2015 sail dates?

[2PrincesseInTow]

Really hoping 7 nt Baltic does an overnight in St. Petersburg. I'd love to do a B2B with Fjords. I just got a brochure in the mail from Regent and they're doing over nights on 7 day cruises..... Thoughts?

 

[JimmyJackJunior]

Yes here

With an announcement Monday, ( latest Tuesday) here is a recap.

We expect only Summer to be released and not the fall at this time.

2015 A PREDICTED SCHEDULE


The following may not be released next week.

September 5th Surprise cruise, Eastern Med maybe Istanbul or Canaries cruise.


Various sources.

Istanbul is a dream destination but my daughter is not going to miss her first week of middle school.

Nothing is for sure until an official announcement but what we have is an educated guess based on port bookings from the collective collaboration of many people.

thank you, that actually clears up a bit for me. fingers crossed for tomorrow.

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Anyone know when the WBTA might be predicted for?

My answer is above.

At a guess I would say a seven night Baltic will not overnight in St Petersburg, it will have a long single day there

Other cruise lines do this,

Istanbul would be nice

Yes.

Curious to know whether there will be 9 night Alaska cruises offered???? Silverfox??? Jodie

So "long" ago, I was told more 9-night cruises. However, the sailing dates only reflect 7-night Alaskan sailings. We inferred that perhaps Sitka would be replacing Ketchikan as a port maybe?

I'm not 100% about that info and will find out for sure with everyone else Tuesday. I'd love a 9-night Alaskan as well, depending in cost of course.

I don't know this abbreviation, but I have also never done this early booking thing. I want to use Disney points. We have only sailed once before, so if it is available next week then I don't know the best procedure. If I use the DCL direct phone number via castaway club will they have the points charts for Disney and can I book that way. OR do I have to call via DVC member services? Any advice appreciated.
Separately - thank you to Disney Fantasy for pointing me this way. Some strange update was happening on DIS this morning and I ended up on a different thread. Not sure how

 

[Silverfox97]

there is a chance of a couple of west coast cruises.

And they will be short west coast cruises if they come to fruition

[Silverfox97]

Any idea of announcement time ? I have to travel on Monday and would hate to be the last to know the new itineraries

My info points to Tues at 9am.

It's like Vegas - what's the line??!?!? Lol! We should start bets. Over or under?!?! Have fun with it!

That sucks if they won't be announcing this "surprise" cruise with the other Med cruises as maybe I would like to do that one instead of the med cruise

Only re-positioning, or will they have short ones that could be combined with a DL stay?

That's actually perfect if they are during the school year. I just hope they are longer than 2 nights.

 

[DahliaRW]

That's actually perfect if they are during the school year. I just hope they are longer than 2 nights.

In the past they have done repos from somewhere in CA to Vancouver, and then later from Vancouver down to CA (last time was SD). They have done a 2 night cruise to nowhere as well. I would be surprised if there were not the 2 repo cruises - one was 4 nights, the other 5.

 

[PnkRockPrincess]

For the love of all things good in this world, I am hoping for a EBTA originating in NYC. We would even cancel our 2015 princess baltics itinerary for that!

I was hoping for more RT west coast cruises. Will see! Ion hoping!

Where are all the leaks!? I thought we would have leaked information all last week!!! The wait is making me crazyyyy!

 

[Goaliemom30]

We just had to phone DCL about something and at the end we asked about the announcement next week and what day. Lorraine wasn't able to tell us so my husband said if I say a day of the week - if you don't answer we will know it will be on that day...

Monday? - is there anything else I can help you with?

Tuesday? - .....long silence

My husband says 'thank you for that' she says 'you are very welcome!'

So Tuesday it is for the announcement.

Should our next step be meeting in a Disney Parking Garage?

Maybe in light of all the port schedule leaks, DCL is taking a "need to know basis only" approach with the TA's. This year more than any other in recent past has had significant leaks at least in regards to European cruises.

Theres a $18 fee for that.

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Maybe in light of all the port schedule leaks, DCL is taking a "need to know basis only" approach with the TA's. This year more than any other in recent past has had significant leaks at least in regards to European cruises.

Over the years they have learnt from mistakes and the normal sources have all dried up, they have managed this one very well with only those who need to know, being informed.

Leaks did get out however but as we see as port schedules are seen there taken down again very quickly.

The DCL webboys have been famous in the past for putting things on site before release, this year I haven't seen that so far and check each day.

One thing I was told in July, yes July last year was DCL will go to far more places and ports than ever before, and they have won better slots of other cruise lines, well we are close to seeing if that is true.
