2015 sail dates?

[Bear3412]

YAY! March!

Don't count on it. IMO.

 

[Ptwolfman]

Oh. With my luck, it'll be April 12-19 as I will be on vacation

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

I know, Disney totally stalks these boards! It's interesting it was removed, though. With all the recent discoveries, it seemed like we were close to a release (like March 4th). But, if Disney is still feeling the need to erase their trail, it might signal we are a ways off from any announcements.

All it needs is one person who reads this to call DCL -and ask them, they will say where they got that information from, they can't employ people just to read all the posts all the time.

 

[heatherbelle]

Yep. Later than that even.

They will come out in March tho.

So it looks like they will be out after everyone else has released theirs. Princess start next week and Celeb the week after. Lots of ships sailing the Med/Baltics next year.

I hope that makes Disney a little more realistic on the pricing then! In 2010 rates for an inside started at $3649! I know things usually go up over time but there was a LOT of sticker shock on those cruises. A 12 night med this year started at $2388. I know the Baltics are expensive but $1261 difference seems an awful lot of difference.

I can't say how we know, but I can 100% firmly say that the DO read the blog (and back when I used to listen to the Podcast, Pete knew they read the DIS boards). It's not one person at Disney specifically; several people check. They do not wait for one person to call (although that happens too).

I can say it implicitly without a shadow of a doubt.

Oh they will be $$$$$. I'd love to do the Fjords, but Scott has his heart on Alaska......

Are the release dates typically on Tuesdays? Where did the potential March 4th come from?

Yes. Generally, itineraries are announced on Tuesday, gold and platinum members can book on Wednesday, and then bookings open to the general public on Thursday. Disney can throw a curveball at us, but that is the expected timeframe.

Us too! What month are you planning to go? I looked at a few Norwegian fjords videos. The scenery is gorgeous! But, when I look at pictures of the Tracy Arm day on the Wonder, it blows me away. Plus flights will be so much cheaper versus flying to Europe. I think we're firm on Alaska. Still not sure whether it will be RCCL or DCL. Maybe we'll see you there!

I hope you choose DCL and the Wonder! The Outlook has floor to ceiling glass windows so you can enjoy the beauty of Alaska with your latte!! Everyone is on deck 10 on Tracy Arm day, even Koda and Kenai and Mickey in his yellow slicker and Minnie in her fur parka and Donald in his red plaid lumberjack shirt!!! We have done Alaska twice and just loved it, Aloha, Karen and Ron

I second that. We have been told by many CM's at land and at sea that they read the boards frequently to get a sense of what people are talking about. What better place than here.

Yeah Jodie!! Perfect advice Just kidding but I do agree with COASTIEandMATE as you know!

Cmon DCL - some of us are going to be "certifiable" soon, very soon!

What someone else said earlier is very true, this is most likely a marketing strategy. While it could be that they're finalizing up schedules and little details, I think they're just trying to build up the hype. Since it sounds like the dates will be released in mid to late March, that means we will have been waiting since the second week of February, about 5 weeks or so. All that waiting period just makes us more anxious and excited for the release dates. Once the dates are released, it's more likely that people will jump on bookings than wait and compare prices with other lines.

I am booked on the Magic in April of this year. I am a gold castaway cay member. If I book a cruise on opening day for 2015 to Norway or Alaska can I rebook it on the cruise in April to get the discount?

 

[Jerseymomof2]

That is normally the case with Disney over the Summer. The Magic goes to Europe and the Wonder to Alaska.

Darn! I was really hoping that the Magic would come back to NYC like it did in 2012

We haven't cruised the Wonder since Outlook was added. I've read reports that its difficult to see from there because people can stand outside and block your view. Did you have any problems with that? Curious to see whether DCL adds more 9 night itineraries. Crossing my fingers that prices aren't nuts!
