2015 sail dates?

[DISNEY FANTASY]

I'm waiting for Fall 2015 dates too. I have a question though. We're sailing this October. If I book a cruise on opening day, but the 10% off is actually a better deal can I book onboard and cancel the first one I booked when I get home? I would think it would be cheaper opening day but I'm not sure?

If I read you correctly, book on opening day, go on ship, if cheaper on the cruise cancel and get deposit back, can't do for concierge.

YES! It might be cheaper on board. The fall rates (depending on the cruise) do not jump as fast as the spring break and summer cruises. I would definitely reshop on board to see if the 10% is a better deal.

As Disney Fantasy said, as long as it isn't concierge. No 10% discount is given on board for concierge.

Sorry I actually meant if the ship went to Helsinki not Tallinn. From the UK I can fly to Helsinki cheaply on frequent services, not so much to Tallinn. I am excited to see Tallinn exactly for the reasons you described so much so that I would consider not booking a DCL cruise I have been praying for and going with another line if they didn't go to Tallinn

Gotcha it's the city we talk about the most when people ask us what are most unexpected travel "discovery" was so I was curious about why some people weren't too keen on it.

To echo others St. Petersberg did make us more on edge. I would love to go again, and we saw some amazing things (plus being born during the Cold War it's kinda cool to say you've gone to Russia now- I'm a dork though) but is wasn't as welcoming and we did really have to mind the pickpockets.

Thank you guys! We definitely can't afford concierge so not a problem.

So for those of us who will be sailing from the eastcoast next summer, looks like we will only have the larger ships to choose from.

That is normally the case with Disney over the Summer. The Magic goes to Europe and the Wonder to Alaska.

Looks like someone is not happy with the folks in Geirangerfjord.
The Magic is no longer listed, but has been replaced with a ship called "TBC". strange name for a ship

Same thing happened when Honolulu recently listed the Wonder! I think someone said a while back that Disney does not read these boards, but this just proves they do!

A TBC that can carry 2,834 people to be exact. Wonder what it could be?

On a side note, how long until the words Disney Magic disappear from that port schedule to be replaced with something not quite so descriptive?

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already!

They do not read these boards that often, it will take someone viewing here to call them.

I know, Disney totally stalks these boards! It's interesting it was removed, though. With all the recent discoveries, it seemed like we were close to a release (like March 4th). But, if Disney is still feeling the need to erase their trail, it might signal we are a ways off from any announcements.

TBC - To Be Confirmed?

I have a theory about DCL release dates.

Over the last 10 years that I have cruised with DCL, they opened bookings for new sailings without any announcement. This creates a buying frenzy, especially for any new itineraries. For example, the day the first Panama Canal cruises went on sale, the prices went up as I was on hold with my TA. I happily booked, thinking I got a better deal than those after me.

By contrast, many other cruise lines announce their release dates in advance. That enables one to research itineraries and compare prices.

For Disney cruises, there is so much pent up demand that many people -- myself included -- book right away without regard for price. DCL is a master at this, and from a business standpoint, I applaud them.

Are the release dates typically on Tuesdays? Where did the potential March 4th come from?

Dose anybody know what the Magic and Wonder will be doing next Fall?

Just to confirm it was on cruise critic, and then here by me and then another forum. Wasn't there when we discussed it last night.

He doesn't troll internet sites. He prides himself on posting facts that can be backed up. He'd rather be accurate than first, which gives him credibility. He has and gets a ton of information, but often never posts it. He never ever ever ever copies anyone.

Please just stop commenting about him. I know you don't like us or the blog so just ignore us and comments made about us.

DCL definitely reads the boards and Scott's blog - we have proof I love it when they take the ships off of the port calendars

The release will be later than March 4th.
