2015 sail dates?

[jenf22]

Anyone have any idea how the Norway or Baltic price will compare to a 7-night Med or Alaskan? I'd really like to know if it's even going to be an option in 2015. And if it is, I need to get those United cards opened now to try and get enough frequent flyer miles to cover the airfare!

I'm unbelievably excited about the idea of spending my birthday in the Norwegian fjords!!

Well one word "expensive."



If you look at the top of the board for 2014 prices for the Magic for 7 and 12 nights that will give you an idea per cat and per make up of your party.

We have done the Baltics once before (not on DCL) and it was fantastic.

Would you mind telling me whom you sailed on...? I am psyched after looking at these ports, but am fairly certain we are going to have sticker shock.

I guess that is my question - will a 7-night Norway be about what a 7-night Med is (or was on opening day) or will it be crazy-more? I had a Med booked on opening day for summer 2014 and it was under $5K for 2 adults, 1 child in a 7A room. We decided to cancel it and do the Southern instead.

So what are the excursions on Norway and Baltic cruises that children would be excited about?

So I hope this does not mean that they will also NY. That would mean no ship out west. Sorry east coast people but the west has gotta have a ship at some point in the year!

Starting to think about an Alaska nine day to Sitka. Even though we have done Alaska before none of this is very interesting to me. I was really excited about the prospect of Instanbul. Maybe if their are back to back options in the Med. Otherwise maybe we will try Holland America or Celebrity.

Baltic there were so many they had a Princess meet in St Petersburg at St Catherine's palace, which was great, Norway Oslo, Viking museum, the palaces are fantastic, the views great, Copenhagen is a walking town but there is a theme park that the magic kingdom is based on, DCL got early entry.

Note for St Petersburg you can't just get off and go DIY you have to go on a DCL tour, or an official tour operator who gets you a tourist visa.

We loved Tivoli Gardens. Had a blast riding the rides. Although we went on our own and not with the Disney excursion. We saw a lot of DCL cruisers.

Alaska is great I enjoyed it well worth it, they should be back there 2015 and 2016,

Istanbul was an incorrect rumour it seems elsewhere.

Yes easy to get there but. DCL could get you in early to best the crowds.

Wonder is going to Alaska.

I think speculation on East coast USA was incorrect.

Whilst it is unlikely the only " surprise" could be Dream moving off station as it's no longer tied to PC from 2015, but as Fantasy is clearly doing Eastern Caribbean cruises then that's very unlikely.

Yes, early was nice, but the crowds weren't bad anyway. We saved more going on our own. Def will go back if DCL sails the Baltic.

We did the Tivoli tour. It was neat because they opened up for us about an hour early where we had the park to ourselves.

Yes agree, an old fashioned MK seems where Walt got the idea.

Wouldn't it be awesome if the transatlantic went up north with visit to Iceland and British Isles to Copenhagen?

Plus there probably will be a repo from north (copenhagen?) to barcelona.

Dh really wants to do some or Europe (at least London and Sweden and I want to do Coopenahgen). We were going to do 2016, but if there is an eastbound transatlantic to either Dover or Copenhagen, we could move it a year. I've been dying to do a transatlantic cruise since pretty much forever. This could be PERFECT! Ironically, we did not book a dummy cruise during our January sailing, as we thought there is no way we'll sail within 18 months...

Of course if they do the transatlantic like that AND a one way to/from Hawaii, we'll have to choose between....

ETA - IF there is a Frozen themed cruise, I don't know how I could NOT take DD, who is obsessed!

Odd though that there are only 2 dates listed in Norway, and they are both in June. It makes sense that they would alternate Norway and the Baltics (like in your maps), giving people the opportunity to do B2B. But then what happens in July??? The Med is hot as hades in August - seems like they would do Med in June and then up to cooler locations in July/Aug. Oh well - who knows. Guess we'll see soon enough.

We're planning Alaska anyway. Still fun to guess and speculate.

Actually, I would arguably say that norway is at it's finest in june. I allways highly recomend it as the best time to travel here.

Agree they have planned it well, Commodore Tom of DCL knows when to sail in those waters at the best time, Fjords first then Baltic.

Really? Why is that? I have a friend planning a land trip to Norway. I'll have to pass that along to her.
