?s about DVC Cruise points

[Lyndarella]

Not sure if I should ask here or on the Cruise board, but here goes:

1) How far ahead can I book a cruise with points?

2) Will the DCL bus pick us up at OKW and leave us back there? I don't think OKW is mentioned as a "land/sea" resort.

3) Which rooms are hardest to book with points -- those with verandas, or the ones that use the fewest points?

4) About what time does the DCL bus pick people up from the resorts, and deliver people back at the resorts? We try to make use of every WDW minute, and would like to know what else we might do on cruise transportation days.

Thank you for any advice!

1) Cruises may be booked 11 months in advance thru MS.

2) You will have to purchase the transportation separately, but I don't think OKW is one of the pickup locations for the cruise. MS can advise how you'd take advantage of the DCL transportation.

3) Availability will vary depending on which cruise you want- some may already have limited availability even at 11 months because they have been booking with cash for 18 months already. DCL just recently released cruises for 1/06 - 4/06 but no dates later than that have been booked yet.

4) MS can advise of the departure times for the DCL transportation based on your pickup location.

Enjoy!
