Thanks for compiling all that.

Since DCL knew the Dream and the Fantasy would be at Port Canaveral for the whole year why didn't they release all the 2014 dates at the same time?

I do hope that before they release the 2015 dates they set aside the DVC dates instead of allowing mere mortals to begin making reservations then have their cruise canceled.

You might have a better shot at upgrading to one of the royal suites at the port than DCL planning that far ahead.

DCL's FB page:

Adventure awaits! In summer 2015, we are charting a magical new course…stay tuned for an announcement next week!

I have also added the links to opening day threads so they are all in one place. I'll start a new one Monday once we get the dates and itineraries so will be ready on Tuesday.

I remember, TEN YEARS AGO, how everyone on the boards then was impatiently awaiting the release of summer 2005 rates.

There were only two ships, and rumors were that the Magic (or was it Wonder?) was going to do the Mexican Riviera.

I thought this was interesting of past opening day dates.
