booking now through sometime in summer 2012 (at least that is what reservations were being taken on-board).
 
Thanks for the response. We have quite a few "use or lose" points that I thought about using for a cruise. We have rented points in the past, but right now my time is more valuable then what I would make on renting the points. We had great success in renting our points, and no problems, but it was quite time consuming. We have points that I may just bank and cruise on them in summer of 2012, lots of options!

Anyone know when point booking start for June of 2012?
 
You can book cruises using points up to 24 months before the sail date based on availability.
