2015 sail dates?

[CaliforniaGirl09]

Does anyone know the price of the 2010 Baltic cruises?

If you look back about 10-20 pages (i.e. a few days ago) in this thread someone was nice enough to post the original pricing chart for the 2010 Baltic cruises.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that disboards keeps the old first day pricing thread around for more than a couple years (I wanted to compare 2010 Baltic to 2011 Med opening prices). Anyway, from everything I've heard, the Baltics started out noticeably more expensive. The economy was bad, the ships didn't fill, and I think they did quite a bit of discounting. I don't think the 2010 prices will be much help at all to predict 2015. I'd look at the past couple years of Med prices in the opening day threads, look for your preferred room category in a 7,9 or 12 night and go up from there 5-10% (maybe more?). That's what I did, and after the heart attack, I'm reconsidering room categories

I understand that the Magic will most likely travel transatlantic from NY (?) to Copenhagen in May of 2015. Does anyone have any idea when this cruise will take place and/or what ports will be involved along the way. I am anxious, like many of you, to start booking/planning. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Wait. Where did NY come into this? Would this mean a repo from PC to NY first? And some cruises out of NY before the Transatlantic?

You can't go on a repo from PC to NY can you?

I'd be surprised if they do the ebta from NY simply because they would have to sail empty between pc and ny. And with the current spring 2015 dates, I don't think there is time for cruises out of ny.

I got the NYC rumor from cruise critic... It is a rumor, just like most of this is right now. Either way, I am just really anxious to know what the date is and where the port is for the transatlantic adventure to Copenhagen.

Don't tease me like this... That would be an almost perfect cruise for us - the downside being the probable lack of CC on the itinerary.

I have received an email re disney resorts points charts (DVC) 2015 is this any indication that DCL dates will be released soon?

The last 7 night western Caribbean for the Magic starts April 26th, so that means it would return May 4th. The usual PC to Barcelona EBTA is usually 12 days, I'm guessing more if it goes straight to Copenhagen, and we know it's on the port calendar there on the 30th of May. So there are a few days unaccounted for, but not enough to sail to NY and then have some sailings and then sail to Europe. And it doesn't seem like it would make sense to sail and empty ship to NY to start a cruise. It would make more sense to just offer a longer cruise from PC.

Does anyone know if the rumours of Hawaii are still in the mix? I haven't heard anything about the possible Hawaii cruise in awhile. Is it off the table? Thanks

 

[JenKatt]

Can anyone venture a guess as to what the Dover to Barcelona ports of call would be?

I'm not sure it's off the table, the discussion has really been a focus on the Magic because the ports have been really different from the usual places. Wonder could still be going to Hawaii as well

Most of DCL's Transatlantics have been 14 nights, even though the one this May is 12 nights. It could go from PC to Copenhagen in 14 days, or it could take 15 or 16, as other some cruise lines do: http://www.ncl.com/cruises/14-day-t...94915774&&itineraryCode=STAR14MIAPDLDVRHGBCPH; http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cruiseDetails/itinerary.do?packageCode=SR15T051; http://www.princess.com/find/searchResults.do (look at Royal Princess April 2014 TA). RCI's is from Boston, but I love all the ports it visits.

My April 2011 Emerald Princess cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Copenhagen was 16 nights, with port stops in Bermuda, Cobh (Ireland), Falmouth and Dover (UK); Le Havre (France), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Oslo (Norway) and Copenhagen. Based on DCL's previous TA cruises, I think it will be light on the port stops.

Can anyone venture a guess as to what the Dover to Barcelona ports of call would be?

I was just playing with the same question. In 2010 the Dover-Barcelona was an 8 nighter with: Cherbourg (France), Sea Day, Vigo (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Cadiz (Spain), Gibraltar (UK), Sea Day, Barcelona. That year, the other direction was a 7 nighter but I'm not sure what port(s) they skipped to make it 7 nights.

Any ideas?
Hoping this repositioning cruise will be less overwhelming to the budget than, let's say, Copenhagen/Iceland or even Norway or Baltic... Hoping !

I know everyone is anxiously awaiting Baltics, Norway, TA, etc. but is anyone else like me and is waiting for the "normal" cruises? I'm looking for the regular Fantasy Eastern and am anxiously waiting for pricing and itineraries for that. Pretty sure we've narrowed down the week from the St. Maarten port schedule but I want to know where else we are going (St. Thomas, San Juan, Tortola?) and how much it's going to cost us. Waiting is hard!

I'm anxiously waiting for May, 2015 cruises to the Bahamas.

I'm watching for a Fantasy Western in the Fall. The cost is the big factor for me. I'm hoping for a good opening day deal. We are hoping to do a 7 night before we move on to Norwegian or RCL. We love Disney but when our oldest goes to high school we'll be stuck cruising in the summer.

Me, too! I'm waiting for cruises on the Fantasy or Magic, from May-November 2015 that depart from PC, and are not 7 nights or longer.

Looking for a 4 nighter to the Bahamas so that we can combine a cruise with Disney World.

Me too - looking for a cruise on the Dream before or after a few days at WDW in June 2015.

Me too - looking for a cruise on the Dream before or after a few days at WDW in June 2015.

In May, 2012, we visited WDW for two nights, went on a 3 night Disney cruise to the Bahamas, and then went back to Disney for seven nights. We had a couple of "issues" on our last night of the cruise (my husband has epilepsy) and it didn't end on a great note. So, we want to try it again.

 

[ImprovGal]

What if after the Med, there was a WBTA Barcelona - New York? There could be then be a New York - San Juan repositioning cruise that has the day at WDW as a port stop along the way.
