DCL...where, when, and what

[adventure is out there]

Good Morning,
With 3 new ships coming, where do you suppose Disney will place all 7? When will the names be announced? What would you like see with the new designs? I'm so excited to see the destinations associated with newer ships and the layout.

Happy Cruising!!!

I wish the Wonder or one of the new one's would stay at Galveston longer like into the summer months.

There was a thread on this subject here recently with a bunch of thoughts\suggestions...check it out. We live in Oregon and hope one or two of the ships stay on this side of the country.

I would like one cruise that starts in Tokyo and end in Hong Kong with a stop in Shanghai so that I can visit all the Disneylands. A agree that a longer Galveston season would also be nice.

You missed Paris, but, heck, just add a week or two to the cruise and hit Europe.

Around the world with stops in California, Florida, and France is the next stage after Asia!

I don't see a lot of families sailing around the world...

That's okay, this is my Disney Dream!

I will be surprised if they don't end up having a ship in Asia full-time.

The number one question, to me, is...with the extra ships, do they announce a second private island/port? If they have 3 or 4 ships pretty much permanently sailing the Caribbean, can Castaway accommodate that? I suppose so, if you assume one ship will continue the 3/4 night rotation (so two stops at CC per week), one does the alternating eastern/western (one stop at CC per week), that still leaves 4 days per week for another couple of ships. I just hope they never upgrade the pier to allow 2 ships at a time. It would be too crowded.

A few of months ago DCL was shopping for another island, probably anticipating the seven ship traffic. Does Hawaii have an island or two it can spare?

The second island will almost certainly be another in the Bahamas, but if not will be somewhere on the carribean. From what I can tell Castaway is pretty close to capacity as it is. You would assume they want to keep a day or two per week for maint. and whatnot.

My money is on 3 ships year round stationed out of the southern US with at least 2 others returning seasonally as they do now. Where the other 2 winter may change some but I think South Pacific is likely for one of them.

I think the third year round Southern US ship will likely mix in longer 10-14 nighters.

I would so love a cruise that went to all 3 eastern parks.
