Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repositioning Repossession Cruise

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Oh no... I was hoping that with the June/July dates that meant the repos wouldn't be during school but I guess that was probably just too good to be true. We definitely can't go on repos, even without the kids, during school time. *sigh*.........
Why do they always do that? Do you think they are HOPING for less children during that time? Don't you think maybe they make more money when families fill up those rooms instead of like 2 people to a room (ie: without kids)? I guess not.. for some reason they like to do repos right when kids are in school.

it would of been nice if they had the repos the same time as they did in 07 and 08. but with dcl they might figure they will take a lose maybe on the repos but they will have more europe cruises which they get more money for by the day.also more people go on excurions which they get extra money.
i counted four 12 night cruises four 11 night four 10 night, one 8 night,and 1 7 night cruise. it also would of been nice if dcl divided up the good cruises lets say 2009 we go to the baltic , and than 2010 we go back to the med. but no there is no good cruises in 2009.

Any idea which ports may be included with the 8 night repo?

Thanks Mike

I don't know what to do. At first I was thinking of doing just the Med. Now I'm looking at the short repo, then the Med.

One thought is this is practice (logistics wise) for what the Magic will do come 2011.... two months here, two months there, etc.

i was thinking about doing the baltic and than the short repo until i looked at the air prices will be. it will be almost double. example roundtrip from phl to heathrow was 1169. one way from phl to heathrow 989. than i would need from barcelona to philadelphia, which i didnt look up but is probaly close to1,000. so each person will be around 2,000 dollars instead of 1169. these are dummy dates for 2009 that i looked up. but if you got it go for it.

thanks it worked out great. put in some dummy dates and came up with a price of 1183. both ways nonstop. that was from philly to heathrow. than from barcelona to philly. now my plans change again. i wanted to do the baltic than the repo back to port canaveral than the new rumors came out.
a 12 night cruise by itself is a little short. but adding 7 or 8 nights to it will be a good cruise.

bumping us up. had to look for us on page 2

 

[AndyR]

Just under two weeks before they announce the real dates. I hope they change the WB repo dates so that we can go while DD is on summer vacation.

[got2travel]

I agree Andy. I really want to do a repo again, but April and September won't work.

Maybe they leaked the info just to get our reaction on different months??

I'd rather roll the money into a little pile to buy another income property (a small one - or add to buy a larger one). Aside from that - (ahem)... I would almost rather do another slightly different carribean cruise with Disney ... because the exchange rates don't really make this any kind of bargain or smart deal... unfortunately.

However, you watch. My 2 BILs and my FIL just might say ... OK, let's do it. THen I'll be mumbling < note the grumpy cheapskate facial expressions > that we'd be happy to go too!

At any rate, I do say to any who embrace these opportunities - that they should make for memorable and near irresistable voyages! I tip my hat with cheerful respect to all ready now to go!

Having said al that... let me add:

.... here's SOMETHING FER NUTTIN'....

http://microsite.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/admission.html
​

FREE Admission to any one of a 100+ museums nationwide good only TOMORROW - Saturday. If ya manage to make use of this please post a little something as I'd be curious how much we all end up saving collectively. I'd be impressed if somehow this all amounted to over $100 or $200. I'm going to save $24 by visiting the Regan Library before our 1st AYSO soccer game ... then maybe afterwards I'm considering another visit to another near by museum I've never visited. Gotta double check the closing times though ... ok... it seems I can only (maybe) visit the MONA in LA... that's the Museum of NEON Art as it closes at 7PM... however it is not all that close. They close at 7PM and we might drive down - visit a bit then catch dinner in town? Well - after 2 soccer games I think we might pass and only see the Regan Library in the AM.

So I'll start by declaring we're saving $24 with this deal... http://microsite.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/admission.html

Otherwise ... may I wish you all a...

Wonderful weekend!​
