2015 sail dates?

For those of us anxiously awaiting the potential Baltic and Northern Fjords cruises, I picked up the BBC DVD Vikings by Neil Oliver at Costco this week for $20 (CDN). Essentially there are 3 one hour (approx) shows that trace the history of the Vikings from their roots in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, through Ireland and England and onwards to Iceland with a 'wee' bit of Greenland thrown in. A little time is also spent in St Petersburg, Russia (apparently the Vikings who arrived there were known as the Rus - or men who row).

The documentary is very well done - and the disc includes subtitles for those that might need help understanding the Scottish accent of the host :rotfl2:. Then again, some of us find a man with a Scottish accent to be very ... Intriguing ;)

Thanks for the tip. And bring on the Scottish accent :)
 
No offense, but I'm really glad you aren't in charge!!! :rotfl2:

I am ready for the wait to be over!

None taken, I'm glad, too, haha!! I want those dates out as much as anyone!
And just to clarify, I know the kids sail free isn't for 2015, but if DCL is too pricey or not doing any closed loop Southern California offerings in 2015, then we will book for RCCL this year and worry about 2015 later. If DCL has what we want, we will hold off on a 2014 cruise and save up for 2015. :)

Rec'd an e-mail from my Dreams TA this afternoon saying that they expect DCL to release the rest of 2015 any day now and could be as early as this coming Monday. It's getting close!!

To fit in with UK school holidays the only dates we would be able to do out of those would be the 22nd July (my first choice) or the 15th, 22nd August. Here's hoping for good prices for those

The later ones will be the cheapest as (1) USA children go back earlier generally than UK, (2), these will be seven night trips and they have done these before, so not new. The 3rd August might be cheap as it's a Dover to Barcelona repo.

Thank you they are good to know tips. I can't wait for the announcement it's so exciting
 
Hopefully next Monday for an official annoucement but I suspect some major leaks of full cruises during this week.
I know people know people, which is how we are looking toward a Monday release. But will Disney really stray from their pattern of Tuesday announcements?? Monday seems like an odd day to me....

this is great! it will be fun if you compare how correct these predictions were!!!

Yes agree, looks like we are very close now.

I know people know people, which is how we are looking toward a Monday release. But will Disney really stray from their pattern of Tuesday announcements?? Monday seems like an odd day to me....


Well it's suggested it's a Monday announcement and a Tuesday release, I think that pattern has been done before, but I have known the predicted date to be out by 24 hours before, in fact it was last year I predicted it about a month in advance and was 24 hours out! In the scheme of things that's actually very accurate.

Many DCL TAs are now saying it's next week and taking booking orders, they wouldn't use Internet rumour as a base for their businesses but would be in the know.

Yes, one more prediction.

There will still be something that's a surprise that we do not know at the moment. In fact more than one!

True, I agree all signs point to next week, and that is close enough in the grand scheme of things! I just hope Disney doesn't stray from their pattern of Tuesday announcement, Wednesday booking for Gold and Platinum, and Thursday booking for everyone else. It will make future announcements and release dates that much harder to pin down!!

I think there will be two days for a Gold and Platinum, that is the norm for summer releases.
 
Does anybody have any experience booking with DVC points when the cruises are released. Are they bookable straight away?
