2015 sail dates?

[Momma2Jax]

This has probably been answered, but there's a lot of pages...

We keep reading that they are releasing the summer 2015 itineraries. We are looking for the last Alaska sailing in early sept.....which isn't technically summer... Do you guys think they will go ahead and release all of Alaska at once?

The thought is no - that it will stop with August. We won't know for certain until tomorrow it seems.

My TA is being told now that only platinum will be able to book Wednesday, silver/gold on Thursday.... Thoughts?

This year Alaska gets over Sept 8. If the same holds true for next year. That means those wanting Hawaii would not be able to book this week. Why would you promote Hawaii and have it on the website and not be able to book? Seems odd. Same thing would go for Canada NE? Tomorrow we will see. I am hoping we can book fall.

I thought the same thing. I know I've complained about their website in the past, but to have a video teasing locations they aren't going to announce seems crazy. The speculation/hints have been they are staggering so they aren't inundated with calls/website hits with people trying to book, but I would think this video may cause that anyway due to confusion. I swear they are just messing with us. I had already resigned myself to no Hawaii announcement and then I saw the video. In truth its probably better for me if they do announce Hawaii later because I'll be able to have a OBB in place to transfer.

For people not on FB.

Thanks for looking out for us non FB people!

The mobile site is pretty useless anyways!

I agree, I hate the mobile site.

I hope not. Early booking is still a perk listed for Gold:

I am totally in favor of that. Of course, next time when I will be gold I won't be happy at all. LOL.

It would stink for me! I do not become Platinum until after my April 28 Magic Cruise!

I don't see it as a listed benefit. There is early booking for Palo and Shore Excursions but I don't see for cruises.

I don't see it as a listed benefit. There is early booking for Palo and Shore Excursions but I don't see for cruises.

It's there:

Early Booking Opportunities
Be among the first to book our newest itineraries and ships before the general public.

It would only make sense if they did platinum wednesday, gold thursday, and everyone else friday. But I don't know why on earth they would.

Thankfully its still there under membership benefits.

I was doing that earlier, but Geiranger (where it is on the port schedule) in any form of spelling/combination I tried it would not do that. Oslo would. So would Copenhagen. But Disney has been to those ports before.

Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, etc redirected sites have been there for a long time. I recall some years past port information was leaked using that trick - finding live but unlinked pages.

Unless something that I have to jump at for summer 2015 comes up ( which I doubt), I will be waiting for either Hawaii or Holiday 2015..... Hopefully I wont have to wait too much longer.

Sorry duplicate post. Darn slow wifi!

 

[kimgg]

I'm sure others here may know, but I've been off the site for a while - are there any possible changes to US departure ports for summer sailings? I'm assuming no since I haven't seen that mentioned, but just making sure I'm not missing anything .

 

[kimgg]

Duplicate -sorry!

Will be Plat/gold Wed, Silver/gen public Thurs. No changes to previous pattern.

Any chance that Sitka will be a port on a 7-day Alaska cruise in 2015? Have to go to Washington state (between Vancouver and Seattle) next year for a family reunion and DBF wants to go to Sitka since we'll be "so close." I want to take an Alaskan Cruise. I think I could convince him is Sitka is one of the ports. I'm aware it's not really close...and I really hate small planes...which I'm afraid we'll need to take if we fly.

Sounds like I will know tomorrow either way!

P.S. I have no idea why he wants to go to Sitka...other than he has seen it on some Alaska shows!

I had heard Sitka may replace Ketchikan, but you are correct - we will know tomorrow

That would be great. I have been to 14 ports with Disney and Ketchikan quite easily ranks last.
