2015 sail dates?

[disdel]

Who knows. But I've never heard of a cruise ship overnighting with passengers in a destination (last) port, and Disney has not done it at the end port for any prior TA. Doesn't mean it hasn't been done by someone else, though. My gut is time off for some staff and ample time to stock the ship for the European cruises. I also wonder, if it's true that some of these cruises might be "Frozen" themed, that the time might be used to put up related decorations, etc.

Sorry, Dahlia, you're mistaken. As others posted - we were on the MAGIC EBTA in 2010 - arrived in Barcelona and overnighted - had a full day to explore Barcelona, then back on ship before having to move to a hotel for extra night before flights home.


(OOPS, apologies, these posts were kind of off-topic - this thread is getting soooo frustrating, so I guess we're all wandering. Oh look, a chicken . . . . . . . . . )

Cool! I missed that when looking up past itineraries. That would make the trip even better!

 

[HookedOnDCL1]

Just had a thought. I wonder if the Panama Canal cruise (which I am waiting for) will stop in Tortola? That would be cool!

UGH Disney is killing me! I have been waiting to book our 2014 disney trip unitl the 2015 cruise schedule comes out.

I cannot afford to do both so we will skip going to WDW in 2014 if there is a 2015 cruise we like.

The airfare has gone up over $30 a ticket while I am waiting for them to release the 2015 cruise dates.

I find myself checking the Disney Cruise site 2-3 times a day to see if they released them.

Come on Disney you killing me!!!!

I am right there with you! I know it's a long wait once the cruise is booked, but ready to get this countdown rolling!!

The wait is killing me. We were going to do Alaska next year, since it's my DH 40th and it's the last state he hasn't been to. Then I caught wind of the fjord cruises and all bets are off, esp with the Icelandic cruise in the mix. UGH!

So when the dates are released will Costco be able to book right away too or will I have to book with Disney then transfer to Costco? I wasn't sure if there is a delay on opening day.

On the Gold/Platinum release day (before fares are released on DCL's website), Costco had to call DCL in order to book for me. Costco didn't even realize the itineraries were available. I had to tell them to call. I'm guessing that the following day, once fares were online for all to book, Costco had them in their system as well. Please note though that Costco's phones don't open until 10am Eastern, whereas DCL releases rates at 8:00 (I think, or is it 9:00??).

If you had to guess the price of a 7 nights cruise from Copenhagen for 2015 per a person what would you say around Norway etc

Just to give me a rough idea of what to expect say for an ocean view room on deck 2 say ?

June 5-12, 2015
Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Star
Ports of Call: Copenhagen, Denmark;
Alesund, Norway;
Geiranger, Norway;
Flam, Norway;
Bergen, Norway;
Copenhagen, Denmark

Pricing From:
Inside $999 per person
Oceanview $1,149 per person

I would expect Disney to be twice that ???? at least 1.5x???

 

[Garyjames220]

I mean if I could get two cruises with ncl or 1 with disney for the same price really makes you wonder hmmm

I'd say 3x...if not more. I can't imagine the balconies below 3kpp.

Price of a WBTA can someone give me a rough estimate of a WBTA in a 9c or a 7a for 2. Just want to make sure I am in the ballpark of prices. Years past will be great or even this year. Thanks

I will be in this situation on opening day as Gold. I have a reservation I transferred to Costco and one of the few negatives (there aren't many I promise) is they don't open until 10am EST. I will call DCL at 8am EST when they open to price out Alaska, Med and perhaps a summer Eastern Fantasy for 2015 and then decide what we are going to do. As long as the prices are reasonable (LOL ) I will go ahead and book with DCL with the understanding that I will then have to re-shop when I'm on the Fantasy next month (as long as not a black out date) so I can get my 10% and $200 OBC. Then I'll have an idea what to do when Costco opens and call them at 10am EST and move the one I have with as well as a back up for my DS and end of school and weather days or just leave as a "dummy" for now.

I'm trying to keep this all straight - ha ha!

I agree with you! I sincerely hope they aren't too outrageous (or not as outrageous as we anticipate) so those of you can book it as so many of you are excited!

I know - its wacky! I'll do the same - call DCL at 8:00 to get prices and decide what we're doing. Then I'll call Costco at 10:00 so they can move my dummy booking. I really hope there aren't too many black out dates. Unfortunately, the week that probably works the best for us is over July 4th, and we pretty much know that will be blacked out. Anxiously waiting!

Anxiously waiting here too! Please please please everyone who gets to call opening day, update the thread with costs! I will be watching it like a hawk with my silver brethren!

I agree as well. We went to the Baltics & St Petersburg on RCI in 2010, the same season as the Magic. The DCL price was 3x the RCI price (2A, OV cabin).

I am prepared to pay about 15k for the Baltics and maybe 10k for the Iceland cruise for 3 people with a Verandah. 12 night July 10th and June 29th Repo..

I really hope it doesn't get to 20k because I would like to book Hawaii for me and all three kids. I think that will be expensive as well. So between the three, those will be all the vacations I hope to be taking in 2015.
