2027 Disney Summer Cruises

[Cfabar1]

We will be September cruisers for the foreseeable future... If a good discount comes up we might do a Merrytime... but Summer is just too expensive for us...

Thats not correct on flights. The flight cost during our summer is much cheaper cos american airlines have seasonal direct flights during this period.

Its during our winter when australians want to go enjoy the national parks in the states and Canada that the prices go crazy high.

My next trip to florida will be in december in part cos I can get cheaper flights then. June/july is way too expensive.

I would of thought its hard to get to the Baltics for Americans. Multiple flights Im guessing. Although I could be wrong.

I just priced out tickets from my state to Sydney. RT in July is 1600 and December break is 3900 RT. Keep in mind kids in the states only have 2 weeks off in the Winter and prices are high to everywhere you want to go. Maybe prices are cheaper as you go into February and earlier in December.

It's very easy to get anywhere in Europe. If you can't get there direct there is a huge amount of flights to LHR and from there you can fly anywhere. Most major airlines offer flights to CPH which is where the Baltic cruises depart from. The last time we departed from CPH we flew to LHR spent the night and then jumped on SAS to CPH. It's about 90 minute flight from LHR. This Summer I'm flying non-stop to FCO on AA and then taking a 90 minute flight to Istanbul on Turkish Air.

I know it's a long shot, but I'm holding out for a Fall Canadian cruise.

Not for Americans it isn't.

Both of my cruises have been out of the Med. First one was Adriatic in the month of July second was western in the month of March and April though the route is mostly similar with certain ports here and there altered throughout the season. Not one American was going to there for the beaches. The beaches are very rocky filled not sand filled by in large, you have to go to specific destinations within Europe for the beaches and most cruises are not hitting those. Boring is subjective, but in warm climates in the U.S. the beaches here are mostly sand beaches. I would never travel 8+hours (from the coast that doesn't include the flight to get to the coast) to Europe to go sit on a beach, it's not a good usage of my money and time even if I went to the Canary Islands or the Azores I would do a lot of historical site seeing with beach time mixed in. But it is to see historical sites and that is the travel patterns for Americans, the excursions don't lie either in numbers based on nationality.

If they want a beach they will normally go to somewhere closer, consider the Azores and Canary islands and south of France being akin to the Caribbean area in terms of proximity. We go the Caribbean if we want beaches outside the U.S. we do not go to Europe to do that, summer or otherwise.

If you want to see historical sites then cruising the med is the wrong way to do it.

Land trips are best for historical sites.

You need to read more comments, it's covered already by me and multiple posters.

Truthfully you don't sound very knowledgeable about the U.S. nor travelers from there.

Two weeks at xmas and new years are obviously busy everywhere. But outside that its pretty good despite it being vacation period here due to seasonal flights.

If you have a cheap flight in july you havd done well. Sydney is probably a bit cheaper in july as less seasonal variability in flight options then other australian states.

I thought we were talking about europe?

You've spent quite a lot talking about Americans and how they are supposed to travel from their interests to flight options

I'd love to do a fall cruise at some point but then for Canada split between wanting a bucket list Arctic Circle cruise that would also potentially touch on some of the same ports as a fall centric one depending on the length of the cruise and time of year

Have cruises always been released early morning Eastern? Coming at this from California, I’m still not sure there’s anything I’m willing to wake before 5AM for…but I do have certain rooms I strongly prefer on the Dream/Fantasy class…

Yup. They say 8 AM, but I remember them Panama Canal being open available to book at like 7:05 AM eastern

I was just pointing out why families may not want to go to Australia for a Disney cruise. Regardless of the cost kids are in school.
Aren’t your kids in school in July?

I did not wake for it, booked around 3-4PM eastern and had about 100% stateroom availability in the categories I was looking for on two separate sailings, including the double dip. I know there aren’t many Pearl cruisers but not too many Platinum cruisers eager to book today either, I guess.

That explains why the wait was so long when Disney finally opened at 8. My Costco representative said she had to wait over an hour and a half to get anyone to pick up. I called a couple of hours after they opened and it was about 40 minutes to get Costco on the line and twenty minutes to get through to Disney. The thing that took the longest was getting a supervisor at Disney to help the person apply the extra placeholder for payment.

Yes, I have heard the comments about two ships in Europe in the summer and have not been feeling that Disney would do that any time soon...but, with the focus switching even more heavily to shorter cruise out of Southhampton, I am feeling it as a real possibility sooner rather than later. I think they will put one in Southampton all summer doing mostly shorter cruises. It would be nice if they did some longer ones at the beginning that draws more Americans since British schools go longer than ours. The other ship could offer more variety and lengths throughout the Med. Fingers crossed.

Oh? My son’s school finishes in june and returns late august, i thought that was fairly similar to your own?

Some US schools are earlier. My kids get out before Memorial Day (last day is May 21st this year) and then go back in Mid-Aug

Yep. Here in Alabama, schools begin around the first week of August and dismiss right before Memorial Day (late May).

Yeah June is very rare around my area. Most schools in my area are mid-May to before Memorial Day going back right around the 10th to mid-August. If you went into June it means you used up too much snow days which is also rarer these days as they just add minutes to the days for X amount of time to make up for it.
