Price for length-of-cruise Rainforest pass on a 7-day?

[barney4liz]

DCL won't/can't say what the price is ahead of time, so wondering if anyone has purchased one recently. We are on the 2/14/20 Wonder 7-night Western, if that matters. TIA!

With taxes and automatic gratuity, it should be $239.54 per person for a 7-night cruise.

Thanks for the response! And gosh, that is not much better than the single-day passes. I don't remember a gratuity being tacked on for the Rainforest pass, but it has been a while since our last cruise.

I hope you don’t mind me piggybacking your post OP, but I had the same question about the Rainforest pass on the 4 day. Anybody just back?

The listed prices on a recent navigator for a 4-night were $129 couples or $69 single, plus 18% auto-gratuity.

Not sure where this number came from, but per the December 14, 2019 navigator, it was $229 for couples and $129 for singles base price before the gratuity.

Oh thanks! So that was for a 7-night? That is closer to what I was expecting/hoping.

I based my total on this thread from July 1, 2019 stating prices had almost doubled to $34 a day, per person, before the 18% gratuity.

In the past, though, the length-of-cruise Rainforest passes were not based on the single-day rate. Sure would be nice if DCL could just say what the price is!

Yep, that was the 7 day night pricing. And you're correct: the length of stay works out to less than the day pass because the break even point is usually about halfway through the cruise (i.e., if you go 4 or the 7 nights or more, the length-of-cruise pass is cheaper than the day pass, but if you plan on only going three days or less, you're better of with day passes).

you can only buy these once on ship correct?

Yep

 

[barney4liz]

Yep

Just as an FYI -- I called DCL about the single-day passes that you can buy in advance and whether I could upgrade to a length-of-cruise pass after we are onboard. They said yes. I am probably going to buy a couple of day passes in advance and then consider upgrading when we are there.

This is new if true. Be aware that you could call again and get a totally different answer - many (if not most) of the people working the phones have never been on a Disney cruise and sometimes answer questions like this without really knowing.

The CM did not know the answer and elevated it to a manager. However, I am still prepared for the answer to be incorrect

Sounds good. I have known even the managers to guess. Lol.

I would ask that if you are successful in upgrading the pass onboard (or anyone else for that matter), please let us know the outcome.

Will do! I will try to ask about it even if I decide not to upgrade -- in the interest of research

I just got off of the Dream, and the scrubs were extra, on top of the price to get into the Rain Forest room. Which could be good, if you do not want to purchase a scrub. It used to be a requirement that you purchase a scrub on the Dream and Fantasy. Not sure about the Wonder.

I don't remember having to buy a scrub in the past on the Wonder -- but it has been five years since our last cruise, so that could be a requirement now.
