2015 sail dates?

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

I wasn't going to post on this thread... only lurk until the faithful day that the remaining schedules for 2015 are released. But... I am becoming impatient . Noting I can do about it but post to a thread and wait a little longer... My oldest DD will be graduating high school and has asked for med cruise, specifically Disney if possible. We know that Disney's prices are at a premium compared to other lines, I just really want to know how much of one for a trip like this. I can already see NCL and RCCL itineraries and prices for the time frame we are considering. There is a price point at which Disney will not be affordable and I would really like to nail this down. We are putting money aside, but I just don't know if its enough. This is likely going to be a once in a lifetime experience for all of us. Sorry for my rambling... please continue with you regularly schedule programming.

excuse me for my comments please ignore if you like. I have cruised on NCL and DCL and for me they don't compare. You can justify the extra expense as NCL do not include soda. Also I think the tips are more expensive or they were at the time. The ships aren't as nice IMAO. The hygene not as good. We sailed on The Jade twice and both times they had issues with the rota virus. They let folks just serve themselves picking up foods etc. Also on our med cruise there were a lot of adults on a 'booze cruise'. I personally would not go with them in the med again. We did do NCL in Hawaii and that was better. But I prefer DCL. Hth

I hope. But I find the site is usually down for maintenance around this time. Still, fingers crossed!!!

As of 6:11 AM Eastern, the site is back up, but it's still just showing through April 2015

From what I remember, I don't believe they update the site until two days after the announcement, when itineraries are open to the public for booking. Keeping my eyes peeled for a morning press release!

I hope this isn't off topic too much but is anyone else wondering how they will fill up Baltic cruises especially considering how much more expensive they are? I wonder how full the Magic was on the previous sailings.

Are we thinking all of 2015 will be released, or just several months? I'm looking to book Christmas or NYE on the Wonder if she's still sailing 5 nights.

I'd be willing to bet that they'll release the remainder of the year at the same time as summer.

my thinking too. Anybody got any tips on how to search quickly for double dip CC cruises? Or do you just have to go through month by month?

The schedules should be put on here and on the press release so hopefully you should have plenty of time to look (a day?) before bookings open

 

[Tink1987]

Come on DCL, please please today I really need something good to happen today

I have found no matter how much I refresh the webpage the May 2015 still won't appear. What's with that?

There are lots and LOTS of us little European people waiting for a Baltic cruise - so I don't think anyone should worry about Disney struggling to fill whatever ship they decide to send our way

...Was also told two new ships in the near future with one sailing around the Asia area

That would indeed be major news. Though I would have to think such ships would still be several years from launching. I'm sure someone would have spotted them somewhere if they were already under construction.

I could be wrong but I don't think May 2015 has been up yet.

Haha

I don't know why I find this so curious, the Baltic cruise. I've looked at them as a possibility for maybe 10 years from now but I always think of them as something I'd want to do on Viking or similar.

We're probably going to be doing one of the Med cruises that will most likely happen in August but I wonder if those will be full. It just always seems that the pictures people post don't really look like a huge amount of people compared to my experience on the Magic during spring break.

Oh well. I guess I should stop losing sleep over how Disney will make ends meet if they have an empty stateroom or two. LOL!!! :-D

Pretty sure that poster was just joking that hitting Refresh wasn't triggering any 'magical' new dates to appear, despite willing it to.

Personally I think their problem was that they weren't hitting Refresh hard enough - everyone knows smushing their keyboard always works best, right?

If I recall there were virtually no GTY rate cruises in the Med last year as I remember reading a few people on the UK forums were holding out for them in vain. I know the June Med cruise I did was fully sold out as the sign was out that no upgrades at the port were available.

The Baltic cruises didn't do too well first time Disney tried them, but that was a long time ago now and cruising (and Europe) as a destination just seems to be getting more popular with each passing year. Whether they'd sell out I don't know, but I do think they'll be more popular than last time.

Assuming of course Baltic cruises even happen - right now it's just another rumour
