Since they are now building new ships that are 50% bigger, Just wait until those are done, and then go on the original ones! The price will be lowered and there wont be as many people. I'm not sure when the ships will be done.

Do you really think they will lower the price? I dont personally. I think the larger ships will be used for transatlantic crossings and also from Disneyland to Disneyworld through the Panama Canal since they are widening it and its almost complete now. They had to build more ships since almost all the cruises are booked solid. At least the one we went on last year was in June. I will let you know about the next one next week.

The new ships are going to be out of Port Canveral for several years under a contract with the port. This was required to get the port to do some work like make the channel deeper to bring in the new boats and extend the length of the dock.

Thanks 10 Min.
I found the news release on this and just posted it in this Forum.

Usually the exact opposite occurs. Because the boats are smaller and have less economy of scale they usually have to charge more. Plus most cruise lines make the smaller boat run the longer more expensive cruises.
