2015 sail dates?

[sabrecmc]

Also hoping for a Baltic cruise. If the rumored 7 night Baltic out of Copenhagen happens, that would be kind of neat and obviously a bit cheaper than the 12 night. As long as it still hits Russia...Anyway, hoping to have some options to consider very soon!

I hadn't heard 7 nights, but I did hear Baltics. I wish it would be a tad diff from their last Baltic.

Have not seen anything regarding 7 night baltics or using Copenhagen as a starting point. Copenhagen would be cool. Any basis for those rumors?

I wish they'd send a boat over to Bermuda every now and then but realize they probably won't anytime soon.

We're doing the Mediterranean in June or early July of 2015. Looks like it'll have to be on another line, based on rumors. We're a bit sad about that but Disney is pretty limited as far as itineraries go.

Anyone know how popular the Baltics were when they did them before? Were they able to fill up the boat?

Our Baltic sailing was not sold out. I remember hearing that a lot of the crew were able to invite their families.

They will most likely still sail the Med too, at least they did in 2010. The sailed Meds, a transition, Baltic, transition, back to Med.

I don't completely disagree with this, but they've gotten a lot better for 2014. They have options that concentrate on the western med, Venice and Greece, etc.
Where are you wanting to go?

I don't know what the current rumors are for the baltics, but this time last year there were also Baltic rumors based on odd med port schedules dates. Ended up being the Magic was moving over to sail out of Venice mid summer. I do hope the Blatics are a reality this time.

Thanks for the reply! That's really interesting that they were able to invite family members.

We have a window to hit. I'm really hoping they do a 12 night early summer but some folks have speculated that they'll do the Baltics first and them the Med during the last half of summer which would cut us out.

I hope they decide soon!

We want to do the route from Barcelona to Venice during late June early July. Not far fetched as an itinerary but DCL might not be doing that time frame if they're also doing the Baltics.

In the future we'd like to do a British Isles itinerary as well as Australia with New Zealand. We're going to have to branch out at some point.

I do think the Med will be early/late with Baltic in the middle.

Here's hoping!

I certainly agree with that. We're traveling with 3 young kids so DCL is ideal, but after 2 meds and 1 this summer, I'm looking for something very different in 2015.

It was originally posted on the cruise critic board by a member who had heard it from, I want to say it was the Captain or Cruise Director...someone pretty high up that would probably know.

ETA: Here's the post I was remembering. Sounds a bit like a friend of a friend telephone game, but it would kind of make sense. I think the shorter Med cruises did better.

In August on my blog for Alaska I posted some rumours I had heard for 2015, on the a wonder many staff confirmed that the Wonder will go back to Alaska for 2015 as well as 2014' and would dry dock after the 2015 season after getting an extension permit, as its refit will make it go long for Panama Canal. Now I also heard from at least three sources that the senior staff on the zmAgic are telling cruisers that they are going to the Baltic again in 2015. Now I first heard this rumour in July when instead of saying they are going to the Med in 2015' they said there going to Europe, which was interesting. My thoughts were firmed up a bit more when a friend on the magic quoting the captain said DCL will go yo the Baltic from Copenhsgen in summer 2015 He was told not to post that on a particular DCL cruise forum. Now another person has posted on WDW magic they also have been told by the CD Peter that the Magic is going to the Baltic in 2015. I have heard Harwich UK And Dover mentioned. PS dream and fantasy as usual. Fantasy might cover the eastern Caribbean more with San Juan and Tortola and the zmAgic cover western Caribbean cruises in the winter , popular southern Caribbean cruises will be back. Now this is all rumour and I didn't post anything bar on my own blog last month as it is rumour and things can and do change, we were told cruises will come out in December, the first week but one poster has said in two weeks time, I think that's wring but you never know.

We did the DCL from Dover in 2010. The one place I really wishes we had more
time was in Copenhagan, so I'm hoping they depart from there (if they go at all). Plus Dover was a bit of a drive from London. Either way it was a really cool itinerary. Hope they throw in a couple of different ports. The only other issue with the Baltic is the Magic was only in St Petersburg for 1.5 days rather than the typical 2 full days like most ships. The extra time would have been nice.

Just off the Fantasy . . . Future Cruise Desk rep said Alaska in 2015 for Wonder and Europe for Magic. Sorry - didn't get any details on Europe since we are focusing on Alaska. He did say that he anticipates some longer Alaska sailings, similar to the 9 night they are doing in May of this year. Bookings open up in March he said.

Anyone hear anything new about the remaining dates and itineraries of 2015 over the last couple of weeks?

We are doing a Norway Fjords cruise on RCCL in May, and it departs from Copenhagen. We are flying in a day ahead, but I'm wondering what you would have done there if you had more time.

I'm anxiously awaiting 2015 info on Europe and Southern Caribbean. I have one of the October dates booked for Southern Caribbean this year, but I might change it if they offer the itinerary at a time that's a bit more convenient with kids.

I am hoping for the Baltic as well. European Northern Capitals I have one child hoping for the Turkey and Greece cruises to come back. I have another child hoping for Hawaiian cruise.

I doubt Hawaiian is coming back. However, I was losing hope for my 1st choice. The telephone post gave me renewed hope for the Baltic.
