Thanks everyone for all your opinions, I decided to let the hold expire and not re-book. After this months experience on the Dream, I decided to wait till I can do a 7 night cruise on the Fantasy before booking another short cruise. They have such a busy schedule of events on
DCL that it's impossible to truly enjoy it on the shorter cruises and I always felt rushed to try to make the next thing...but still never got around to doing all that I wanted to do.
But don't feel sorry for me just yet, I have lots of cruises booked in the meantime on other lines that won't break my piggy bank. Hopefully 2019 will the year I can do DCL Fantasy.
