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.
