I'm thinking crazy things....

I am really intrigued by the double dip next summer. But it's hard to justify another cruise with DH when we have one booked on the Fantasy in March, and I still owe money on it, although it isn't due until December.
Here is what is turning around in my mind....switch the 7 day Fantasy to a 4 night Dream (which is what we did this year)...we would save about $2000. Then I wouldn't feel so guilty about booking the 5 night Dream over my BDay in July of 17.
I'd be giving up my Grand Slam and the SWDAS, but I think I would be OK with that. The whole lifestyle is what we grew to like. I may even book an excursion on Nassau once.
So would you trade one Fantasy cruise for two Dream cruises?

You need to set up a DCL budget where you put aside so much every month so you have it up front.

We are doing the Dream double dip next July 9. My kids ideal trip would be a double dip and so when it popped up, we switched a dream reservation from Spring Break to this one (plus I got to use my OBB)!

I'm just thinking I would be able to still take a 4 night over my spring vacation, and instead of the $4500 I booked for (and still owe $3500) I could pay $2500 and only owe $1500. Then I could book the double dip with my OBB and have a 5 night. It's also less stressful to have a 4 night because my various pet sitters would have 5 days to cover instead of 8!

There's something wonderfully tempting about a double dip...so I can understand your DCL math logic
