Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[NeverSayNever]

Hi!

I am looking for your thoughts on 9/26 Fantasy and the 10/18 Magic going to *GT.

We have the 9/26 booked right now and PIF date is coming up - so I am wondering if we should let it go and see if a *GT comes about.

Our fall back plan would be the 10/18 Magic which we could turn into a BTB as we have the 10/14 Magic booked with an outstanding rate from over a year ago with an onboard credit.

You thoughts are greatly appreciated and thank you for everything that you do on the boards!

BEst,

NEVER Say NEver

Thanks for doing this Justsacruiser! Can you add 9/19 to the question above? What are the chances of having a GT rate?

I don't think any of them or promising for the *GT rate. What you could do is get underneath the PIF date for the 9/26, but outside the Magic dates (about 3 weeks) and see if they offer a discount. I don't think the September rates will go up, you might just lose a category you wanted.

Not to likely IMHO. sorry! But we are not at PIF yet, I would look again around 7/5/15 and see the availability.

Hi Justacruiser, do you think there is any chance for the 07/29 to come out as an MTO ? Thank you for all your help in advance...

 

[jbshell]

i am going to assume at this point 9/12 is really not gonna go *GT ugh....

That will be an interesting week with the holiday in there. The price isn't a bad price for the cruise. By the way, Happy Anniversary! The DW and I will celebrate 30 in September also!

I think you CAN wait a while to book to see if a discount is offered. I don't see that price going up much. But, a discount wouldn't be out till September or October if offered. OR you could just book the cruise and enjoy the time between now and the cruise, knowing you are booked.

Chance of discount: 45% IMHO

Good luck, let me know what you decide. But definitely a cruise for the 30th is the only way to go!

Thank you for the info....

I forgot to mention that we also need a handicap stateroom.

When I heard about "Fee Dining" for the fall, I rushed to make a ressie before everything was booked, (and our airfare). I might be able to change airfare if not too expensive and book a 7 day cruise, too many decisions. Can you tell I'm new at all this.

p.s. What Holiday is during our dates?? Thanksgiving is at the end of Nov. Happy 30th Anniversary also to you.

Any insight into if the Fantasy Western Aug 22 will go GT? I have family that will join us if the price is right for them. Thank you for this thread it's very helpful!

What about the 3 night Dream sailings in September? I feel like they went GT last year. At this point, would you just wait and see?

Thanks for everything you do with this thread!!

I know you don't have a crystal ball, but what is your opinion on the odds of the 7/18 Fantasy or the 7/19 Dream going *GT or FLR?

I am at the point where I want to book at prevailing rates so we still have our trip. (DD #3 turns 7 on the 18th and DD turns #1 turns 16 on the 24th and both want a cruise). We didn't book sooner because DD #1 was supposed to be away at camp but turns out she is home instead now and so we are last minute.

Ugghhh, still nothing for August on the Fantasy

I CANT BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE NO *GT YET sorry for caps it was on i guess

 

[emilymad]

I can't believe they aren't discounting the Dream July sailings. If you believe cruisefish they are still at their opening prices (assuming I understand cruisefish that is)

July 29th Dream cruise is *GT right now

I'm on that cruise. Im guessing I'm glad I booked this cruise while on my last cruise. I was going to wait and see if there was a discount. Last year both the fantasy and magic had sailings so needed to fill cabins. It doesn't appear that is like that this year. Last fall we grabbed a couple of cabins with the special 30%dvc discount and saved over $2000. Looking at the upcoming prices made me realized that a discount is the only way we can afford to cruise with the family now. Wow the prices seem so much higher now.

I'm wondering if there are ever discounts on the 2 night cruises to nowhere out of San Diego? They seem pricey for such a short cruise but I expect they are also fairly popular for people just wanting to try out cruising. Considering the Oct 9 cruise and wondering if I should just try to book now or wait and see. Thanks for any input!

 

[jbshell]

probably not but i cant say if they have!

 

[hayesfamof4]

I am not quite sure what happened... almost all of the July Dream Cruises (with the exception of the last two of the month) are almost completely booked. Did I miss a discount??? I was holding out for one in July but it's not looking good! Guess I'll be sailing this fall.

Veteran's Day.

Thank you. I knew about Veterans Day, but I didn't think it would affect the crowds for the week.
