Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

Justacruiser, can you tell if the 8 cruises they just added Star Wars to for next year were selling poorly?

I think I'm toast...

 

[Justacruiser]

First off I noticed that all the dates are Western Caribbean Cruises, which personally I am not a fan. I prefer the Eastern myself. It looks like most of the dates are wide open right now, but typically January and February are slow anyway. it is a good marketing strategy for them to attempt to increase the sales. My prediction is that for January/February the Star Wars will increase sales a bit, but the March/April will fill quicker. So, my thought is that the latter dates will sell out and the January/February could be close, but may offer discounts.

If anyone is set on the March/April cruises they should probably go ahead and book. Not sure when DCL will start their marketing on television with it, but that advertising will drectly impact the prices.

Hope this helps.

Decisions, decisions...I was already torn between the Fantasy on 4/24 or the Magic on 4/25 and now the Magic has gone VGT first. Hopefully if I hold out, both will be available VGT at the same time. And I was surprised the *GT rates showed up so quickly since the PIF date was just Tues.

Yeah. I'm toast... Sigh.

I never did like SW.

I have been to SW days at WDW. It was crowded on the weekends at Hollywood studios, but no noticeable difference during the week. It was still moderate crowds. April/May is still the offseason, and I'm not sure how many parents are going to pull their kids out of school just for Star Wars. I wouldn't give up hope. I love Star Wars, but I would still rather go to Tortola and St Thomas. On the other hand I could be totally underestimating the popularity of Star Wars.

Thank you SOOOO much for posting the MTO for Panama Canal. I just booked it this morning. I could not find that rate anywhere, but you did, and I am so thankful.

I wouldn't mine being on the ship during Star Wars days. I figure they'd be easy enough to avoid (me and girls) and somewhat fun for DH and boys. It's that I'm thinking it WILL boost enough interest to keep *GT rates from popping up. Oh well. I was pouting last night, but I'm sort of over it now. If we have to do an eastern or a Magic, I can deal with that. I even think we might prefer Magic (again) for the size. But I wanted to give Fantasy a try, and for some reason western sounds more fun to me... ... ... But anything will work.

 

[Ofinn]

There does seem to be a lot of excitement on these boards for the Star Wars cruises. I wasn't impressed with the Halloween or Christmas activities. As much as my family loves Star Wars I would be hesitant to book a cruise just for the Star Wars activities. Hopefully, they do a good job with it. I hate to see people disappointed if that was their only reason for choosing that cruise.

It's crazy they have rights to STAR WARS and yet their big tie in is 8 days at sea? Build a land!!!


But yeah - it'll probably just motivate on the fence people OR just move them from Magic or eastern Fantasy to western Fantasy.
