New Fall 2021 Itineraries Announced!

[Meriweather]

looking to book our family cruise that was canceled for next October!!

I was hoping for Hawaii.

didn’t expect DCL to have a fall Hawaii cruise. Last time they did. The last time DCL been toHawaii was sep 2015. Two one way trips from Vancouver to Hawaii than Hawaii to Vancouver DCL couldn’t fill the ship even with almost giving the cruises away to cast members. If I told you how cheap you wouldn’t believe me. People ask why do they almost give the Hawaii cruises away to cast members. First of course it’s better to almost give them away than to have the stateroom empty. DCL will make a little bit on the cruise fare, palo, drinks, excursions, etc. second it helps out the workers on the ship who gets paid by tips. Third just to say thankyou.
DCL might again sail to Hawaii in the fall but right now they don’t want to take any chances. They need to make money. ,

So disappointed that the Magic NYC to San Juan is a Halloween cruise! It's always a Very Merrytime. We already have a Western Carib planned for Aug/Sept so think we'll pass on this round.

I feel the same, I was hoping to do the NY to San Juan but only if it was Merrytime. It's earlier this year.

It looks like the Fantasy's 7 night cruises are now starting and ending on Sundays instead of Saturdays (at least around Christmas time)...odd.

The trouble with these being released so late is that means the winter 2022 won't be coming out until at least November. I was hoping for October, which would be before our March 2021 PIF. I thought about looking at one of the Xmas cruises, but I can't do that to my mom. I'm not sure we'll be able to see her this Xmas (Covid will make the difference) and it would break her to not see her children for 2 years (and her birthday is Jan 1.)

If my on board booking was booked on Sept 24 2019. Can I use it for the Sept 18 transatlantic cruise that ends on the 29?

Yes - it’s the date you get on the ship that counts.

I wonder what the pricing for these will be like.

Thank you

I bet prices continue to go up as if nothing happened this year. We’ll find out on Monday.

We shall see. I'm hoping they're reasonable because I want to book one of them.

Same here. I was hoping to take a later cruise that started and ended in NY (wishing for a Merrytime, even) but she leaves so quickly!

Are you sure you were looking at the right year? They still look like Saturday to me.

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize you were looking at December. It does a 5 night on 11/6 leaving on a Saturday, and then picks up the 7 nights on Sundays after that. It might be because Christmas is on Saturday and that would mess up a pretty important day.

What time of day do the reservations begin? 7am?

Was wondering same thing. Does platinum online booking open up at 12am Eastern time on Monday or something like 8am EST on Monday?

 

[Ravenclaw78]

Phone opens at 8 AM Eastern. As for online, well... See below.

Yep. They randomly open booking sometimes hours in advance... Scott over at https://disneycruiselineblog.com usually posts on twitter when it does.

First time booking on opening day, for us.

How does it work with the DU online form. Do I fill out one form for every cabin type that I consider?
I'm not sure if I want a 9A or 9B, I will decide after I know the price difference.

 

[T & R]

Just loaded up Disney Gift Cards, ready to pounce in the morning when booking opens. Will be really interesting to see what the prices will be with the current environment.

Planning on booking the 4 day cruise from Vancouver to San Diego. Wondering if anyone has done this and if it’s a nice cruise?
