DCL Reservation experts - couple questions (2005 booking)

[CaliforniaDreaming]

Does anyone have any idea when I'd be able to book a cruise in June 2005? It's a $250/pp deposit, right?

I do have one slight problem, though. We'll have 2 rooms, 2 people in each. However, in my room, I have no idea who the second person will be (either my sister or a friend). Probably won't be able to tell them exactly who until 9-12 months beforehand. Can I still book my cabin? Will I need to do it as single occupancy, or should I just give them my sister's name? If I do give them my sister's name, and I have someone else come along instead, can DCL change the name (this would be long before the final payment, so doc's won't be issued yet)?

Thanks so much! I really want to take advantage of the EBS & wide range of cabin choices!

I'll tell you what I can CD, and it'll help bump this back up.
You'll need to check with DCL and see if they can tell you when the June'05 prices will be available, should be pretty soon as we booked little more than a year out.

They will require both names to assign an actual room to you. And, I think, if you change a name later that you will be accessed a fee. Again I'm not complete sure on this, but someone else will help us both out, I'm sure.

I would look for the remainder of 2005 to be available to book at some point in January. If you are booking a 7nt cruise, the deposit is $250 per person.

You can change the name of the 2nd person in your stateroom without penalty at any time prior to making the final payment, which is 60 days in advance of your cruise.

Thanks so much both of you. Sounds good to me.
