2015 sail dates?

[mmouse37]

Ok....so million dollar question (and I apologize if it was asked already) but can people board in NY for the EBTA since it does not stop at a foreign port first? If I understand the law then no, but hoping we can!!!

Seems counter intuitive to fly from NY to Florida to wind up back in NY 2 days later!!! But I will do it if I have to!!

This will be my birthday cruise!!!

If available there on the same tier level, I have done it in the past.

Thank you! That's what I needed to know, too! I am going to go aged and book all three of us in the cheapest room, then switch it later when I save the money! I always thought it was the price on the day you change it! The one we want historically doesn't sell out, anyway.

Does anyone know how the 3rd and 4th passenger rates are calculated?

I'd like to know too

So...if I'm wavering between a lower category room (9B) and a verandah, is it best to book the Cat 9 on opening day? Since that is more likely to sell out, I'm thinking? And then upgrade later if I change my mind?

I would book both then cancel whatever I didn't use.

If we are gold what time can we call tomorrow? 8am ET?

 

[HookedOnDCL1]

TAs get a day for a hold, (Online you cant place a hold you can save a cruise but it doesn't hold the price- and online is not available till Thursday, ). DCL at their discretion can extend the hold by a TA to three days but may not wish to agree to that.

When I booked my last cruise online (directly with DCL), it gave me the option at then end to pay the deposit or place a hold for 3 days. (That was back in November.) In the past I have also been able to place a 3 day hold by calling DCL directly.

No. That's why they removed the CC stop. If they went to PC, CC then NY, you could've boarded.

Why wouldn't Disney want to do this...? More of a market then, isn't it?

PS - it will open online on Thursday for silver & the rest at 8am EST right?

Looks like Scott nailed the date the Magic would be in NYC also!

I thought the Fantasy would be visiting Tortola in 2015? Did I miss this somewhere?

For those not interested in Europe, kind of boring. I don't see Tortola or any new Caribbean ports, except Jamaica. Maybe the southern Caribbean will come with the fall dates?

Tortola stops will begin in the fall on the Fantasy, who will begin doing all Easterns again mixing up Eastern ports. I believe the Wonder will EBPC to San Juan, do 4 Southerns in Oct/Nov (3 weeks in Oct, 1 in Nov) and then begin 7-night Western/Easterns (w/Tortola). Most likely the Wonder will be on a Western while the Fantasy is on her Eastern w/Tortola stop so they can alternate their visits.

I imagine Fall 2015 dates released in mid-June.

I don't know if anyone knows this, but if a cruise starts at around $1500 for a standard inside stateroom, what is the estimate for the higher categories? Is there a formula? I'm looking specifically for a deluxe family oceanview.

Thanks.

Can anyone identify the place pictured on the top of page 6 of the PDF brochure that came out today? Norway? Iceland? Just breathtaking.

We are considering brining my parents on the cruise but they are not very mobile for excursions. They are always happy relaxing on the ship. I wonder how scenic the Norway/iceland sailing will be from the ship itself. A stop like the one pictured would be amazing.

I believe the Wonder with EBPC to San Juan. Do 4 Southerns in Oct/Nov and then begin 7-night Western/Easterns (w/Tortola). Obviously the Wonder will be on a Western while the Fantasy is on her Eastern w/Tortola stop.

I imagine Fall dates released in June.

Any more info about anything out of California that you can share?

I'm curious too. But I'm wanting a cat 5

I hate waiting to book my cruise, c'mon Disney release those fall dates soon please!
I'm anxious and want to start a countdown ticker!

Will prices on Thursday keep going up as people book or should it be about the same the whole day

Just wondering in case phones are busy or site crashes

Prices go up as rooms book.

What if you have an OBB, is it any less?

In the past, if you had a 10% OBB deposit and transferred to a new date you still only had to pay the difference for 10% of the new cruise. I have done that several times.

 

[pillow]

For a long time the ship was also charging 20% its only recently that on the ship as a perk they take 10%, I think a switch to an on land booking will attract 20% deposit.

Thats what I have paid on all my transferred bookings before, unless there is a recent change.

I have never paid 20% when transferring an OBB. If you paid 10% on the ship, that sticks.

Nothing other than the 2 and 3 night sailings out of San Diego in between the WBPC and repo to Vancouver. That's all that they have planned thus far.
