What is it w/o insurance and transfers?

 

[AquaDame]

What is it w/o insurance and transfers?

I'm not sure... I used Dreams Unlimited for the first time so I wouldn't get stuck on the phone for hours this morning and they don't seem to do it. I emailed asking her if she could though!

Edit: Man they are on fire today! Here you go!

Voyage Fare: $3,276.00 (1638pp then for our 5C)
Vacation Protection Plan: $262.08
Taxes, Fees, & Port Expenses: $179.36
Ground Transfers: $140.00

So take $402 off the quotes above for them without ins & transfers.

Since you asked, I went back and looked at my Dec 5, 2015 booking when those were released (I booked Day 1 as a Gold CC member). The itinerary is identical to what I just booked this morning for Jan 30, 2016 (I cancelled the Dec 2015 booking when Tortola was dropped from that itinerary - or DCL released their mistake of putting it on the itinerary when those were initially released). Here is my Jan 2016 info just booked this morning... Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean 1/30/16 (Tortola, St. Thomas, Castaway Cay) Cat #11A (Standard Inside, Deck 9 booked) 2A $1169/$1169 (with taxes fees of $89.68/person, it's $1258.68/$1258.68) Insurance cost is $187.04 Total Cost $2704.40 Now, looking back at my Dec 5, 2015 booking I made back in May (was that when those were released?), my rates would have been Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean 12/5/15 (Tortola, St. Thomas, Castaway Cay) Cat #11A (Standard Inside, Deck 9 booked) 2A $1253/$1253 (with taxes fees of $87.15/person, it was $1340.15/$1340.15) Insurance cost was $200.48 Total Cost $2880.78 Early December pricing is usually on par with Jan/Feb pricing; I came out better for 2016 than I did for 2015. Go figure.

Interesting. So it appears not to an increase?

 

[lbgraves]

But if you break it down on a per person/per night basis, it may seem a bit more reasonable/value for your money.

7-Nt. Fantasy 9B: $255.31/pp/per night
4-Nt. Dream 9B: $244.65/pp/per night
4-Nt. Dream 5E: $255.15/pp/per night
4-Nt. Magic 9C: $195.07/pp/per night
4-Nt. Magic 5C: $254.57/pp/per night

HTHs!

Not at all! That is still a lot more than the 2014 DCL spring break pricing. I have to pull up cruisefish.net to see exactly how much of an increase it is over the 2015 prices for the week of & before Easter.

Magic 01/17/2016 2A. Category T $6,931.24. Includes insurance

There isn't a 1/17/16 on the Magic. Is this the Wonder?

Again, I am meaning it isn't too bad when comparing 2016 pricing on DCL to other 2016 pricing on DCL on a per person per night basis. That's all I am saying. Not comparing DCL pricing to other cruise lines. Not comparing DCL 2016 to previous years. Just comparing the 4 cruises the person I quoted originally had posted b/c she said "Yikes" to the 7-Nt. on the Fantasy, but not to any of the 4-Nt. prices that she posted. But when comparing those specific cruises as per person per night pricing, they are virtually the same price (within a few dollars) with the exception of 1 of the 4-nighters being about $50-$60 cheaper on a per person per night price comparison.

7-Nt. Fantasy 9B: $255.31/pp/per night
4-Nt. Dream 9B: $244.65/pp/per night
4-Nt. Dream 5E: $255.15/pp/per night
4-Nt. Magic 9C: $195.07/pp/per night
4-Nt. Magic 5C: $254.57/pp/per night

That's all.

Hi lbgraves - I am not sure you saw my breakdown that I posed after my quote - I added it back to my original posting as well just in case its helpful!

 

[mom4fun]

Not seeing any price quotes for the Magic cruises that include Tortola. Am I missing something?

Hi Lisa!

January 31, 2015 Wonder Southern Caribbean:
Cat 6A, 2A : $1407 pp fare, $63.62 tax, had onboard booking 10% so total was $2659.84
