Brilliant news - when are you sailing? I'm on hold with DVC member services while they're speaking to DCL to book a cruise for me........ it's scary waiting

 

[Beezymouse]

we're going.

Sept 11th 4 nights. cat 9A (2A) was $1092 which is only about £650. I was well impressed!

We had originally wanted 18th September but I think that's been reserved for MC 2011.

Fingers crossed for you. I was just lucky and went and had a wee look on DCL website at about 11.30am (gmt) and was able to book then. Although i do think it was a bit cheeky that they told people they could only book at 8am (eastern usa). Good luck.

Prices not as much as I expected. Is it non refundable deposit? was thinking of booking this evening at the prices I have seen but not if its non refundable, can't be 100% sure of our plans almost 2 years away.

Only the Inaugural has a non-refundable, non-switchable $400 pp deposit policy, Wayne. All other Dream cruises same as usual and deposit is $200 pp...

Ah thats OK then, won't be able to get on 1st one, it will be August. Should have made a dummy booking onboard this August, never thought, would have saved a bit.

Are you sure cabin 7172 is a Cat 9a? 7172 looks like an 8c on the colour codes. I think it's the same as a 9a, just has an extra bed?
We booked this morning too and have a GTY 9a. I'm hoping for an upgrade to the Royal Suite!!

LOL Joa ~ now that would be some upgrade

We managed to get booked on the 5 night double dip sailing 16th August in a Cat 8a, I was on the phone to MS for about 45 minutes while they spoke to DCL and I got the last 8a on that cruise

......Jakki - sorry I couldn't have been more help over the weekend..

You were the calming voice of reason that got me through the weekend

You are so right.....we have got an 8c (I was going for the 9a but nothing was available so went with 8c!)

I would like that upgrade too!
