That's what we should have done. My husband just decided he really wanted to go and now my parents want to go. We may wait till May.

Our January cruise the GT rates came out pretty early right after PIF date. They came and went a couple of times. Not the case for our May cruise once they were gone they stayed gone.
Should I hold outor go ahead and pay the $600 more??? Opinions please.

Just wanted to add another "thank you" for posting these fare updates!
I HATE to post this in this thread, cause I am sure it's been answered before. But I know very little about the VGT rooms. I think they are guaranteed, meaning you pay in full? and it's discounted?
My trip is in November, would it be beneficial to keep up with this in case soon prices drop and I can re-do my package for cheaper? Or is this for people without reservations, but liquid cash on hand waiting to pounce on a deal?
Thanks so much in advanced!
It's for people without reservations that are waiting to pounce on a deal. You do have to pay in full and you don't get to pick your stateroom just the category. It's possible to get some great deals this way. You do have to be flexible, and it can be a little stressful waiting to see if the week you want is offered.
For those who watch the *GT rates closely (or yearly), any idea how long the typical *GT rate hangs around before it is pulled again?
I am thinking of holding out and seeing if *GT rates are offered for a fall cruise, since its so close at this point anyway. I am looking at two different itineraries, one the week after each other. Do you think if a *GT rate was offered on one sailing, it would hang around for a week for me to compare it to the next week? I know that there are no promises when it comes to this stuff, and its a little like reading tea leaves, but any thoughts or experiences from watching *GT rates in the past is appreciated!

I agree some of these prices don't last long. I've seen some gone by the end of the day. I've been watching this closely and learning a lot. I was hoping for the 5 night on sept 29th but now decided on a 4 night instead. I've been watching august 31 or September 7. Keep in mind while we are seeing the discounts for the public, Florida residents and military. There is also another group booking discounted cruises and that is cast members who are also offered last minute cruises for themselves, family and friends. Actually that was our first cruise when we took advantage of that with our cm friends.
