December 9. I would go in sept (found cheaper prices) but my wifes sister is due for her first kid

If you're not comfortable with last minute booking and it's not much of differences in pricing. Go December.

Christmas: "Very Merrytime Cruises" run from early November through the New Year. During these sailings, passengers can enjoy holiday-themed crafts, Dickens-inspired carolers, holiday storytellers and a tropical deck party. New this year, Disney characters will host Mickey's Tree-Lighting Magic on the first night of the cruise, when the three-deck-tall Christmas tree will be lit. Also new this year is the Winter Wonderland Ball, where passengers can celebrate the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus with a "Frozen" snow-filled surprise.

There are only three Magic 4-night Bahamian cruise during December this year. The price you indicated included insurance is $3550, I'm guessing you're booked for the December 9th sailing. You're paying $132 per person per day for inside staterooms. This is regular price. IMHO, it's a little much to my liking due to it's off season.

If you are flexible about your stateroom location and willing to book “last minute,” usually meaning 21-75 days prior to departure. The savings can be very large, but you won’t know your exact stateroom at booking time. Disney will assign you a stateroom of at least the level guaranteed, possibly as late as the embarkation day. Your assigned stateroom could be in a higher category, but will never be in a lower category. That's generally the best deal for DCL.

Now, not everyone is comfortable with last minute booking, so I agreed with Moki'smommy. Only you can decide it's a good deal for you.

You'll have a great time no matter what!

Happy sailing! :D

I hope this isn't to late, but we did that exact same thing but hired a driver for the day. He took us to Chileno, and stayed until we were ready to leave. He was FABULOUS and since we had a some extra time, he took us to a great place to eat and the glass factory. It was such a great day and I felt so taken care of. If you want his email, I can give it.

 

Hope you have a great time. Chileno was soooo beautiful.

mbmbird, I'd also love the contact info for your driver, please.

Sent you a PM. Thank you!!! :D

How much of a deposit did you leave, I emailed him about private tour he is asking for just a single $5 deposit.

$20 + tax for four people.

Try this email address for him noeltaxi39@live.com

Thanks for the email but I won't bother to try.

This happened few months ago. I sent him six emails, I even tried to contact him through his website. No response at all.

If he wants to refund my deposit. He would've done it already.

Just thought I shared this experience. I don't expect to get my deposit back.

I made a reservation with Noel 6 months ago and paid deposit through paypal.

We had a change of plans, so I had to cancel the reservation 4 months prior the cruise date. I sent Noel several email with no response at all.

Thought I share this experience with you before you decide to pay deposit for his service. Because I never get my money back.

I printed off a PDF map of a self-guided walking tour from this site: http://www.curacao.com/Plan-Your-Trip/Cruisers#.

Thanks!

This is awesome. :)
