Last year we got an offer from DVC when they needed to fill cruise ships and the cash prices were really reasonable. Too bad we couldn't go. That is the only way I would ever use DVC for a cruise .... to purchase a cash reservation with a DVC discount.

Those prices were more then reasonable, they were fantastic. The only downside is they were offered after the final payment was due. The cruises were pretty much last minute, with about 2.5-2 months out from sailing.

There has not been another offer like it since.

Isn't the far better value to rent your DVC points out for $10-11/point and use part of those proceeds to pay for the cruise?

You will probably have enough extra money to pay for all the side trips and excursions.

It is far better to rent out your points. Daddio's DVC rental service will pay you $11 per point and do the work for you.

Some people do not want to bother with being a renter and just want use their points for a cruise. If so, they should look at the combination of using points and cash.

What is the cash and points option? When I called last year, the DVC person told me you could do points for one person in the room and cash for the other. Is there another way?

cash vs points

it is better to rent dvc points and pay cash for the cruise .
11.25 per point too many points per person per cruise rent the points and pay cash tou will have money left over if you take into account of points needed per person and multiply by 11.25
the cost is a lot higher than the cash price.
Site is dvc points rental reliable theY rent the points for 13.00 per point.
