2015 sail dates?

[ThereYouSeeHer]

Too funny--I just got a reminder email from my travel agent today that I need to move it or lose it by the 6th. We were signed up for the Venice 9-nt cruise, but decided to hold out for the Baltics in 2015 or the ABD Norway (assuming they bring it back). I was hoping that DCL would release by our PIF, but I can't hold out much longer before moving to an interim dummy.

Our PIF is on the 2nd. If that date was past next Tuesday, I would have waited, but I can't imagine they'll release itineraries by Sunday. I never would have imagined it would take this long, but as it is, I feel better knowing we went ahead and moved the date.

With the Conde Nast and Cruise Critic reviews out, I gotta think they will release dates any day now. Otherwise, they're missing a big marketing opportunity.

However, I do know that the Magic is scheduled to dock in Dover. I can't really say how I know and I haven't been given the dates, but it is on good authority that things are being finalised with regards transport and people movement.

Interesting. I would think a 7 day Baltic would be difficult sailing out of Dover. Getting over to St. Petersburg would be quite a stretch if not impossible and that port is usually the major selling point for people booking a Baltic.

While I enjoyed sailing out of Dover in 2010, I'm hoping they're using Copenhagen as a home port this time. It was a great port and I'd love to spend more time there.

I was thinking this too. My guess would be that they will do Dover on a 10 night Baltics schedule - then a 7 night Fjords and 7 nights Baltics with C'hagen as a home port? Then repo to Barca?

I am just worried that there will be no Baltics. I know we have found alternate weeks on the Fjords port calendar but to have found NO Baltic port calendar info is worrying me

Just release already DCL puhlease!

Amazing what ports will tell you if you just ask.....Disney Magic is currently booked into The Port of Dover for the 10th July, 22nd July and the 3rd August....over to Andrew to work out the rest lol looks like at least two twelve night Baltic cruises and then probably onto Barcelona on the 3rd at a guess.

Did you just call and ask? Well done.

So this should mean the Norway cruises go from Copenhagen or Oslo before it moves to Dover. August 3rd has to be repo as it was due to Civitavecchia for the 13th if I remember right.

Brilliant

Just wondering if she will sail straight to civitavecchia instead of barcelona, as there is only 10 nights between Dover and Rome 13th Aug. The next date on the civit calendar was 18th so maybe a shorter cruise before it settles to 7 nighters.

Is there a thread for opening day prices for years past

That is an excellent question! Anyone keep stats on that?

You are a genuis and my new best friend. Thank you so much for this!!

I don't think we have a port link yet, there is nothing public for dover then. It seems that someone at Dover is giving info out.

 

[fitnessmouse]

Can anyone tell me what the itinerary was the last time they sailed from Dover to Barcelona?

Edit to say I found the answer:
DAY 1 DOVER (for London)
DAY 2 Cherbourg
DAY 3 At sea
DAY 4 Vigo
DAY 5 Lisbon
DAY 6 Cadiz/Seville
DAY 7 Gibraltar
DAY 8 At sea
DAY 9 BARCELONA

 

[Celestine]

Yes, you will not see it on the Port of Dover website, they only show upto a year in advance. My dh called the media dept and was transferred internally, as he was a little huh hum...with his questioning lol I am sure that Disney do this as a sort of pre cruise booking game for us loyal lemmings

OMG, I did a search and found prices from 2010: "Rates for the 12-night Northern European Capitals itinerary start at $3,649 per person for a category 11 stateroom."

 

[lbgraves]

They are linked in the FAQ thread, stuck at the top of the board, and the 2015 rates are linked in my signature.

I remember it being bad and something that I could never pay. But repos are usually cheaper and there may be 7 nights from Copenhagen or wherever the other port is. Would be interested in the cruise that gets the ship to Dover.

I really hope they release them soon, we just really want to move our dummy cruise and start the planning!
