We are on the Fantasy Sailing 8-24 Eastern this year and paid $5550 for the four of us in a 4E. A $2000 price increase for the same time frame for the Western next year and $3000 for the Eastern a week earlier - that's just nuts!
Yes, Fantasy. All pricing 2/A 3/C
Cat. 11 is a standard inside with one bathroom. Cat. 10 is the deluxe inside with split baths.I need to get more familiar with my categories. I think our price would be cheaper for the inside deluxe stateroom (category 11, I think?)
Yep...truly indicative of psychosis on Disney's part! We paid less for the 12 night Norway, Iceland and Scotland this summer than people cruising fewer nights to Alaska and the southern Caribbean! Really??I just got a quote on cat 5a for two people for the 10 night meditteranean cruise from my travel agent.
The total was $12,456.14 ($6,090 per person, plus a total of $276.14 for taxes, fees, and port expenses).
We are paying about $3,000 each for same category for 6/29/2016 7 night Norwegian Fjords cruise.
Cost per night, per person
6/29/2016 Norway - about $425-$430
7/28/2017 Meditteranean - about $620-$625
Percentage increase: about 45%.
Conclusion: I'll have to pass.
I feel very fortunate to have experienced DCL in Europe before these 2016 and now 2017 skyrocketing prices. These 2017 prices are simply outrageous; so RC and Carnival here we come.
Exactly. For me and my son to do the 6/28 out of Dover.. It would put our travel expenses over $30k. There is too much else out there that can be done while spending $10k less.I'm able to pay Disney's prices, but I'm unwilling to pay a big premium to sail with them. I'm glad I already booked my 2017 Hawaii and Alaska cruises on Royal Caribbean.
