2015 sail dates?

[pillow]

You are a better person than I. We drove ONCE to FL and NEVER AGAIN. I am not a good car traveler (I'm the whiner that wants to know if we are there yet and how much longer and I have some major anxiety if I'm not the one driving) and just knowing I can be there on a direct flight in less than 2 hours, well, I just can't handle the drive. So, we'd fly - either to Orlando or Ft. Lauderdale. I will check both when prices are released.

Not a better person, just CHEAP!

I don't mind the drive down (we leave after school and spend the night on the road - breaks up the drive). The drive home is torture though!

Good luck with your planning!

You have WAY more patience though. I don't even want to drive 2-3 hrs to San Diego to catch a ship, lol!

Eta: I'm just not at all fond of being in the car for a long time. Feels like entrapment! Much rather be on a plane. At least I can get up, read, watch a movie. As the driver, which I am 100% of the time, I hate driving.

I was not referring to cruises placed on hold...Actually what I was referring to was "If you put a hold on a few would that not deplete inventory and cause the prices to go up for others"

Not on the reservations placed on hold...but for those who havent reserved yet...In otherwords, if a cruise line sees that a cruise is on high demand they will most likely not offer special rates or awesome OBC...again that's what I read...

I am aware the DCL rates do not go down...however TAs do give OBC...some better than others

I should've quoted mom_rules instead of you - sorry!

Patience?? I wish! Long car rides make me feel like I'm embarking on some big adventure (I'm weird). We drove across country this summer (VA to Montana) - loved it - one of my favorite vacations! But we flew home. Couldn't have handled the looong drive back home.

Sorry for getting so off topic. Back to impatiently waiting for 2015.

For me, it's the drive home as well. I am always so exhausted I'm afraid of falling asleep. The drive there goes really smooth usually. Maybe I am a rent a car on the way down and fly home kind of chick.

Where might the Magic sail for the EBTA on it's way to Copenhagen?

Always learn new tips from reading these boards and appreciate everyones help. We are platinum and hoping to get reservations for B2B cruises; 2015 WBTA and the first cruise after the TA. Want to move dummy cruise dates and reserve the same verandah 6A cabin for both cruises. The first day you can make reservations for a new itinerary are always a crush, any tips on how to increase chances of getting what you want? And secrets on how to get through to DCL the earliest, what to ask for, what info I should have on hand?

Just got off the Dream this morning. Norway was mentioned but so was Germany (I haven't seen anyone mention that yet).

I could see them doing Rostock... : Too bad there is no way to get to my beloved Bavaria on a cruise ship!

Interesting we did stop in western germany part of the former communist part of germany on the 2010 Baltic cruise.

I was looking at the Princess Baltic Sea itineraries for this summer (glad we waited, now of course we're going to check out the Disney prices!) and many of the cruises included the port of Warnemunde in Germany.

Best thing I will be calling when phone lines open which should open at 8 am. I would have several cabins and choices to go from. I have this right now with my current booking conformation. I am hoping for a cat 7 WBTA but will to go lower if necessary. Have those cabins as well. Just waiting on the email.

Yes, that was the port we also did on the Magic. Long train ride to Berlin-they were having a record heat wave and the train broke down (no AC).
We took the short train ride to Rostock. Great little place.

I'm afraid I don't have any expertise for you....but the first thing that popped into my mind was, "yeah, the first day is a crush...I wonder how many people are going to give away their best secrets and diminish their own chances! "

In 2010 we original booked DCL for the Baltics but changed to Princess since it was so much cheaper. We hesitated to go to Berlin, but managed to get on a private tour with other folks, including a young lady who brought her STITCH doll on the tour. I was so glad we took the trip into Berlin from Warnemunde Germany. It was one of the highlights of our cruise. The Baltics Eastern European Capitals cruise was one of the best we have ever taken, and we have cruised 20+ times.
When we left Warnemunde, the towns people lined the docks and waved goodbye to us since we were the first stop for the 2010 season.

We had a large group of people gathered to wave us off too. It was so much fun! The characters were all outside waving back. So magical!!!! It was one of the highlights of the trip! Gosh, I can't wait to hear where Disney will bring us next!

Without rereading the entire thread, did someone mention the possibility of double dips in the summer of 2015? Wondering if this was a wish or a real....rumor ?

Thanks!
