September 4th, 2023 - 4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral (Nassau, Castaway Cay) ~DVC Member's Cruise~

Has anyone who bought a placeholder on board received a receipt regarding that transaction ? Maybe we made a mistake since we have not received an email about the charge from our credit card.

Has there ever been a Member Cruise during the Christmas season? Is there a thread on Disboards that compiles every single Member Cruise?

The four that we have been on (2009, 2011, 2014 & 2023) have sailed in either August or September. I believe most (if not all) of the 4-night member cruises out of Port Canaveral have been in the Aug to Sept time frame. Christmas sailings out of PC are peak season for DCL and I don't think DCL would necessarily want to charter out an entire ship when they would likely make more $$ by booking direct.

On the FB group for the cruise, some have and others haven't. You might want to give DCL a call to see if they have record of it. If they don't, they should let you place on by phone.

Thank you for mentioning this. We will give DCL a call.

@erionm , thank you so much for mentioning that we could call. There was no record, and they did let us book one. We will be using it for a Treasure’s cruise. Booking tomorrow!!

I have received my onboard booking confirmation email. I booked it early in the cruise, second day, and got the email later that same day.

We tried to book one early, well apparently it didn’t go through. Definitely will be more careful next time. It did work out.

Not sure if it might help in the future, but I always screen shot the Order Processing message it is done, and then check back for the Order Confirmed message which I also screen shot. That way I have something to show I placed the order in the event there are any questions or concerns after I am off the ship. And, if I never get the Order Confirmed message within a few hours/a day, I can ask someone on the ship or try it again if needed.

Tour dates for the Disney Princess Concert are out. This was the show we had on day 2 (Nassau). Pre-sales are available with promo code PRINCESSTOUR and ticket go on-sale to general public tomorrow (9/29).

NOTE: when the show tours next year, only three Princesses will appear, and it happens to be three of the four we saw on-board (Susan Egan is not touring with the show next year). Adam Levy who was the Prince on-board is also currently scheduled to be with the tour next year.

For anyone here that's interest in the 2025 DVC Charter on the Treasure, the Cash/Point rates have been released.

https://cdn2.parksmedia.wdprapps.disney.com/media/dvc/catalog/resorts/cruise/2025TreasureCharter.pdf

For the Treasure Charter, at least one person must be paid for using points. Also, this cruise is not a Member Cruise so no special entertainment nor any special gifts (unless DCL does something for the inaugural sailings).

I am hoping for a DVC MC on the Treasure in 2025.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Is there an interest here from anyone who would like the cards we got on the DVC MC? I would mail them to you.

Everything else we got has a home! I just don’t know anyone who is interested in these.

cards are gone!

Today we hung up our BEST SOUVENIR!
