Yipee! Got a quote from DCL directly for 05-27-06

[dzneprincess]

with 2 stops at CC! I got 2 connecting 10's secret portholes! YES. 2 adults 4 kids total=5503.68 . Hopefully I can get it even lower thru Dana at www.micdan.com or when I rebook aboard in November! Anyone else care to post their price?

 

[dzneprincess]

PS the depo was the same $250 pp....I guess that change hasnt taken effect yet?

 

[Verandah Man]

Just got off the phone with DCL, we are also booked for the 5-27-06 sailing. I will be checking the price and onboard credit when we sail in January just to see which will be the better deal, but as of now, we are booked.

Two adults in a cat. 9 the price I was quoted is 2419.56

 

[dzneprincess]

Allright Andy! We will be sailing together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be celebrating my 31st bday aboard! As well as my 14th anniversary!!!!!!!! Angelina won't be joining you and HazeL?

 

[ericamanda01]

Well with this group heading up the front then I may have to convience DH that we should go with all of you!

 

[dzneprincess]

Come on girl! It will be like old times! LOL DH just popped home for a quick break, he was in the neighborhood...........I broke the news to him. He took it better than I thought! LOL He said to go ahead and pay the depo!!!! I normally like off season sailing, BUT 2006 my oldest will be going into 6th grade, it will be his 1st year in middle school, and I do not want to disrupt, what will already be a tough transitional time. SO heres hoping that Dana can get me a better price, AND that I can even beat THAT by rebooking next month!

I went ahead and booked Hazel and I to at least get a rate. Angelina isn't sure if she wants to cruise again or not, so we have also been working on smaller vacations with her wishes in mind, but Hazel and I enjoy the cruising, as it has a lot less walking involved then the parks!!!

Ok...I called to get a quote for the 5/27 - 6/3/06 and for a Cat. 9 for 4 people it was $3815.12, so I put a hold on it and hopefully I can scrape the deposit together by Monday! I called DH and told him that's what I wanted for our 10 year anniversary (6/1/06), which we could celebrate during the cruise , he said OK!!

Booked today as well, tried for the secret portholes and they were gone (rats). Got a cat. 10 (deck 7) for Disney's price of $3,499.12. Costco will go down to 3,221.12. Waiting for a quote from Dreams.

If anyone decides to cancel their portholes, please let me know.

Thanks,

Pam

Smart thinking. It is scary to think how old my children will be at that time! LOL It was weird saying that my oldest would be in 6th grade middle school.....wowo What will I do when they dont want to go anymore? hmmm..................go alone?

 

[dzneprincess]

AAhhhh....I love Dana at www.micdan.com . she just saved me almost $400 bucks...plus there is the possibility of more savings for ebooking onboard........

 

[ladypoo]

Am waiting to hear back from the TA now. Looks like We may be joining the cruise too...

 

[dzneprincess]

That would be great ladypoo! A 2nd cruise together! Maybe this time we could actually meet! I have already started a thread over on the cruise meets board

 

[Verandah Man]

I kind of laid it on rather thick and convinced Angelina to sail with us. My mom will be turning 70 in March 2006, so I told Angelina we would like to take my mom on another cruise to celebrate #70. With eyes rolling up in her teenage head, she said O.K. I'll go. Kids today!!! When I was growing up, I can only remember us taking two family vacations and they were both to Wildwood, NJ about a two hour drive from our home.

Now I have to call and have two more added to our cabin.

 

[Verandah Man]

Just got off the phone with DCL and added my mom and Angelina to our ressie. Four adults in a cat. 9 is 3899.12 for 5-27-06.

I'm still waiting for a quote from Dreams....... I am now wondering if I should have just booked this on my own. Then I would know that the price wouldn't have been driven higher by people doing multiple bookings with different agencies. I will be quite upset if my quote ends up coming in high, and I don't get the catagory I requested. I hope I will get to join all of you!

Hi Robin,

That's why I booked and paid the deposit today with DCL. I remember what last May was like. Besides, I figured by the time we cruise again in January, the prices could sky rocket.

Andy

 

[moocow35]

Andy, you always have the words of wisdom! Your friends are blessed to have you.

Now for the good news......even though patience is a virtue, I have none. So, I went online to DCL and pretended to make a reservation. There are still CAT 7 rooms on deck 7. Okay, so far so good. Now, the question is has Dreams made my booking yet??? So, old miss impatient me calls the Castaway Club line to find out if I have a reservation.

Whoo Hooo I do, I guess Dreams is still back logged in sending out the quotes!!!!!!!!!!! But they have me in at CAT 7, deck 7!!! Now, I can hardly wait to see the pricing. Online tonight it is do-able, hopefully Dreams got in early enough for something lower.



Andy, thanks for your support, I do very well remember the May repositioning fiasco trying to get a booking! Looks like we will end up sailing together after all. Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Robin

Robin, I hope Dreams came thru fir you and got you something lower than what the DCL site shows. I does stink. That is the main reason I hopped on this, this am. I remember the mess with the repo cruises and how quickly the prices went up and up. Are you trying for the 05-27-06 cruise also?

PS I am so tired of having periods of not being able to access the DIS, is no one else having this trouble?
