Yes, that looks right. Note that the lowest prices are for restricted view rooms.

Thanks!

Correct. But dag gum. That's some good discounts. And before the paid in full dates?

Yes. I don’t understand why DCL releases guarantee rates before PIF date. That is leaving money on the table because everyone can cancel and rebook without penalty for the lower price. Except concierge.

Exactly. It is making me think I should really start studying and tracking these opportunities.

Obviously because they aren't selling rooms on this sailing. They could hold off until 3 months out and hope people book at last minute, but then you run the risk of losing customers to other Spring break plans. The people that do cancel and rebook are locked into non-refundable rates several months in advance with no turning back. Seems like a win for DCL.

Its a win for both. Especially if they release the heavy discounts before the paid in full dates. DCL fills up the ships and the customer gets a nice discount in return for some trade offs. I haven't kept up with DCL in the past years, we'll since 2011 but I think 2026 could really be a year of heavy discounts for DCL.

The Treasure cruise that same week (leaving 3/21 I think) also has restricted rates on it already at a big discount from opening day rates. I think that’s also before the PIF date even though that PIF is 120 days out.

Wow.

I think this is a school scheduling thing. I'm guessing most primary schools have the week of 3/30-4/3 as spring break (as ours does.)

That's reflected in Treasure prices:
3/21-3/28: $6,641 Veranda
3/28-4/4: $10,374 Veranda

And in the Fantasy prices:
3/25-3/29: $3,436 Veranda (4 night)
3/29-4/3: $7,366 Veranda (5 night)

If you don't have to schedule for a spring break the week before Easter, you can definitely find some good deals this year in March.
