You will be more dressed up than a good percentage of your fellow passengers. The bar is pretty low on a Disney cruise, and anything more formal than jean shorts for guys and sweat pants with 'juicy' across the rear for women, and you'll be just fine (and quite frankly, you'll see lots of those as well).

Ha, got it, thanks for the response.

As a youngish cruiser I had an on topic question. I dress nice, although this almost always includes black jeans instead of slacks, sports jacket, button up collared solid color shirt, dress boots and rarely a tie. Every cruise I have taken has never had a real solid formal night so I wonder if people just won't get it and think "ah slob in his 30's," thoughts?

Yep, I got a spot and was just waiting to post here. I went through an agent for a cheaper price and it took forever to confirm it worked. Anyhow, excited that this worked out.

Wanted to give an update. I have not seen one, anything open up and have been checking 5 times a day since I opened this thread. Luckily I got on a waiting list for another cruise around this time and already got accepted. Still holding out hope for this one. As the other is Princess and I just have a feeling it wouldn't be as good of a time for me.

I have a sneaking suspicion that they may not be releasing cabins as they come up. Unless people are so excited about this cruise that not one person has cancelled in two weeks. Seems unlikely and if all of a sudden I see a bunch of availability I will make sure to alert you!

hah! I saw that as well. Was going to come here and post the same and suggest if anyone can afford that please buy me one too.

I will for sure and thanks for your time today. I love long ocean voyages so much and look forward to them no matter what I am doing and where I am.

Ah, sorry, what I meant was that I am aware that there are no specials for single travelers at all.

And thanks, that does help a bit. If a non ocean view room opens in the $1700 total range which is obviously wishful thinking, it would be very doable for me.

Seriously, thanks so much. This sort of information and just general bantering are what forums should be.

I will focus on trying to at the least get an idea of what a basic cabin would cost over the next 3 weeks. If that fails or if it is too expensive I will go with my next best option.

I am aware of the single supplement which from what I understand is pretty much not a thing. If I can get a room for under $1800 I would deal with it, anything above, not worth it.

Thank a ton for your response. I guess I had no idea regarding this sort of cruise selling out. The other possibilities on other lines further into October have plenty of availability. I suppose it was just my (bad) assumption regarding Disney specifically. In terms of why this cruise, it's the date and embarkation port that make it perfect for me.

Anyhow, so, I prefer just the basic inner cheaper rooms as I am a solo traveler. Which is what I am looking for. Quite literally, the only class of room open right now is Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah for $2700. This is astronomically higher than what I saw even two months ago when checking. So most definitely, if the other room openings for inner cheaper areas end up coming out to $2500, it certainly wouldn't be worth it either way.

I really appreciate your response, thank you!

edit: oh and terms of getting a TA as opposed to the refresh. What about calling Disney one a day for a week or two and/or checking the site daily. I know this is sort of a ridiculous question but would this show rooms available instantly?

Hello! Had a question about a specific sailing and some strange availability. The cruise is in Mid September, Barcelona to Florida on the Magic. A few months back some great pricing was available and as I have only cruised on NCL Transatlantic (which i love) i didn't pull the trigger.

Anyhow, as the time passed it became quite clear the Disney dates/sailing was my best option. So, sorry for the noob Disney questions but:

1. Is it odd that only a few balcony rooms still say available and everything else (seems) sold out? Specially considering that September 19 is solidly in the school year.

2. If it really is sold out and there isn't some strange issue that I don't understand, should i refresh the page a bunch on the paid in full date to check for drop outs?

Thanks so much!

Thank you! It didn't do that when I booked my last cruise so I became quite confused.

Could it be that the option is blanked out for me because I am currently in the EU? Here are the sailings of the Epic for the next year with all studio options not available.

http://www.ncl.eu/search.php?order_by=best_match&region_id=4&cruise_ship_id=210&number_of_adults=2&number_of_children=0&departure_year_month_day=2014-10-26&to_year_month_day=2015-10-31&vacation_duration=

The studios are only available on the Epic, Breakaway, Getaway and the Escape when it is launched.

 

Maybe you are looking at other ahips?

Have to agree that an Indian specialty spot would be awesome. Second up would be good pizza. I sort of disliked the chinese spot on the Epic, it could easily be replaced by Indian.

The pizza was just dismal considering how easy it is to make even average pizza.

The deli option would be good but the buffet on Epic at least covers this, although you have to do some work to get what you need.

Hello,

After experiencing my first transatlantic NCL cruise in a studio cabin a few months back and loving it I am looking to do it again.

Issue is, I don't see any selections or options for studio cabins on any NCL cruises coming up. Am I doing something wrong or do I not understand something fundamental about the pricing/timing? Did they change the option for transatlantic?

Sorry if this question has been asked over and over.

Thanks!

After lurking this board for months prior to my first Transatlantic cruise on the Epic this is the only question that I cannot find answered.

Thanks
