Double dip pricing

[Spacecase1]

Our first Dream Cruise was a 5 night, then they were one for last and his year, but the 4 night was the same price!!! So mad. I wish we had re option to do the 5 night (we are booked for next month) but I agree the prices are stupid expensive.

I'm a newbie here - what do you mean by "double dip"?

A "double dip" cruise makes 2 stops at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay.

Some prices are out on the opening day rates and rates are scaring me. Cat 10 is already sold out apparently as well on some.

I was looking at the 6/22 but it seems I'll be priced out... Some rates from gold/plat members...

2A/2C Cat 10A
6/22/15 - 4 night double dip on Dream - 4631.04

7/5/15: 5-Nt. Dream Double-Dip: 3A/1C (13)
Cat. T: $10,371.04
Cat. 5E: $6011.04
Cat. 9B: $5611.04
Cat. 10A: SOLD OUT

I've been watching the Opening Day thread as well and it's scary! Not sure if we'll be cruising in 2015...

There were a few cruises that we are interested in for 2015 with the July 29th DD being one of them but the prices are crazy!! Alaska on DCL definitely is not happening next year from the prices being reported and our other choice was a western on the Fantasy but I'm not paying $7000! It looks like we may be trying RCI next year. We have a 5 night on the Wonder booked for April 2015 but we will probably cancel that and book a 7 night western on FoTS for a few hundred dollars more. Looks like our cruise on the Magic next month will be our last DCL for a while.

It's not good:

1 adult 1 kid 11C: $3055.52
1 adult 2 kids 11C: $4138.28

These were all the same for all of the following 5 nt double dip dates: 6/26, 7/24, 7/29, and we're only slightly less than a 7 nt Fantasy cruise on 5/23.

We ended up booking a 4 night Dream for 5/25 for $2500 less than the double dips.

What is the pricing breakdown of the 4 night Dream on 5/25? I am currently debating whether to move our spring break Dream to that one. If the price is the same or less, I will move it.

 

[IncredibleboysMom]

5/25 4 nt Dream

1 A 2 K 11c. $2592.28
1 A 1K 11c $1893.52

5/25 4 nt Dream

1 A 2 K 11c. $2592.28
1 A 1K 11c $1893.52

Thanks. Looks like the same as the current pricing for the 3/16 cruise that I am booked on. I think I got it about $200 cheaper than that per room, so would cost me $400 to move. I think I will probably stay where I am.

 

[IncredibleboysMom]

This did not include an onboard booking discount.

 

[ksucats]

This did not include an onboard booking discount.

I factored that in, but forgot to account for the taxes. I just checked my rate and I got it at $1533 voyage fare (with discount) + $125 in taxes for 1 adult and 1 kid. I also forgot to mention that this is a 10a.

We did a double dip in 2012 and loved it. But the pricing is just too much for us. I would love to do another, my kids loved the beach, but we could do a whole week at a resort in the caribbean for the same (or less!)

WOW! Looks like no double-dip for us next year. Thanks for coming back and posting the prices.

Why is 1A2C less expensive than 1A1C???

 

[IncredibleboysMom]

Sorry, must have reversed them

If you haven't already, please remember to post this to the Opening Day thread as it's much easier to consolidate from there: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3252636

Thanks and enjoy your cruise!

I'm canceling my OBB which expires at the end of June 2015. I thought I might do the 6/22 but not at those prices. Our Xmas 2014 on the Fantasy is $7300 2A/2C on 5E which we decided to do once but will probably never do again. That was with the 10% and opening day prices.

This past winter we did 4n at WDW during Xmas and then did the 3n after Xmas cruise. It was short and sweet and worked out nice. But the next long cruise will have to be off season and based on *GT rates. These prices are indeed insane...
