2015 sail dates?

[dsnydaddy]

I'm wondering if anyone can advise what opening day sale prices usually are...percentage wise? Ie, 10% off?

What are the best sites to get the information when it's released (hopefully tomorrow)?

Thanks!

There is not an "opening day sale." The opening day prices are the base price for the cruise. As the cruise books up then the prices will rise with supply/demand. Thus opening day is often cheaper than any other time of year. I've been told that cruisefish has opening day prices listed so that you can see the increase/decrease over time.

To get an idea of what I can expect, I usually look on DCL's site at the slower months. Those cruises often don't book quickly and I can see what the base price started as. But even that is misleading as months differ from each other as to what the base price will be. October will be much cheaper than June.

I doubt that we have anything price-wise tomorrow. We'll have dates and destinations and that's about it. Wednesday when they open up to Plat/Gold you'll see people who have booked list their prices and you can get an idea from that.

Why yes, yes you did! Seems that most insiders agree with you so that seems more likely than today. It's only one more day anyway!

Helps to have your own insider(s) in your pocket!

Honestly we have more info but can only say so much - we need to protect and keep those sources!!!!!

DCL might release "starting at" prices.

Crazy question about booking and disabilities. My 6 year old son recently lost most of his vision due to progressive Coats disease. He is, obviously, learning to deal with this change and learning to adapt. My question is, do I note this on our reservation when I make the reservation, or do I wait? My only concern is when he wants to go to the kids clubs. I will be watching him like a hawk whenever he is with us. And we will be the ones helping him with stairs and things but what do I do about the clubs? Do I just notify them when I get there? Or do I note the reservation? Or does it not make a difference? His big sister is a huge helper but she will be too old to go with him, so I can't rely on her and his twin will be off doing her own thing. Do they offer anything to those with visual impairments?

Also I am worried about if he ever was in there and the club had to be evacuated. Obviously he could not get out by himself. He would need someone to hold his hand and lead him. Thanks so much for your help!

PS: the nervous mom in me doesn't really want to let him go, but I know I have to. He loved the clubs last time and his siblings will all be going. I want him to have fun too….but I also want him to be safe. Thanks!

I would call DCL with your concerns...it will put your mind at ease.

Aww!! Hugs for your DS and you! I don't have anything to offer but got a little misty eyed as I'm sure that''s hard but good for you for letting him have fun and play too!! You rock and I'm sure your DS will have a blast. My DS bonded with a kid in a wheelchair on our first cruise so I hope your DS can find a buddy too!

Ditto! And would add that you might want to start a new thread with your questions. Then folks who might be in similar situations can relay their experiences.

Thank you. It has been hard but he never lets it stop him from doing the things he loves. He has taught us all how to be strong and happy even during hard times. I am very proud of him.

Thank you again for your kind words.

Reminder - even if they announce the itineraries tomorrow, booking will probably not open until Wednesday for platinum/gold.

As far as the video, my first instinct was that it was an old video but after seeing it, it mentions Europe and mentions Canada/New England. Last time they did Canada/New England they did not go to Europe that summer so I'm thinking it's either part of a TA or possibly a few short cruises at the end of a TA (like they are doing with Puerto Rico and the Southern Carribbean after the WBTA this year).

I am only speculating, but when I saw the video where it referenced Canada/New England and NY, my first thought that it would do the EBTA sailing out of New York. I presently have an April 26, 2015 dummy cruise booked and was told that this is the last sailing before the summer itineraries come out. That sailing returns to PC on May 3, so my hunch is EBTA from PC, or if they reposition to NY, maybe the EBTA to Europe with a surprise Canada sailing in between. This is just my speculation and I have no information to verify that this may be fact. Guess we will be in suspense another day!

Anyone know if the release of these dates includes Fall 2015 like November? I realize it says Summer 2015. Just wondering.

The chatter is that it is only going to be until August and that Sept-Dec will get released later, maybe June? But no one knows for sure. We will find out tomorrow!

 

[Emzed]

Where and when tomorrow? Any ideas? I will be standing by... again

 

[queenofheartsfan]

Can't wait! I am actually off work Wednesday! Hopefully i can get something booked for 2015!!!!

 

[Mickeyhugger]

Tomorrow.

I'm confused. I thought the announcement was to be made TODAY (24th) and that Platinum and Gold can book tomorrow. So, the announcement will be made tomorrow, and we can book Wednesday?

 

[ThereYouSeeHer]

Looking back, it appears...

Early 2014 itineraries were announced on Tuesday, December 4, 2012.
Late 2014 itineraries were announced two months later on Tuesday, February 12, 2013.

Early 2015 itineraries were announced on Tuesday, November 12, 2013.

I'm confused. I thought the announcement was to be made TODAY (24th) and that Platinum and Gold can book tomorrow. So, the announcement will be made tomorrow, and we can book Wednesday?

Looks like Disney will be sticking with their pattern of Tuesday announcements. Gold and Platinum should book on Wednesday, and the rest of us on Thursday.

so can you confirm how much of 2015 they will be offering? some say just to the end of august but i would think that would be silly. stranger things have happened i guess.

 

[lbgraves]

She has said that it will only be through August. Not so strange. Last year they didn't release October - December on the Wonder until 06/03/13. That was also when they shuffled the Magic & Dream's cruises during the same time period.
