2015 sail dates?

[pandanasbearz]

Does anyone know when they will release the test of the sale dates for 2015??

Oh I wish

I have not had time to follow that discussion.

Plan A

Repo Vancouver to La
LA round trip Hawaii
Panama crossing.

Or

Plan B

Vancouver >> Hawaii.
Hawaii >> Via Non USA port to San Deago.
Panama a Crossing.

I go for A

The repo from Hawaii would have to end in Mexico or Canada, as there needs to be a distant foreign port stop when going from one US port to another.

There could be two one-ways between Vancouver and Honolulu, followed by a Vancouver to LA repo.

If DCL goes to Hawaii, I think it will be via two one-ways rather than a roundtrip from CA.

Speculation is official announcement Monday 23rd, with Platinum and Gold can book Tuesday and Wednesday and general release the Thursday.

Do Plat/ Gold get to book early for all cruises? For some reason I thought they only did that for special itineraries. This will be our first time as gold, so that would be great to get in early.

So for ease of reference and from everyone input so far, so anyone joining can read in one post.

I do like the sound of the EBTA... Copenhagen was never on my radar so I better start looking just in case..

Yes that's what it says............

We shall see, they say for new itinaries, but that's going to be Magic only, but guess they will have two days for G and P to book first.

Monday is the 24th but yes, that's the proposed release date (or the 25th; they like Tuesdays sometimes lol).

I go for A

I admit I am hopeless re how long it takes to get to places

I assume if A Vancouver to LA would take week then hawaii cruise would be two weeks??

My dh has always wanted to do hawaii, would be a nice surprise birthday present if could afford

Roundtrip we've done a 14 day and a 15 day, I've also seen 18 day roundtrip cruises. It takes approx 5 days to get to the islands, so if they do one ways it will have to be longer than 7 days. Maybe a 10 day one-way from Vancouver, so there are some port days. I'm hoping for another roundtrip. I'd love to do a BTB on one-ways but 20 days might be too long and expensive for me.

 

[NancyIL]

We may have meant the same thing. However, I understood your comment to mean a one-way could sail from Hawaii to San Diego with a stop in a foreign port - and it can't. The cruise would have to end in Ensenada, and people would have to be bussed to San Diego. For that reason, I think 2 one-ways between Vancouver and Hawaii plus a Vancouver to LA or SD repo is more likely if DCL chooses not to do a roundtrip Hawaii cruise from CA.

This bites for those of us who want to go to the Med for the first time. Why not one 12-night at the beginning instead of a 5-night and a 7-night??

I was pricing this years hotel and transfers for 2 person in barcelona I was told $399 per night plus $180 for transfer. Just to get an idea. Booking that part on my own.

Whoa, DCL sure inflates those prices! We had a great hotel and paid under $200/ night. We used Suntransfers from the airport and a taxi to the port (which was just at the end of our road - para-lel).

Great info. Is that for transfers both ways? To and from the ship?

Airfare is what's killing me on this.

 

[CaliforniaGirl09]

Airfare is what's killing me on this.

That's why we ended up canceling out Venice Med Cruise in July. I had a daily kayak alert for 11 months, and it was at $1700 pp all year except for a couple days two or three weeks ago where it temporarily dropped to $1300 (with 2 stops though). By that time we'd already decided to wait until next year because of the possibility of Baltic/Iceland/Norway.

 

[CruznLexi]

Airport to hotel and hotel to ship based on WBTA. We will be driving to either Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta or Miami to catch a flight to BCN. All 5-10 hours away from home to get a great deal for the WBTA. One way Miami is around $700. From North florida close to $2200 or 1700 a piece for r/t.

I am confused. They can't just do a stop in Ensenada? What is the rule exactly?

 

[LeslieG]

Anyone found any dates or ports for southern caribbean?

 

[NancyIL]

A cruise between 2 different US ports has to make a DISTANT foreign port stop, and Mexico doesn't qualify as distant. A roundtrip cruise from a US port needs only to make a foreign port stop. That's why the RT cruises to Hawaii from LA stopped in Ensenada, Mexico.
