Placeholder Discount Increased to 30% Off Select Sailings

[DCL58]

Its not something to play with. No doubt. No shade on the adult sundeck? Is that the norm?

That’s the way DCL designed the adult only areas on these class of ships. Not at all like the adult only area on deck 13 of the Fantasy and Dream.

The new discount saved us a little over $1,200 so I will take it. I know this thread is older and newer but agree with others. It seems like a large market, even out of Port Canaveral to fill multiple boats basically doing the same itinerary week after week. We booked this past DCL with the 40% deal otherwise it would have been 2026 before we sailed again.

I knew that the adult area sucked on the Wish, therefore I booked the Fantasy, but I didn't realize and probably still don't realize all the cut backs.

I don't think it's a cut back. They just designed it that way.

Ya, its just a different design, but the differences are just such a negative to myself. But one hot tub (for the regular folk) is most definitely a cut back there.

The Dream and the Fantasy only have a single non up charged hot tub (it has two sections\sides but it is the same hot tub). The disappointment in the one for the Wish class is the location

Wow! Are you saying they just gave you money back on a sailing you were already booked on that you used a placeholder to book and you didn't even need to contact DCL to get the money back??

Yes

OK. I'm confused. They only have one hot tub for most people on the Dream, Fantasy? Then why were people surprised that the Wish only had one? Just one on any of the ships (for the regular folk) sounds bad. When we sailed previously on the Wonder and Dream we had children, and didn't get to experience much at all of the adult offerings. This cruise will be different. We are all adults now! I feel like I still have a lot to learn!

I think its the location that upset most adult. It is a smaller hot tub and near the Aqua Mouse speakers and does not have the ocean view that the one on the Dream and Fantasy have.

At one point the Dream had a family hot tub but that was replaced during the dry dock to a kiddie pool like the Fantasy had

The cost of the rainforest room is also much higher on the Wish class as well and that also factors into things

Interesting. I don't plan on the RR because they won't sell anything but a length of cruise pass. But even a single day pass at what, $80 is not worth such to me.

Is This the February 2027 one ? We booked that itinerary on the Dream. Was really good price with the placeholder and a unique for DCL ( at least unique to DCL recently )

Yes! I was literally on board our Treasure cruise when the itineraries dropped, and that cruise aligns with our February break.

Assuming the cruise is the end of April and not around Easter I would keep an eye out for Restricted Fare discounts (if you are okay with letting DCL assign your room). I think chances are highly likely they will be happening.

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep an eye out. My family doesn't mind if DCL assigns our room.

Thanks for posting this. Super useful and neat to study!!

Is there a general time frame here lately that they release the GP discounts? I know it used to mostly be after the PIF date, but now?
