25th anniversary items and Germany cruise

[Dznypal]

we were just on the BI dream cruise

I know this was probably the last European cruise but I had I had some questions on the merchdise for the 25th
mainly was there anything with the 25th logo on it
I did get a mint colored t shirt with DCL in silver which seemed to be the themed color for the 25th but I was

hoping to find something that said 25th anniversary
I even checked on ebay and while they had things like t shirts saying 25 on them they seemed to be more like the kind people make
I was looking more for like "official" DCL things

and a totally unrelated cruise question
we put down a placeholder while on board
were planning for a cruise that goes to Germany--I know they have one next year that has 2 stops in Hamburg (while port tours are listed as Kiel)
but the other 2 ports we were already in Rotterdam and Brugge
is there any pattern for like year 2025 with possible different itinerary but still Germany
just wondering what was offered the last few years--well since cruises started back up again
but any advice would be appreciated
thanks all

just wanted to ask we book with DU and will again using the placeholder--will we still the OBC from them

We were on the 8/19-8/26 Norwegian Fjords cruise and I didn't see any merch that explicitly said 25 on it. They still had loungefly bags and ears, but they didn't say 25. I was really hoping for pins and magnets but there weren't any.

Germany is a relatively new country for DCL, so there is no regular pattern for it. The only pattern is DCL starts in the Mediterranean in May and moves to Northern Europe in mid July.

I agree with PP - there really is no pattern and DCL could stop visiting certain ports at any time (meaning, they may not even go back to Germany in 2025). This was the first year they went to Kiel. I know they are doing Hamburg next year. The Norway ports have shifted over the years and I've noticed they are going to do Rotterdam next year instead of Amsterdam (which they did this year). Having back-to-back days in Hamburg sounds rather nice if that is the area of Germany you are interested in seeing. Maybe wait until 2025 itineraries are released and make a decision then?

There was lots of stuff with the 25th log on it. I got some hot/cold insulated mugs on the Wonder a few weeks ago. There were pins, t-shirts, and spirit jerseys, too. There were also hats, which were white with that light-blue anniversary color, but I don't remember if they said "25th" anywhere.

I was surprised at how much 25th anniversary stuff there was on the Wonder!
