Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[John VN]

I believe what is shown is for the first 2 guests sailing.

WOW if it is so!!!! Thank You. Maybe time to surprise DW, our 45th anniversary this year.

 

[kcbonnies]

I am booked on the 4/9 cruise on the Dream. According to the spreadsheet, there are 131 empty verendah rooms and 191 empty rooms overall. Do the *GT fares count in these numbers? In other words, is there going to be a lot of available rooms on this cruise? I guess what I am trying to figure out is whether the GT fares are reflected in the room counts?

As a separate question, when filling the *GT fares, does Disney tend to put people in the larger family state rooms or do they just put you in the normal ones with hope that folks upgrade at port?

 

[Chrissy-Mickey]

PLEASE excuse my total ignorance since this is my FIRST in depth look at this thread and DW is the travel planner/booker always DCL direct, the rates shown are for up front payment per person---so double the shown amount, correct??

Thank you!

No, DCL shows rates for two adults in one stateroom.

 

[John VN]

No, DCL shows rates for two adults in one stateroom.

So the rate shown from previous page for a V Category on this cruise 04/28/2018 Disney Fantasy, 7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral, I: $3157.86 - O: $3325.86 - V: $3731.86 would be a total cost of $3731.86 for DW and myself?

On DCL site it shows $8,015.86 for either 11012 or 11022

 

[Dug720]

11012 or 11022 are Concierge. NOT Interior or Ocean View.

Also the rates you are looking at that say I or O means you're not picking your stateroom. You're agreeing to take whatever Interior or Ocean View cabin they put you in.

In this case, "V" means verandah.

Still, it is a good price for a verandah.

Thanks guys. I missed the V. I did get that the specific numbers they listed were Concierge.

THANK YOU ALL FOR CLEARING MY FOGGY BRAIN!!!

Not sure if Disney has a rhyme or reason that we know of. One thing they have to balance is the life boat capacity. While there may be staterooms available, there may not necessarily be room in the assigned lifeboats. (I mean there is room, but they don't over crowd them because they know that sometimes you just end up in the first available). They may also consider workload for the stateroom hosts. Caring for full rooms of 4 guests is probably more work than the same number of rooms with only 2 guests each. Finally, there are also rooms across the ship they hold back for a number of reasons, scheduled maintenance, deep cleaning, and guest recovery rooms (like if your room is leaking water on the carpet or the bathtub overflows) and they need to put you somewhere else. I also don't think that they do it purposely to try and up sell you at port. We took a VGT room in October 2014 and ended up in a 4a room on deck 9. It was certainly very awesome and unexpected!

I would be curious how many people actually go to port and then look for an upgrade though. We have booked VGT (2x), and a GTY room. I have also booked 3 rooms via selection category (choose category and location) and 1 room selected through the MTO rate. We have never been disappointed with the VGT or GTY rooms. But I suppose we always could be. At the end of the day, I'm on vacation.

Before we discovered how great having a cabana is on CC, we used to book FLR rates all the time. Now it seems we booking much more in advance and many times concierge to increase our cabana chances.

The room counts come from the rooms available from selection on Disney's website, so I'm not sure. If I had to guess I'd think that Disney would allow rooms that are not assigned be picked, and then when they assign VGT / GTY etc they fill in the other rooms. So I would guess that No they are not counted, but I can't be certain.

 

[vertigo235]

We also have no way of knowing how many GTY or *GTs have been purchased either.

Before we discovered how great having a cabana is on CC, we used to book FLR rates all the time. Now it seems we booking much more in advance and many times concierge to increase our cabana chances.

These days, unless you are concierge, it doesn't seem to matter when you book though.

 

[Trera]

we have gotten cabanas as a Platinum before and scheduling our activities 120 days out.

I think the Fantasy is the hardest to get a cabana if you are not concierge.

 

[jenhelgren]

Does DCL ever raise the GT rates and then bring them back down again? We were looking at the 4-night 5/7 for a family of 4 and the verandah price went up around $500-the double occupancy GT rate is still the same so I'm guessing we missed our opportunity and need to keep searching.....

I am also looking at the 7 night Fantasy cruises 5/5 and 5/12 they have FL and/or CAN rates right now--what is the chance that either cruise will go out to GT rates for everyone??

 

[vertigo235]

We are booked on that 5/5 Fantasy cruise and were hoping the same thing so my dad and his GF could join us, but I guess Disney wanted to spite us.

Too late now anyhow they ended up booking the 5/21 Dream cruise instead.

 

[disneymagicgirl]

I am booked on the 4/9 cruise on the Dream. According to the spreadsheet, there are 131 empty verendah rooms and 191 empty rooms overall. Do the *GT fares count in these numbers? In other words, is there going to be a lot of available rooms on this cruise? I guess what I am trying to figure out is whether the GT fares are reflected in the room counts?

As a separate question, when filling the *GT fares, does Disney tend to put people in the larger family state rooms or do they just put you in the normal ones with hope that folks upgrade at port?

Our *vgt we got connecting deck 7 4As. It was awesome!

 

[vertigo235]

We hav eonly done a VGT once, and it was a 4A FWD on Deck 10, totally a room we would have picked on our own.
