Current *GT/MTO/FLR Discounts!

[Ofinn]

I can not plan that far out either, and have zero patience as well!! The farthest I have ever planned ahead is for our 5/23 Alaska cruise. Booked it last July on a last minute cruise I took on the Fantasy just to get the OBB So obviously I am a last minute cruiser!! I guess I was just doubting myself but thanks to you I realize the error of my ways. It HAS been fun planning the Alaska cruise so far in advance but I don't think I could do it for every cruise or for the only cruise I take.

I just booked this cruise for me and my boys. I used an OBB. Its gone up about 300.00 since I priced it out opening day. Since my dh is not going I feel like I got a big discount already. Lol. Im sure theres going to be discounts on this cruise, but I need a room that has the bunk beds so I went ahead and booked. We cruise 3 times a year and there is no way I could book every cruise on opening day with an obb.

All my GT rates have been better than opening day. I dont mind cruising out of Miami, Galveston or San Juan to get the good rates.There were some great rates in winter/ Spring 2015 when the magic and Fantasy were doing the same routes. I dont know if DCl will repeat that mistake again. Its currently hard to get a good rate on the Fantasy, but if your willing to cruise out of Galveston you can save a lot of money.

i love cruising out of Galveston! we are in Dallas. SO many great rates this year and none would work with my kids and our schedules. i almost went on the san juan repo that left today but in the end i couldn't figure out a convenient way to drive to the port at galveston and then fly home to dallas.

personally I think the galveston sailings will continue to be discounted in 2016 and 2017 even with the Wonder being reimagined. they had trouble selling those when they cruised from there before. the ones i have my eye on are the january 2017 that go to key west, that is my favorite itinerary.

lol i feel like i get a discount cruising without the dh and even more if i can leave one of my 3 girls at home!!

So are you on the 5/23 Alaska? That would be really fun to meet up.

We loved our Galveston cruise. The food was the best we've had a cruise. Maybe because it came from Texas. Probably the friendliest people weve ever met on a cruise thats for sure.

I know things are kind of hit or miss with these discounts lately, but does anyone think there's a possibility of a FLR, DVC or *GT on the 4/27 Wonder out of Miami? I know we're getting close to summertime and possibly a couple late spring breaks, but I'm holding out hope. If they pop up, it'll be in the next month or so, right?

There's a possibility, but a few years ago, there were no discounts offered in the spring and summer months. It seems like the discounts have been dropping off lately.

When I look at that cruise, it is showing the 11B and 9C categories in GTY and the cat 4 verandas as unavailable. So, it doesn't look too promising for a discount, but, you never know.

Alright everyone. Today I am going to provide my SLEEPER RATES for 2016! However, I have adjusted my formula for the rates. Here are my new sleeper rates per day (including taxes and fees). The including of taxes and fees is new for my report, but due the new changes in the DCL program I have adjusted. For me the following are considered good deals.

Inside Room - $175 PP/PD
Ocean View - $200 PP/PD
Verandah - $225 PP/PD

Again, the above IS including taxes and fees.

Haven't pulled any information yet, doing it now! Be back in a few, will be doing per ship information.

What is the probability of them offering a GT rate for Spring Break week? 3/20?
Slim to none ?
or NO WAY you're dreaming?

Is it a 4 day or 7 day? Probably a better chance on a 7 day. There are very few discounts on the short cruises. Look back and see if they did last year. I would also look at the number of rooms left. I doubt the remaining rooms will book up at the current rate. It's Past the PIF date isn't it?

 

[Justacruiser]

OK, so I am working toward building a database providing more data. I have modified my Cruise Names to match exactly what DCL lists. Hopefully that will provide more meaningful information. It could take a couple of days to complete the system. Here is an update report for my SLEEPER RATES from now thru 5/31/2017. This is for the MAGIC only right now.
