Looks like I will be pulling my daughter out of school for the first week of May so that I can avoid these prices. Its almost double!

 

[Stitch1313]

To clarify, the price above includes OBB credit.

I wish Carnival was in Europe all the time. I like their prices better. All I need is food, a place to sleep, and transportation to all the places I want to see....Oh yeah and a teen club so my kids don't drive me crazy. I will keep the spa rooms in mind.

You should really check out the prices for MSC lines in Europe. They're sort of the Carnival equivalent in Europe (flashy ships, okay food, lots of families, a bit of a party atmosphere on the pool decks) and they have lots of kids sail free promotions so you can get amazing rates. We sailed a seven day Eastern Med with them in 2014 for $4500 Cdn for 2A2C and I'm booked on a seven day Baltic for Aug 2107 for just under $5000 Cdn in an extended balcony. (I think it was $3800 US before the conversion)! We were a bit worried about trying something new, but if you mainly want to travel for the ports its an amazing deal. The rooms were really nice (Maybe even a bit larger than DCL) the food was fine, service was good, the entertainment was pretty lame and the kids clubs were nowhere near as good as Disney but we saw six amazing ports in seven days for an amazing price and had a great holiday.

MSC tends to fly under the radar a bit since they mainly market to Europeans and many Americans don't like the feeling of being in the minority on a cruise ship. It did get a bit tedious to have to listen to every announcement five times (Italian, English, French, Spanish and German) and the my kids felt a little overwhelmed with all the different languages in the clubs but their prices are often half the price of the North American lines, which more than makes up for having to deal with five languages and a bit of culture shock!

There is a good group from the 2015 cruise booking the 2017 because the prices are similar and yes, those kids are homeschooled. ( <--I hate that it marks homeschooled wrong) To be perfectly honest, the time change is rough because the "teens" don't come in until 2am every night. (Edgies, 1am, but at that point, it's all the same.) I had the same problem on the Hawaii to Vancouver last year losing hours. Because they are all teens, we just all sleep in and they are ok going to breakfast (without mom) when they wake up. I had plans to workout every morning on the EBTA 2015, which did not happen at all because I was so tired. We had 6 sea days in a row on the 2015, but it wasn't planned. We were supposed to head to Iceland and they changed it up on us. It's planned this time, so I should be more prepared for it. At some point, I am going to start going west and not east, but the timeframe for EBTA works better for us than mid Sept WBTA. I wish I could have hopped on the WBPC, but it was too early, so we have schedule conflicts.

Thanks you've given me something to think about. I'm assuming they change the clocks at midnight meaning the kids would lose an hour in the Edge or do they change it at 2am so confusing. We did the west bound Hawaii cruise. I loved gaining that hour. I think I would prefer the WBTA. I wish that cruise was out to look at.

TA reports booking the following for someone this morning:

9-night Alaska

5B--2A, 2C (16 and 12) w/o any OBB--approx $15,700

TA also reports the itinerary seems to be quite popular so it's "very possible" that prices could go up by tomorrow.

Yes, I would agree with that. This one has been extremely popular with my clients today as well. It's an unusual itinerary for Disney, so people are really interested.
