2015 sail dates?

[ThereYouSeeHer]

Well, I just cancelled our 2014 cruise in the hopes a cruise pans out for us when they release the remaining 2015 itineraries. I didn't want to let go of our 2014 cruise until we knew for sure, but our PIF date is too close and we needed to move on. So, it's sitting on a dummy date for now. Oh, well. Come on, Disney!

Too funny--I just got a reminder email from my travel agent today that I need to move it or lose it by the 6th. We were signed up for the Venice 9-nt cruise, but decided to hold out for the Baltics in 2015 or the ABD Norway (assuming they bring it back). I was hoping that DCL would release by our PIF, but I can't hold out much longer before moving to an interim dummy.

Funny. I just moved my 9 day greek cruise yesterday to a dummy date. Hope the dates come out soon.

After all this wonder and speculation (and frustration) about DCL waiting to release dates, I wonder if it has to do with the new 18 mo OBB policy. They would wait to be able to release and have people book the whole summer season within that window of 18 mos out. My guess is that it will be in two weeks to cover summer in Europe. Make sense to anyone else?

I hope hope hope this latest evidence and speculation around the Norwegian fjords and Baltics turns out to be true! How awesome would a B2B of Norwegian fjords and Baltics be? How even more awesome to add on the Norrway ABD? May have to take a leave of absence from work, LOL. Now I am off to play the lottery. . .

YES. We want to do the 2015 WBPC as a family of five, and want to book on opening day for best prices. I also have a 10% off coupon that must be used by March 12. So I am anxiously hoping the dates are released soon. I really want to get the planning stage started and also get an idea of the budget we will need.

I agree - we need to be able to budget, so the sooner the better for those dates to be released. Plus, I love to plan plan plan

Odd though that there are only 2 dates listed in Norway, and they are both in June. It makes sense that they would alternate Norway and the Baltics (like in your maps), giving people the opportunity to do B2B. But then what happens in July??? The Med is hot as hades in August - seems like they would do Med in June and then up to cooler locations in July/Aug. Oh well - who knows. Guess we'll see soon enough.

We're planning Alaska anyway. Still fun to guess and speculate.

In Southern Europe, at least, people take their vacations in August, especially around the 15th. That is when mom and pop shops close in the center of the countries and everyone heads for the coasts. I presume Disney fills the ships better in August.

Since it's Disney, how expensive would it be?!

Wouldn't it be awesome if the transatlantic went up north with visit to Iceland and British Isles to Copenhagen?

Plus there probably will be a repo from north (copenhagen?) to barcelona.

oh yes! I live near London so we could join in from the UK

 

[Tink1987]

Yeah, we are also booked on RC for the Fjords this May, from Southampton, UK. If I had known about DCL we might have waited.

Hey Dee we have done the Fjords with P&O from Southampton in June - let me know if you want any further info - hope you and hubby are OK

 

[Tink1987]

I'm wondering if there will be no Baltics if evidence cannot be found?? I have done Norwegian Fjords already a couple of years ago I wonder if it was supposed to be Baltics until Disney realised how successful Frozen was and changed it and that's why the announcement is late?? So upset if there won't be Baltics

 

[ShellB8585]

As these are 2 weeks apart i’m hoping for rotation 7 night Baltic, 7 night Fjords… that would make for a fantastic B2B c’mon DCL get those dates out!!!

Hi

Just popped into this thread to say that we are waiting for a Baltics too, our PIF for Venice is looming and I need to switch to something, as we won a holiday which clashes with our Magic trip this year. I was hoping to avoid booking a dummy, but looks like DCL are taking their time.

However, I do know that the Magic is scheduled to dock in Dover. I can't really say how I know and I haven't been given the dates, but it is on good authority that things are being finalised with regards transport and people movement.

We have done the Baltics once before (not on DCL) and it was fantastic.

Oh, I hope. My sister lives in East Sussex, and if we depart from there she will definitely come on the cruise with us. If there is a Copenhagen departure she may back out.

I would be beyond ecstatic if DCL heads to Norway and it sails from Dover again as I'm in London.

disneycruiseline.com is currently undergoing maintenance. fingers crossed!!!! although it is likely just maintenance but I SO hope they are adding dates!

 

[Holly Quinlan]

Is there a thread for opening day prices for years past

Ok, keeping an eye on this one as my hubby lived in Norway several years growing up and wants to return. We will have a 9 and 6 year old son in 2015. What is so special about cruising the fjords? (I personally find warm sun and sand blissful!) Is there anything for the young ones in port or is it just dragging them around on a history lesson? Those that have sailed in this baltic or Norway itinerary on other lines, I would love to hear from you, esp regarding any experiences with school age children. TIA

If it's a disney cruise you can guarantee they find excursions to suit kids. Most of the Europe ports of call have tours which include special youth activities. It's not so much a history lesson but beautiful scenery in Norway. Until we know what other ports are included its hard to start researching. But remember you can always leave the kids in the clubs on some days and go out alone. Weather wise we did Norway in May and had 2 days of sunbathing, which was unexpected and appreciated. The weather is very changeable and 2/3 seasons can be seen in a day.
