DCL Itineraries?

[dbond]

I'm so confused about DCL Itineraries. Didn't they change the ports for the Eastern? I'm looking at pricing on the DCL website and it still lists St. Maarten & St. Thomas as the ports. Am I just totally confused, or did I read somewhere that they dropped St. Maarten and are stopping somewhere else. And did I read that one of the itineraries makes a stop in Antigua, which sailing is that?

I believe it is the experimental 10 day in Dec of 2004 that includes the extra ports.

I found the answer to my question from another source so I thought I would post the changes in itinerary here in case anyone else is confused:

For the Sept 18 and October 2 2004 Eastern Itineraries, the ship stops
at Antigua instead of St Maarten

For the August 7 and August 21, 2004 Eastern Itineraries, the ship stops
at San Juan instead of St Maarten

On December 18, 2004 the Disney Magic will do a special 10 night cruise.

On November 22, 2003 this year the Western Itinerary will include two
days at Castaway Cay (with a early stop at Castaway Cay replacing a stop
at Key West for that sailing only)

Other than those dates, the Western and Eastern Itineraries remain the same.

The September 4, 2004 Magic will also visit San Juan rather than St. Maarten, in addition to the dates listed above.

The December 18, 2004 10-day cruise will visit Key West, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Thomas, and Castaway Cay.

Also, in December 2003, the Wonder will change its schedules so that passengers don't need to disembark/embark on Christmas Day or New Year's Day...

On Sundays, 12/21 and 12/28, the Wonder will depart for a <b><i>3-day</i></b> cruise rather than its usual 4-day cruise.

On <b><i>Wednesdays</i></b>, 12/24 and 12/31, the Wonder will depart for a 4-day cruise with a day at sea on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Thanks for mentioning the change to the 11/22/03 Western, dbond. I didn't know about that change. What was your source, if you don't mind my asking?

They're having a <b><i>major</i></b> powerboat racing event at Key West that weekend. I can see why they wouldn't want cruise ships to be there that day.

The port is closed for several days during this event.

Dave, I got the 11/22 info about 2 days at CC from a travel agent friend of mine. That was a new one for me. That would be awesome, I'll have to look into those dates.
