2015 sail dates?

[oklamomof4boys]

I'm guessing they are going to be released sometime between March 13-20 because that is when I will be at Disneyland and I won't want to take the time to transfer our dummy dates- lol

Ha....see and I think it's the next week as I will be at Disneyworld

One flaw in the 18 month theory. If I were cruising today, I couldn't book 18 months out. So DCL would need to release the 18th month every month to make that work. Right now, people can only book 14 months out

True, but you can still move a dummy up until 18 months out. So, if you are on a cruise right now and book you'd still be okay. This way Disney ticks off the fewest number of people.

I am eager to hear about 2015 as well, but I think we have all been grasping at any rumor and whispering and taking it as fact - as far as I know we have never been told a release date officially by anyone who actually has the authority to announce. We know what has historically been done, what some travel agents have said, what someone who works at the booking desk on board has said, etc. I don't think we will know a release date until it actually happens, and anyone who says they know is most likely spitballin' just like us.

As we have become quite certain there are Disney folks following our boards, maybe they will hear our mutterings and frustrations building as we begin to shop other lines and someone will say, "We will really need to get those dates out. The loyal cruisers are discussing other lines." And tada...an announcement will get made. A girl can dream, right?!?

Just wondering how much can you really save on a 7 night Fantasy cruise by booking on the first day the cruise dates are released?

I know that really depends on allot of factors.

but just trying to get a rough idea

Same logic here so I'm predicting March 9-16. However, my travel agent will be out of town on Feb 28-March 8 so that would be a really bad time as well...so either are equally possible.

I couldn't stand it any more and I booked on RCL.... The more I look at it, the more I am going to keep my RCL cruise, I am actually more excited by it now than the prospect of the Dream!

I'm about one chocolate melting cake and $3,300 Grand Suite email away from giving up and booking Carnival!

Potentially a lot. I don't know about a 7-night cruise since we haven't booked one yet, but our 4-night on the Magic last month went up $1000 when I checked out the price about 6 months before sailing. Our 5-night on the Dream in 2012 went up by more than $3000 as we got closer to our sail date. (We are a family of 5).

It really depends on the popularity of the cruise. Cruises like the Hawaii one's a few years back sold out in just a matter of days I believe. I am looking a NYE cruise on either Fantasy or an older ship (if it offers a 7 night option). Those are very popular cruises because of school breaks, etc. They can go fast, and as the ship fills the price goes up.

Can anyone help with a question I have. This is probably really obvious, but looking back at this post showing release dates... Some members on the DIS will likely be gold and platinum members, are they able to post on here once they know the dates? Maybe they have to keep it secret?

There are no secrets on the Dis!!! They let us know almost right away.

 

[dsnydaddy]

The TA's usually know a little in advance, then send out their emails to those they know are holding dummy dates. Usually that all happens in quick succession. The results are known on the DIS that day. So, you'll hear about the release on Monday. On Tuesday the Gold and Platinum's are able to book then open booking on Wednesday. It'll happen that fast.

Go to cruisefish.net, click on search, then Disney cruise line, then fantasy, then the 2014 equivalent of the cruise you are looking for. If you hover over the room category you are interested it, it will show you the opening price as well as any price increases. This will give you an idea about historical price increases.

I've been getting onto cruise fish for several weeks and just looked at the page and couldn't figure out for the life of me how to look up price changes. I just accidentally hovered the day before last and finally figured it out! Doh! *slapsforehead*

I booked on opening day for a March Fantasy cruise for 2A and 2C in a 5D for about $5300. The last time I checked that date and category it was about $8600. It just went to VGT for something in the mid $6000 I think. Besides the fact that it is over $1000 more even on VGT, we wouldn't be able to get air for four for anything reasonable if we had waited for the VGT.

Well I'm ready. I'll book the Baltics regardless of price & new ports. Son said he's not interested in sailing other lines at this point. So come on Disney.... Take my money!!!!

Sad to report that it doesn't look very likely.
I was just on the Dream, and asked every CM that I encountered.
They all shook their heads and expressed disappointment.
Many mentioned the Baltic.
Bummer. Really really wanted NYC for 2015.
Would love to be surprised though...

I am sorry for the NYC fans, but couldn't be happier about the idea of the Baltic!!!!!

Would be SO happy if all of the Baltics rumors turn out to be true. We'd book in a heartbeat!

Anyone else waiting with baited breath for the dates for this cruise? DH would really like to go next year, and Disney only does one of these a year, as it is a repositioning cruise. Sigh. We really need to know the dates, if nothing else, so that we can plan the rest of our trip, as we will by flying to Florida and staying with a friend for up to a week and he has other people that want to visit him near that time frame that we think it will be. I hope they announce something soon.

I booked my EBPC cruise opening day for about $3200 (~$2900 after 10% on board booking. 2A in an 11b). And now the same sells for $3900.
