2015 sail dates?

[Tink1987]

I booked online for my Fantasy Feb 2015 cruise, and I could select specific stateroom and dining preference ahead of time. When I found out there was an issue with my room (outer skin room described on these threads), I was easily able to switch staterooms when booking online. Your can even search for a specific stateroom number since you already know which room you want...

Thanks so much I didn't know that

When you book online can you select a certain room? Or can you do it if you phone Disney to book or use am agent?

If the Baltics is announced we want the same room that we had on the Magic for the EBTA in 2013 as it was the perfect location for us

Yes you can select your state room online, or call Disney, or call a TA. As long as its not already been booked, you can request your cabin.

Just a quick clarification, just in case . If you are Gold or Platinum and are booking on opening day, you can't book online and must call DCL or your TA if DCL allows Gold and Platinum to book a day ahead. The following day once they are released to Silver and the public, yes you can book online.

I am Gold and will have to call first thing but like many others I'll be happy to share later on the boards what I was quoted so others have an idea.

I'm going to be on the Fantasy for the 2/22 cruise. If the summer 2015 cruises haven't been released yet, should I just book something in the future, and then I'll be able to transfer it to the 2015 summer on release day?

Yes, if they haven't released 2015 summer dates before your cruise, definitely book something while you are onboard. Then, once they release those 2015 itineraries, just call and transfer the dates!

However, note that onboard booking policies recently changed. Once you book onboard, you have 18 months from booking to complete your travel, or you lose those onboard discounts. So, if you booked during your February cruise, you would need to complete your next cruise by August 2015 (exact dates would be based on your booking date, if done onboard).

I am just off to the Wonder today. While onboard I did an OBB which I plan to switch once Alaska 2015 is released. Of course I asked when they expected the itineraries to be out for the rest of 2015 and I was told "everyone is anxiously waiting. We expect it to be sometime next month. ". So from what I was told I was left with the impression that the itineraries will not be out before mid-March.

Very interesting. Thanks for the word on the street!

I did that for our Alaska cruise. I booked it when it came out, then while onboard in April, re-priced it and switched to OBB. My TA told me to do this, they even kept my same room number.

Of course with the new OBB restrictions and blackouts, it may depend on your cruise.

Thanks so much!!!!

Rep at DCL told us this AM end of March or early April-said that without our asking.

Yikes! That would be awful if it were that late. Disney should have ensured itineraries are always available at least 18-months out before implementing the new policy. It won't cut down on dummy dates if cruisers don't have all available itineraries within the new window. Wonder what the hold-up is...

And Disney tell us the Magic Kingdom opens at 9.00am.

I really wanted to book while on board for summer 2015 and they still haven't released them.... hurry it up DCL!!

 

[calimom951]

Does anyone know what date they released the summer of 2014 last year? Have we past that date?

Yes, we are past that date. It was February 12th last year.

 

[kittylady1972]

Add me to the still waiting impatiently list. We need to move a Jan 2015 cruise out to June or July 2015 if possible.

 

[COASTIEandMATE]

Yes, we are past that date. It was February 12th last year.

Also waiting for the dates to be released Can't wait!!

 

[Tink1987]

Really hoping it is this week. I always think though if we get past Tuesday and there's nothing - then not to expect it the rest of the week!
