Unfortunately, the May 29 cruise won't fall into that. It appears that some group has bought up a large amount of rooms. About 2-3 weeks ago, the number of rooms available dropped, and prices went up suddenly on that cruise.Ive been saying for months the euro cruises would be discounted. They were so overpriced. Were sailing on the New carnival Vista in a balcony room for 1/5 the price of an inside room on dcls 12 day med cruise. I know a lot of people say the service on carnival is not anywhere near dcls, but the ship looks incredible.
Not sure someone else posted this (I glanced and didn't see anything), the 8/2016 Med sailings for the 7 nights and 12 night sailings all have *GT rates showing. This is before the PIF date (if my math is correct) so that's interesting. We have Med 2017 on the radar and I don't think I'd wait out this long but perhaps others that have flexibility might be able to. I first noticed the 8/20/16 sailing on 2/27/16 so not sure how long they've been there.

I think its a school break week for kids in England. I was surprised it didnt sell out sooner. Im hoping to do that week next year since the prices have been reasonable. Keeping fingers crossed its a Baltic cruise. A major price hike over this years prices will have me looking at another cruise line again.Unfortunately, the May 29 cruise won't fall into that.

You are 100% correct!! My apologies and I already deleted/updated my post so more won't be confused. I swear the new website is just bonkers but agree as you said it's not "with restrictions" which is the *GT rates and I'm fully aware of what they are as we've done a few of them (I should know better lol). I know what you mean about being cold last summer as it was beyond freezing when we left Iceland and were in the open waters but the time in Iceland and during the excursions wasn't bad at all. It was so appropriate that was our "Freezing the Night Away" celebration. Brr....I just looked at our 12 night Med Cruise and didn't see any *GT rates. They do have guarantee rooms in 9C, but that is different that the guarantee rates with restrictions. Our PIF date is April 1. I saw the great price for the June 17th sailing, but we can't sail then due to school and I need warmth this summer. We did the 12 night Baltic last summer and I wore gloves and a scarf a lot of the time.![]()

Im sure we'll see them at some point. I expect the Sept med cruises to have them. I have no plans to cruise on Dcl this Summer, but I enjoy watching what happens. I would love to the Iceland cruise some day so I was kind of happy they couldnt sell it at that price point.You are 100% correct!!

I like that itinerary too. I havent been to any of the ports. If we like Carnival and the Vista Ill probably book it in the future. I met a women on our last cruise who had been on 23 dcl cruises. She is also sailing on the Vista. She has also sailed Carnival many times and likes them too. It made me happy to hear that.I am salivating over the CCL Vista. I wish I could do the 8-n Southern Caribbean!

We paid 2700 for four in a cove balcony. They hardly charge anything for the third and fourth passenger. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they don't pull out of Turkey.We are also "jumping ship" to the Carnival Vista for a Med cruise this year. $1800 total for 2 in an inside cabin.

Some really good deals right now. I just came back from a B2B last weekend and have a cruise booked for October already.
Deals given on board?
