2015 sail dates?

[Parkerpirates]

My TA said today that the Christmas 2015 cruises probably won't be released with the rest of the itineraries. Does this sound right?

Mine told me the same thing about Thanksgiving week today, also.

We are hoping the Magic comes back to NYC for the Summer of 2015.

Did your TA explain why?

Hmmm . . . that doesn't sound right to me. I looked back to see when I booked our New Years Fantasy 12/28/13 trip, and it was on 1/24/12. I vaguely remember a delayed Dec 2014 release. I'm sure one of the mods would have exact dates. Anyone remember?

Edited: Found previous release dates on page 32 of this thread.

For many years the itineraries were basically the same so all the rates were released in the Fall. As DCL explored newer ports of call they broke up the releases so that those familiar ports were released in the Fall, as they always have been.

The newer ports that required additional time, planning, contract signing were pushed off until the Spring time. If an itinerary is not part of the regular release the only reason I can think of is that they plan on going someplace different.

Just my two cents...

i am too!!

Nope. I was wondering if that was a normal thing, or if it's new. Or maybe she was just preparing me just in case, so I wouldn't be disappointed? I dunno.

It was Beth from DU and she just said DCL doesn't normally release Christmas dates with the rest so there was a chance they won't come out in the next weeks. I'm a noobie to DCL so I don't know any difference. That's why I asked.

I was hoping the same thing! Is there any chance of this?

Sad to report that it doesn't look very likely.
I was just on the Dream, and asked every CM that I encountered.
They all shook their heads and expressed disappointment.
Many mentioned the Baltic.
Bummer. Really really wanted NYC for 2015.
Would love to be surprised though...

I am sorry for the NYC fans, but couldn't be happier about the idea of the Baltic!!!!!

I don't think their is a normal for Disney anymore. Each of the last few years has been different, including what was released already this year.

I would bet it will not be released based on two things. First, Disney said you can only book the 10% discount 18 months in advanced, so I doubt they will have cruises that can be booked, further than 18 months in advance.

Second, one of their top competitors (Royal Caribbean) is starting to release more of 2015, but it is just the summer and early fall (no holidays yet). I suspect Disney will do something similar since they are starting to follow a pattern more similar to RCCL.

I'm thinking the upper limit for the next set of dates will be April. Are we to the point where WDW can be booked farther out than DCL? So weird.

 

[Holly Quinlan]

at what time of day do they release the new info?

 

[ThereYouSeeHer]

at what time of day do they release the new info?

Generally in the morning. If we haven't heard by noon tomorrow, it looks like it will be in March.

I wonder if DCL was waiting for WDW to sneak in their ticket price increases this past weekend before making their own announcement? Now, anyone booking a package along with their cruise will be paying higher prices for WDW, and potentially DCL as well!
