Very uncertain with change in plans

For the 5/1 sailing, the inside and ocean view cabins must have sold better at regular price than the verandah cabins. Since they only released VGT rates. I have seen this before on other cruises we previously booked.

The Fantasy just must be selling better than the other ships - DCL doesn’t seem to need to discount it as much!

I just noticed for the 5/1 sailing they are no longer offering guaranteed rates. That’s crazy and now I’m beginning to think they may not do anything for the 5/6 4 night

I agree, but I think that the chances are extremely low on a 4-night but maybe just a tad higher on the 5-night cruises? But I may have that completely backwards. I don't know. I will be keeping an eye on the early September sailings for sure.

But even if I do end up having to sail the Wish, I believe a 26% off discount is not the best they will offer. But with me picking my own stateroom currently, I would really need a 35% or more off to justify booking a VGT. I currently have 7540 booked on the Wish and I think that the location of it on the ship is ideal. Are the other two Wish class ships having the same amount of disgust this ship has garnered?

We were in the same situation last year with a 5 night on the Magic in September (this year it’s the fantasy). We almost switched to the 4 night wish which went discount. The 5 night Magic never went to discount. I think it had some guarantee rates but nothing impressive, nothing cheaper than what we already had booking early. In my experience the 5 nights are much more popular than the 3/4 nights.

I guess no one can predict what will happen, unfortunately.

I may be backwards on my thoughts then. But, it is a guessing game no doubt.

When they release the GTY rates, not the ones with restrictions, it means they are almost out of that type of cabin?

Yes. And you will receive that level of cabin or
greater. We have booked this a couple of times and always gotten the level of cabin we booked - never an upgrade.

Wow! You are right! The VGT rate was only available for about a week! We may have to book the 4/26 VGT rate to make a B2B with our 5/1 sailing.

I would not blame you at this point. Hard to believe April has discounted rates as I would think that is more of a school holiday than early May. Figure if nothing comes out by the 15th we might make alternate plans
