Nothing is being tossed to AP holders here in CALIFORNIA. The tipping point on price happens for a very few. It hasn't happened yet for my family yet. Maybe one day. We pay for DCL because they are the only one for us at the moment.Nobody is arguing that DCL should be giving their cruises away at rock bottom prices. The problem is that they are raising their prices faster than the competition. They did this to the WDW parks & resorts and now they are crashing and burning. Resort bookings are down and park attendance is down. The extras they are throwing at AP holders right now is awesome, but that's because they are hurting for attendance and want us spending money at their restaurants and stores. I adore DCL, but I did not book anything for this release. I'll go back to RCCL which I enjoy just as much.
I'm honestly afraid to try some of the other cruise lines as we have become accustomed to DCL. I though am a deplorable. So...
