Newbie..Need DCL Veterans Advice..Are these good rates?

[capthooksmom]

Hello everyone,
I'm not new to WDW or cruising, but have never cruised DCL before. I priced (through WDW online) a cruise for Feb. 2006, and I'm wondering if these rates are good, bad, just OK, etc. This is for a 3 night land 4 day sea package. 2 adults, 1 child, age 5 at the time. It's a possiblity my mother might come with us so I need a room that will sleep 3 adults and 1 child. The price below is only for 2 adults, 1 child, though. Also, is February an OK time to cruise? Will we miss out on alot?

3 nights at the Poly
4 nights at sea in a category 5 stateroom

Quote #2: Feb. 23, 2006

4 nights at sea in category 6 stateroom
ground transportation included

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I would book the lower price quote because there really is no difference between the Cat 5 and Cat 6 stateroom except a slight variation on location. That will leave you an extra $300 for all the extras! Have a wonderful time!

Can you give me any idea what the differences are in location?

The only difference between Cat 5 and Cat 6 are the deck locations. Cat 5 is on deck 7 and Cat 5 is on decks 5 and 6. The rooms are exactly the same.
