Disney in Europe for 2004?

[Dasha]

Rumors are running rampant that Disney is mulling over a major redeployment -- sending either Disney Magic or Disney Wonder to Europe in summer 2004. This speculation rivals, almost anyway, talk about the cruise line's plans to issue an order for a third ship. Alas, spokesman Mark Jaronski pokes a hole in both balloons by downplaying the chatter.

"Are we looking at our options?" he asks in what we figure is a rhetorical question. "Sure. We are considering different itineraries and fleet expansion but have made no decisions and are still emphasizing our three-, four-and seven-day Caribbean cruises." In case we didn't get the point, Jaronski continues, "we'll continue to evaluate options but no decision has been made at this time to alter our plans."

Which is why they are only taking reservations thru April 2004
Usually by now - all of 2004 is open for ressies ...

My boyfriend and I are probably getting married in 2004, and we want to do a Meditteranean cruise for our honeymoon.

I want a Disney cruise!

Well if an announcement is going to be made, it should be shortly. How are they going to explain why they only have up to April 2004 dates available? I'm very anxious to see what develops!

Actually DCL's advance booking window is usually 18 months. I would anticipate they would release more 2004 booking dates sometime in November.

I believe Mark Jaronski, I don't think they've made a decision yet on what they will be doing. :) But I certainly do believe they are looking at many alternatives.
