Some examples of rates that we got yesterday on the phone. We haven't booked anything yet.
March 6-13 (I think those were the dates):
AKL, pool view: $3,527.56
POFQ garden view: $1,945.92
May 7-14:
AKL pool view: $3,087.34
POFQ garden view: $1,869.52
December 4-11
AKL pool view: $3,657.70
POFQ garden view: $2,090.02
For comparison purposes, we're staying at POFQ this coming December 5 thru 13 (so that's 8 nights, not 7) with an AP discount: $2,953.29. That's about $369/night (averaged, incl taxes). The bounceback for next December averages out to $298.57/night. We're talking a HUGE difference here, and next year's rack rates must be higher.
Next comparison: We stayed at AKL pool view May 3-10 this year. The total bill for 7 nights was $3,390, averaging out to $484/night. The bounceback for a similar stay in 2024 for 7 nights is $3,087, which averages out to $441/night, $43/night less. Not as impressive as the FQ discount, but the FQ AP discount for 2023 is weak.
Thought these might be helpful. I'm wondering what the 2024 AP discounts will be like, because we'll switch if they're better, but right now the bounceback is looking awesome.
