Alright, I know it's still early for me but I've been tracking the fares for our Spring Break '09 Disney cruise since the rates were released and I am getting a little panicked.
It's showing at just under $500 per person if we leave Thursday April 9th in the evening, and departing Orlando on the 18th. We have to leave later on the 18th because we have to allow time to get off the boat and back to MCO. If we were able to leave first thing in the morning it would take $150 off the price but that's impossible cause we'll be departing the boat.
Oh gosh, I hate to even SAY this but there is NO way I can afford to pay nearly $1,000 just to FLY to Orlando!
There is just NO WAY, this Spring Break cruise is already costing an arm & a leg because well... it's Spring Break & considered a "holiday cruise." If we SERIOUSLY can't find airfare at $300 or less I may have to considering cancelling the cruise. $1,000 to fly from Newark to Orlando is just ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!
Do you think the rates would drop after summer? I just don't see any foreseeable 'drops' in airfares coming up. I mean my gosh, if the airlines are 'supposedly' struggling b/c of fuel prices I DOUBT they will drop the airfares significantly enough to make a big difference for customers wallets.
If I have to cancel our first Disney Cruise I think I'll be devastated.
