Question about DCL discounts for DVC owners

[DannysMom]

So I got an email that DCL is once again offering DVC members a discount on a Sept cruise. Not sure of the date, maybe 9/14?

So, I'm not planning on cruising anytime soon, but the email prompted a question. I only own resale points. So I know that I cannot cruise on points, nor can I go on the "Member Cruise" even if I want to pay cash for it. But when DCL offers a discount, do I, as a resale owner qualify for it? I would think I should, as it would be booked direct with DCL, with no involvement from MS. Anybody know for sure?

Yes. There is no fine print that excludes any type of purchaser (direct or resale).

The discount is for cash bookings only. You will find that Disney can change the restrictions when they need to fill a ship.

I would even test those waters and try using points. I wonder if the ships continue with low occupancy if even that rule gets relaxed.

Does this mean we can't book for friends/family? It seems a member has to be present

It's a member and travel party perk, not a friends/family perk. There is a VGT (Guaranteed Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah) rate for the same cruise.

Can you prove that please . Cause seems like a significant discount compared to the cruise I took a few years ago .

How do you get on a list for the email deals? I never get them. I am a member and have registered on all the sites...

You have to sign into the member site and add your email to the list . I did it a while ago so I don't have specifics but you have to request it on the member site

Sorry...should have clarified...i was comparing a cruise for 2 people in a deluxe veranda is $3k vs. $2k with this deal. I used two people because they offer said $945 per person assuming double occupancy. 33% discount is a great deal
