Opening Day Pricing Autumn 2025 into Spring 2026: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy, Wish, Treasure

Well after 40 minutes on hold, I was able to get two cruises booked for a back-to-back and used my place holder on the 7-day cruise:

Wonder April 20, 2026 7A 2A $3096.22 [1276] [1276] ($340.06 taxes/fees) (Ins 204.16) no/xfer/air/OBB
Wonder April 24, 2026 7A 2A $5,102.42 [2192.40] [2192.40] ($366.84 taxes/fees) (Ins 350.78) OBB no xfer/air

These will be our 5th and 6th cruises, all on either the Magic or Wonder. We can't wait.

Psy
 

It is. And as I had suspected, nothing but inside really left for silver. We have one booked, but unless a verandah opens up, we won't be going. So disappointing.😞
I'm sorry. We have a midship verandah as well but won't take that as DH will feel claustrophobic. Will keep checking for an oceanview for us.
 
For those wanting an Ocean view on the April 2026 Panama Canal, website shows 9A, 9B, and 9C GTY available as of 10:17am on 6/27.
 
Did you like the EB as much as the WB?
I’d be willing to try that except I don’t like the idea of turning clocks forward 4x.
The cruise itself, we liked the EB best, but it was Merrytime, and had a double cast (which meant special character meet & greets like trios) compared to the WB that was still during covid protocols.

Coming from CST, we had trouble adapting to PST, then with the time changes we never really got back on track - went to bed much earlier than on the WB. We still had a wonderful time & would do it again, but definitely prefer WB.
 
His claustrophobia is worse with a balcony? :confused:
I would think the fresh air would be helpful.
I'm so silly, I meant a midship inside! Yikes, I'm at work and my brain is on the fritz lol
I'm hoping OV will open up so we can move from inside. Though it was my TA who booked it so I wonder if something opens up, by the time she gets to it it would be gone again
 
Although I'm pretty bummed about how short the port days are, especially Cartagena. May be a deal breaker. We've never been on the Magic and would like to do so before she's gone, hopefully this PC cruise won't be her last sailing!

JMHO but I wouldn’t lose sleep over Cartagena.
On our 2nd visit, dh seemed to have amnesia regarding our first visit. We experienced such aggressive sales offers to the point that I felt like if they went any further, we’d be mauled. :scared: :headache:
He’s a softy and felt bad that they were just trying to make some money post covid, so he bought their fake Cuban cigars, leather belts, etc.
I would have stayed on the ship on our 2nd PC cruise, but I felt guilty like I was being a party pooper by wanting to stay onboard. After the 2nd time, he admitted he would never return. Our tablemates at dinner agreed.

Everyone has their own taste and opinions so I am just sharing my own. It’s possible other cruisers had a very different experience.

I would definitely NOT miss an opportunity to sail through the PC over time spent in Cartagena.

That's nice of your DH, I would have just kept walking! Lol

Yes, gotta stay focused on the PC crossing, that's the main thing. Like I said on another post, hopefully the Magic will keep sailing and will need to cross back so that there'll be more 2026 options.

We sailed our first PC cruise less than 7 months after the post covid restart. We had to go through all the uploading vaccine info and 48-hour precruise PCR and be swabbed at the port.
The ship sailed at around 40% capacity. We really felt for all the people whose jobs and income depend on travelers spending $. We felt fortunate to be able to keep working (not remotely) throughout the pandemic.
 
I see the WBPC is currently sold out. I’ve been watching it come on and offline all day and am still getting the same message, even when the cruise is on the website showing available room categories. I think I may call DCL to see if there is anything blocking my bookings as I want to be hopeful to book something tonight if rooms start to open again as the holds release. I know Disneys IT can be hit/miss but I am getting so frustrated of seeing the cruise open and repeatedly not being able to even get past the party size screen to even see the rooms! Maybe I’ll get lucky and something will open while I’m on the phone with them..

Can you try a different browser? Maybe instead of using a laptop, use your cell phone?
Or do you think it’s not recognizing you as a CC member?

I tried a whole bunch of things. When I called DCL, he said it was because my phone number hadn’t been validated on my new Castaway Club number- and it appears I was issued a new one when I moved up to Gold. He said he resolved the issue and I shouldn’t get the error again, but I can’t check because the cruise is not currently on the site. Weird because it also happened when I tried my mom’s account, so she may have to call too. Hopefully it’s resolved and I’ll be able to book when/if something opens!
