2 A, 1 C (12)

1335.60/1335.60/674.10

We moved a dummy date, but this was outside the 18-month window so no 10% off.

DCL doesn't know what they are talking about! They had the same problem with the 2012 Alaska + CA Coastal repo B2B cruises. The May B2B happened, but I'm sure DCL had to pay a penalty for each cruiser who did the B2B. The Sept. B2B people had to choose one or the other - and it was with only a few months' notice. Be prepared to drop one of them.

I'm not planning on doing this but just for my curiosity why is it an issue?

Ship: Wonder 5-night Baja 10/11/15
Cat # 5A
2A 895.50/895.50 (with OBB discount)
Insurance/transfers/air included ? no insurance/no transfers/no air
Total Cost: 1878.72

Ship: Wonder 2-night cruise to nowhere 10/9/15
Cat # 5A
2A 662/662
Insurance/transfers/air included ? no insurance/no transfers/no air
Total Cost: 1396.28

That price really discourages booking B2B (only $500 more for an extra three nights)

Subbing as well...

It violates the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_Vessel_Services_Act_of_1886) because the ship will transport people between two different US ports (Honolulu and San Diego) without making a stop at a distant foreign port. The stop in Vancouver is irrelevant.

If DCL continues to insist that this B2B is doable - I think it's because there is only one "illegal" B2B like this, and they will play dumb - as they did in May 2012.

I'm still new to all of this so just a quick question! I have a 7 night Fantasy Eastern Caribbean booked for next January. Will I be able to call at 9 AM Eastern tomorrow when it opens to the public and change that to one of the 10 night Hawaii?

Yes, exactly! And this is key to the act...
"However, in order to embark in a U.S. port and disembark in a second U.S. port, the vessel must visit a distant foreign port outside of North America (Central America, Bermuda. the Bahamas, and all of the Caribbean except Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, count as part of North America)."

 

[xraystitch]

Yes, you just will need to pay the difference in deposit.

Great thank you! I've got almost half paid so hopefully there won't be much! So exciting I hope it works out!

There is not much in terms of pricing for Fantasy.

If someone is having fun later can they get a quote for:

Fantasy 11/7/2015
2A2K (12, 9)
Catergory 4C

No big deal I can wait until tomorrow, just wondering if I will be shocked!

I'm looking for this same date. 2A2K (12 & 10) in an 8B no insurance and no transfers.

i used 2A2K with ages 12 and 10 for the quote. cm said seldom a difference with these ages. no ins., no transfers.
4C $5206.60
8B $4548.60

Phone lines open at 8am. 9am can apply to booking through the website, but sometimes new itineraries show up online before then anyway. Just keep checking!

Ship: Wonder 5-night Baja 10/4/15
Cat # 11B
2A2K $2225
no OBB/ no insurance/no transfers/no air

Can you give a per person breakdown?

Also, could someone check on the price of a 4B (2 adults and 3 kids) on one of the Baja sailings (preferably the Oct. 4th).

Trying to determine if we're better off getting 2 insides or one verandah room.

Thanks!

 

[thedonduck]

If you have paid more than the deposit, you shouldn't have to pay anything.

I'd be interested in this, as well. Thank you!
