There is a double dip to CC and Lighthouse!

Verandah starts at 11k for a family of 4. I won't be on that one!

Yup too rich for my blood

I'd normally book that Preview or Fantasy in a heartbeat, but after what we went through with the Wish maiden I may stick with giving it a couple months to finish construction first.

This might be a dumb question but why is there a preview and inaugural cruise? I know they do this for new ships so is it the same idea? To have a dry run?

I would bet money on it, yes. Especially since they have said it will have "limited access to some areas." SOME areas. LIMITED ACCESS to SOME areas.

I will commence shouting that quote as often as I can so folks are not caught unawares.

I only read an article and not the full media release. Thanks.

There’s also a 10 night southern on the fantasy that goes to both castaway and lighthouse point! Looks amazing but priced accordingly.

That one has totally peaked my interest!

We were on the 9/19 of the Wish and I spent the whole time worrying about it. The captain was so awesome though and he kept us in great weather the whole time.

It was actually fine @OpieDoodle!

This makes me feel better! Surprising our youngest on the Magic this Sept (15-18) and somehow spaced the hurricane season being a factor because we were focused on the birthday.

Sailing out of NY Oct 31 … hoping the season is over by then.

Hurricane season peaks from late August to early October. So you should be good by Halloween. September seems to be the month with the most issues.

We are sailing Sept 15-18 too … but out of Miami to the Bahamas. Keeping fingers crossed for that one too!

Well, I booked one of these (ocean view b/c verandah was $$$), but have my doubts that we will actually be able to sail given my college kids summer schedules. Here’s hoping.

is this sailing off the list (fully booked) now? I can’t seem to find it on the website anymore.

It will probably pop off and on going forward as initial holds expire and people don't do their initial payments AND as people change their plans. Then again at the PIF date, it might come back.

Thanks. Man I wish I remembered to check a couple days ago. Doh!

 

[AquaDame]

I plan on checking tonight when the initial 3 day hold expires. Im happy enough with the room I chose but might see a better one...

I booked one of these today, the one in late July (5 nights out of Ft. Lauderdale). It’ll be our first cruise and we are excited!

The 5 night out of Fort Lauderdale? I see it on the DCL website with some availability.

WOO HOO! My mom, husband, son, and I are booked for the mid July 5 night to both islands! So excited!

The 7 night inaugural is currently sold out, but as holds get released from non payment of the deposit there may be availability later tonight/through the weekend.

Man, that 10-night Southern Caribbean looks great! It sails from PC (usually I've seen the Southerns sail from San Juan, which I'm not opposed to but adds extra logistics), it's on the Fantasy (my favorite ship!), and I've always wanted to see the Southern Caribbean islands. The only downside is the price, lol.

Agreed but we couldn't justify the $$$
So we comprised and booked a 7 night on the Fantasy Eastern Caribbean in April & the 4 night Disney Magic w/ Lighthouse Point stop in later Sept.

Came out over $3,500 cheaper for the two sailings vs the 10 night sailing. I can live with that even though St. Lucia is still a bucket list place for me.
