Dream Weaver
Or should I say Fantasy Weaver...while waiting for this hip joint to heal (rest doesn't help and moving doesn't help, anti-inflammatories take about 10% of the edge off, but not sure if it's worth it) I am going to keep track of the IGT/OGT/VGT on upcoming Fantasy sailings..curious how the rates change. I will track 2 adults in a room and 1 child in the room (that third rate varies sometimes) First price is adult rate, second price is third traveler rate (child)

9B GTY (Jan 31) $1365/$896 (interesting that OGty opened up within ten days, no Inside or Verandah showing availability)
Current Pricing for our cruise:
IGty: (2 rooms) $4254 $3336 (total $7590)
OGTy: (May 9th) 8C opened up for $6336 None showing for May 16th yet...
VGTy: 4D $7156 1/24 went up to $7296 but likely bc it's only showing 4B
Going to track April cruises to see how GTY pricing fluctuates once GT rates come out:
April 11th (2 adults 2 children..just listing one price so you'll double these)
Inside 11C $1470 $994 GT came out around day 73 for this cruise.
Ocean 9B $1540 $994
Verandah 7A $1624 $994
Verandah 4E $1834 $994
Verandah 4D $1862 $994
Interestingly 4/18 & 4/25 showing prices for 4D at $1995/$896..so $100 up for first two and $100 down for next two...guess they're trying to make more off rooms that only hold 2? Interesting to follow the changes
May 16 showing $1547/$798 for inside right now...hope some deals come out to help our case..still checking on OGty for all five of us but none have popped up, VGTy still sitting at $7000...for a 4D
Interesting to note the April 25th Fantasy cruise has inside for $1295 and $896 close to same rate of the initial VGT offering for the March cruise.
Sadly, and not sure if it's a pattern, but all these first GTs are all for Fantasy B itinerary, none so far for C..which is what we have to stick with due to dates. Update: Itinerary C opened up about 30 days out for February...so those may just take a little longer, and showing for April as well
at the 60 day mark
I am trying very hard to protect the savings we have for this trip, just found out one of our HVAC units exploded (luckily no fire resulted!) but all wires were melded and black...will cost 5k to replace it, it's for our upstairs, so Grumpy moved his home office to Tall Man's bedroom (that still is easy to cool/warm with plug in unit)...why spend 5k to heat 1200 sq. feet if you're only using 50 sq. feet...we're hoping in a few years to get rid of all traditional units and move towards the Mitsubishi systems...only use what rooms you're in..still refusing to go to doctor...just the one visit to tell me to 'take it easy' and do 'physical therapy' would run over 1k (tests and all) and with practically no insurance...it's not worth it. Just taking an awful long time to heal with joint issue than it does with muscle spasms...
Eating stunk this past weekend (traveling) trying to get back with it before my weigh date on the 31
