Upgrading Cabins

[anneeb]

We have a family concierge cabin on the Fantasy. We are 119 days out, have paid in full and booked a cabana and port excursions and there are still 5 family concierge cabins and 9 concierge one bedrooms left. When I attempted to look at current pricing I could not enter more than 3 people, regardless of child vs adult. I could not price any cabin with 4 people. Does this mean the ship is close to capacity, and if so, are the remaining concierge cabins unlikely to sell? We are thinking about upgrading to a 1 bedroom but it is currently $4000 more than our current cabin. If we wait closer to sailing will the price go down, and if so, could we even take advantage of a lower price, or would our upgraded price be the same pricing as when we originally booked? Should we wait and hope for an upgrade at the port? How likely is that to be a possibility, and about how discounted is the room when you upgrade at the port? We are driving ourselves so we can be as early as we need to be at the port.

Universal truths:
1) Death
2) Taxes
3) Disney Cruise Line prices go up over time

Yes, with excess inventory you get Florida / Military specials, Guaranteed rates, and other things. But it is highly unlikely you will see a 1BR concierge cabin standard price drop.

I think that there has been a big response to the offer of 3rd/4th passenger free for Disney+ customers early next year. I looked at booking a cruise for my family during our spring break and there were only rooms showing available if I said 2 passengers; even the cruise didn't show on the filter if I said 4 passengers. So the lifeboats must be hitting projected capacity unless they have lower passenger numbers in the remaining cabins.

You can always check for a port upgrade, but there is no way to tell you exactly what the cost will be. There are other threads where people have talked about how much they have paid in the past.
