Special offer for world gratitude day

[PaddingtonStation]

Got an email about this offer, but the prices don’t seem stellar…is the 40% off already applied? The email is addressed to dvc members, but it looks like the discount is open to all?

Same, not impressed because they were already 35% off.

So many dates available they must really be struggling to fill the ships. I think we will take advantage of the offer for the Dec 19th, my 17 wants one last cruise before she turns 18 and can no longer go to the teen clubs.

SO many cruises on sale!

Did they build too many ships?

Are the cruises too expensive?

People not as in love with Disney as they used to be? Last couple movies weren’t very good.

I keep watching the military rates on Treasure. Every week they add a new one. Currently almost every sailing through 6 Dec departure. I'm hoping for 17 Jan EC.

We looked at the sale cruises on the Wish. But decided that $3600 for a week on the Wish is still too much. Not sure I would sail if it was free. We will wait and pay more to sail on the Fantasy in January.

All of the above

I think they have too ships many operating out of the same 2 ports and not enough variation in itineraries for the ships that aren't the Treasure (who has the monopoly on 7 night sailings)

Pretty good deals... we did a FL res rate where we could select our room.... Would have preferred the VGT gamble for an upcoming sailing instead...

The first two plus the economy. I wouldn't know about the last one.

As others have mentioned, the itineraries are getting old. We have only done 5 Disney cruises and know many have done SO many more and even we are not interested in another Bahamas stop. Our issue is the first time we did ours, 10 yrs ago, Concierge was not so out of whack as it is now. Unfortunately, we were spoiled by Concierge and they never offer any type of discount on Concierge even up to the day of sailings when Concierge is WIDE open! (2 TAs also said they have never seen a Concierge discount). Just cannot justify another cruise to the same ports for the current Concierge prices.

I would love to sail concierge... I just can't justify paying twice as much for the same room as downstairs and a couple free drinks....

Exactly how we feel

Same. We would rather cruise twice as much for the same amount of money. We could afford concierge, but choose not to!

We sailed concierge on the wish just to see what it was all about.

We can now say we did it.

For shorter itineraries, the value is absolutely not there unless you absolutely positively 100% your world will end if you don't get it want a cabana.

For longer cruises, given the exponential increase in price, it still isn't there in my opinion.

DW and I did our 2 DCL Dream 1 Bedroom cruises when pricing was MUCH LOWER and worth every $$$. Due to unacceptable price increases we had to abandon DCL Concierge but because of being spoiled we could not abandon our need for the Concierge experience. Fortunately we found another line with more affordable pricing along with a HIGHER Level of the Concierge Experience.

Do you mind sharing what other line you found to be comparable to DCL Concierge? We are looking into NCL but still not sure. As a side when we started cruising my kids were 3 and 5 so Disney was a big plus for us (we are a big Disney family - AP, DVC, live 1+ hr away from WDW). Now they are teens but they still want to do DCL! Have been looking into NCL but just have not been able to pull the trigger. Thanks!

NCL Haven is IMO beyond the DCL Concierge experience. We've never sailed Haven and was ready to book a cruise but too many other MSC Yacht Club cruisers that we have met on our MSC YC cruises have told us that Haven is not what it once was so forget about it. We live Cape Haze Peninsular of FL so pretty much 3 hours from PC, Miami and PE but will ONLY go out of PC.

p.s. - having done Dream Concierge and knowing what DCL has done to improve Concierge on the new ships, the improvements still fall short of the Ship in a Ship Experience of YC and DCL is many thousand$ more.

Maybe they'll have a Happy new years sale and you won't have to pay as much.
