Thanks...
Dh would like to do one of these --
From England, the Magic is scheduled for four 12 night sailings starting on 6/12. These are rumored to be the Baltics, including Copenhagen, Oslo and Warnemunde, Germany.
And I would rather do --
Finally, on 9/18, the Magic should be heading "home" on a 14 night Transatlantic voyage
hhmmm......
SUMMARY of what we know, or think we know. Nothing confirmed as yet by
DCL.
2010
There is a press event on October 6th,
We are told the information will be in preview on DCL website from October 7th.
On sale is said to be October 21st, some reports of the 14th.
TRANSATLANTIC
There will be an Eastbound Atlantic repo, from Port Canaveral, which will be for at 14 nights on April 10, a transatlantic voyage, via
Castaway cay to Barcelona; it arrives on 4/24 at Barcelona Spain.
In 2007, this was Castaway Cay, Six days at sea, Tenerife, Cadiz Spain, Gibraltar, and Barcelona.
THE MEDITEREAN-HOME PORT BARCELONA PART 1
4/24 it begins with an 11 night sailing.
5/5 there's a 10 night,
5/15 an 11 nights
5/26 a 10 nights,
These look like the 2007 Med trips to Sicily, Naples, Rome, Sardinia, La Spezia for Florence and Pisa, Marseilles, and Villafrance for Monte Carlo.
WEST COAST EUROPE/ ATLANTIC TO UK-SMALL REPO
On 6/5 there's a 7 night. The Magic be travelling from, Barcelona to England.
A few small rumours of, Portugal, Madeira, Cadiz, Gibraltar? On the list, Western Europe, UK.
HOME PORT -UK
In Europe the home port is considered to be Southampton or Harwich, both UK. Both about 90 mins from London Airports Heathrow and Gatwick, but also Stansted for Harwich.
BALTIC
From port lists and schedules we have seen we have worked out there is most likely
Four 12 night cruises to the Baltics from these home ports. I have been posting on various threads since April and more in May, that I felt it was the Baltic sea and Northern Europe, the appearance of the Disney Magics name being listed on the Copenhagen port schedule found by Steph, -Taysmom.
http://www.tv.cphport.dk/coins/KbhHa...enAgent&lang=1
for June and July has supported this, starting on June 15th at Copenhagen, and made us feel it is the Baltic, we have an arrival time of 7am in Copenhagen.
This is a screen print of the last one.
St. Petersburg in Russia is a popular cruise port and has been mentioned a lot, it clearly has been an integral and planned part of the Baltic cruises. A lot of cruise ships overnight in St Petersburg.
We know Germany is included; the port of Warnemunde(for Berlin) has been mentioned a lot, and appeared on the port schedule for Denmark. In fact we have a departure time of 6pm from Germany.
Other ports mentioned, Gothenburg & Stockholm in Sweden.
First Baltic cruise is anticipated as June 12th, Last Baltic cruise ends July 30th in the UK.
6/12
6/24
7/6
7/18
WEST COAST EUROPE/ ATLANTIC TO BARCELONA-SMALL REPO-THE PHANTOM CRUISE
On July 30, it appears that there's going to be an 8 night sailing. This is back to Barcelona from UK. The reverse of the 7 night one above, (June 5th.)
THE MEDITEREAN-HOME PORT BARCELONA PART 2
The schedule from there is the Med again, as above,
11 night on 8/7,
10 night on 8/18,
11 night on 8/28,
10 night on 9/8.
WESTBOUND REPO TRANSATLANTIC.
There will be a westbound transatlantic back following the same route as the Eastbound but in reverse, on 9/18, the Magic will be heading to PC via Castaway, on a 14 night transatlantic voyage
I understand a considerable number of people some 50+ have asked to be waitlisted for suites for summer 2010.
The 50% deposit offer from DCL is due to end October 1st, but I understand it could be extended for a final time of one month to October 31st and then end that would cover he release of 2010 cruises. However note often the special cruises have a higher deposit pp.
The Wonder will remain doing ¾ night cruises all 2010, a couple of 5 night ones, with two stops at Castaway cay and the Magic, will remain on its 7 night Caribbean trips from January to May and September to December, generally as now, might see a slight change in port schedule to cut down on fuel costs.
Tortola for example saves fuel on St Maarten on the Eastern. Port times could be reduced to allow the Magic to go slower on three engines.
Congratulations to your db! My dad retired from the Navy as a Chief.
Almost made me afraid that something terrible had happened and they didn't want to send me any messages because they couldn't think of anything positive to say.
especially the last Med run and Repo to PC.
