No 7 night summer cruises with DVC points?

[VA_mouseman]

OK, we're beginning to look over our vacation options for the next 1-2 years. We've had a blast on our two previous 7 night cruises and would love to do one again. Ideally, we'll do it when school is out. Spring break and the Holidays are in peak season so either we'd not have enough points, or could only look at Cat. 11 or 10 rooms (not that there's anything wrong with that ...).

That leaves summer. Looking at the 2007 and 2008 cruise points charts, none of the seven night cruises have sailing choices in June, July or August. Why is that?

Three or four night cruises in the summer are available choices and if that's all we can pick from then we'll consider that. Just curious why the longer cruises aren't available. I realize demand in the summer would be higher and Disney understandably would like to make more $$ from paying passengers, but then that wouldn't easily explain why the spring break and holidays cruises are available as choices for DVC users.

Hi VA_mouseman-
DCL isn't running any summer 7-night Caribbean cruises during '07 or '08, whether you pay cash or points. During the summer of '07, the Wonder has been running its usual 3 and 4 night itineraries, while the Magic is doing 10 and 11 night Mediterranean cruises. In summer of '08, the Magic is going back to the west coast for 7-night Mexican Riviera cruises. The Wonder will still be doing 3 and 4 nights in the Bahamas (the 4 nights will have 2 stops at Castaway Cay).

Hope that helps!
Leslie

D'oh!!!

I totally spaced it about that. Yeah, the Magic gets to do the exotic Med/west coast cruises. Thanks for the sanity check.
