** OPENING DAY PRICING 2017 Pt 3 September-December: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

[schmass]

Magic 7 night NYC-Bahams 10/14/2017
Cat 10A (Secret Porthole room!)
2A/2C (4, 2) $4925 with OBB $1512/1512/695.52/442.26 tax 763.40
no ins/transfers

This is our most expensive cruise to date, but I figure we'll come out even since we don't need airfare.

Was able to book this morning. I had Costco named on our placeholder so I was afraid of having to be on hold for hours! I lucked out and Costco TA was able to connect in 15!! Woohoo! So I had forgotten our placeholder had to be used prior to 10/1/17 so my original plans of the 7 day Mexican Riviera on 10/15 were crushed. I decided to do the 7 day MR on 09/24/17. Unfortunately that means my kids will have to miss the last week of the quarter (hopefully hubby will be on board with that or we will have to cancel) . Keep your fingers crossed for me. Anyway - here's what we got:

09/24/17- 7 Day Mexican Riviera
Cat#5C 2A2K $4848.76 1544/635 491.68 taxes (no transfers, no insurance, yes OBB)

 

[FloridaNative8]

Fantasy - Eastern Caribbean - 11/18 (Thanksgiving Week)
Cat# 5A 2A2K (6, 10) $7,819.64 No Ins/OBB/Transfers

Inside Stateroom was only about $600 cheaper, totally worth the extra for a verandah!

I wasn't thrilled with the panama prices next year, but Im sure we'll cross that off the list at some point.

I wasn't thrilled either mostly due to the comparison with the WBTA, but honestly the cost of airfare did the WBTA in for us. We have a ton of credit with SW Airlines, so EBPC is the contender now.

 

[AquaDame]

Just booked our first B2B! Thank you DCL for bringing the Wonder back to San Diego for October 2017!

Cruise 1:
10/1, 4 night Baja 2A/2K (17&16)
10A - secret porthole $2731.60
(800/800/380/380, tax 371.60)

Cruise 2:
10/5, 3 night Baja 2A/2K (17&16)
10A - secret porthole $2707.96
(780/780/375/375, tax 396.96)

I can't believe the 4 night is only $24 more than the 3 night, don't quite understand that pricing but oh well. We'll be gold on the second leg and we'll be able to celebrate our 21st anniversary on the ship. These cruises work perfectly for our fall break schedule!


Can I park my car at your house while we're on our cruises? I'd do the 7 night if I was you, that's what we were hoping for but couldn't with out school schedule.

Congratulations on your 21st! XD I was so tempted to do the same B2B (ours is October 5th) but we JUST did the 3 night baja a couple weeks ago and I have never been to two of the Mexico ports so I moved my placeholder to Oct 15th instead. We may not sail it depending on whether or not I can convince my husband to go, but I am satisfied the price won't go up on me now. We both do this thing where we get into a fussy mood about vacations and then change our minds later.

AquaDame:

Thanks again for doing all this. It is a phenomenal amount of work and updating, but so incredibly helpful to all!

I am always shocked how long it takes but it is a labor of love, I am glad to do it!

Thank you so much for this thread!!!! It helped me and my husband get a ball park price idea and I booked the Oct 6 8 night from New York this morning!!!!

Yay congrats! I'm always so glad to hear, it makes it all worth the time! I hope you have a great cruise!

Our anniversary is the 5th too! We could've celebrated together!!

Our 21st anniversary is 10-5-17 as well! We booked the 7 night out of San Diego on 9-24 since we had a placeholder that needed to be used by the end of September. Our school break is the first two weeks of October but we are leaving the kids at home for this one anyway.

And here I thought it was such a random day to be married - it just happened to be the day of our first date so we went with it even though it fell on a Wednesday that year! My one bridezilla act!

I see I am actually in great company! We'll "only" have hit 6 years though.

Yay, I'm glad you were able to book this cruise! I am SO tempted to book this one but we already have 2 booked in 2017 and I don't want to change either of them (finally getting my Alaska cruise in August 2017) sooooo.......hoping they offer this cruise in Fall 2018 so I can book a placeholder on one of my upcoming cruises and use it for that
