NYE Western Cruise 2008 - New Thread

[Az Pirates]

Anjelica,

As I understand it everything will be available to book 10/14

Never really understood DCL's thinking where that's concerned (especially after experiencing the booking frenzy trying to get the first Panama Repo)

Seems like rolling out some of the special itineraries on different days would really help. But what do I know?

I used to just shake my head at folks who say they don't even open their stock portfolio updates... now I'm one of them.

I've already got my shreader warmed up for the month end statement.

 

[Marla Hellwig]

well if we do one of the new ones - we won't be cruising in 2009 - which we currently have one booked

 

[tiggerwannabe]

The transatlantic ones are actually more reasonable priced~

I really like the idea of going to Norway and Germany tho...

think the price is worthy?

 

[artman]

Since Kelly hasn't checked in today I think it's needs to be said, I very much looking forward to our cruise and I am very excited!

Oh, BTW, It's Tiggs DH birthday today.

Happy BD John.

Colleen, I left a message on the answering mach; but, in case you see this first. I'll catch you guys either Thu or Fri.



New itineraries nothing like keeping our interest peaked.

Does this look correct?
Ashore and Onboard times subject to change based on actual port arrival and departure times.
* $99 rates are available for third and fourth Guests traveling with two full fare Guests in the same stateroom. Rates valid for stateroom categories 4 through 12. Government taxes and fees, in addition to excursions, are not included. See Disney Cruise Line® Terms and Conditions for applicable details. Subject to availability. Rates in U.S. dollars.

$99 for 3rd and 4th guests? I'm playing with the idea of booking me and Jesse in an inside for the Eastbound Transatlantic for $1000 each, but if it's only $99 for Chad...hmmm




Happy Birthday to Mr. Tig!

 

[Aisling]

Ok, I just saw the dates for both transatlantics, and they interefere with too much school for Jesse, darn!

Hi everyone -- wow, all those 2010 sailings look pretty exciting, don't they? Expensive too, unfortunately. But what a change in feeling between this release and the ones for 2009, which I just couldn't get excited about. I've got to do some serious thinking between now and next Tuesday. Last year we did the Med cruise (which was my favorite cruise ever) and the repo back to Florida (which was very relaxing -- you can really enjoy the ship). The repos fall during the girls' school time, though, so they are out for 2010. And the Med is just different enough to make it interesting! The Northern Europe looks extremely interesting, but seems to be the most expensive, too.

Looking forward to this New Year's Eve cruise, for sure! Have any of you sailed over NYE before? I've done NYE in WDW many times, and can't help but believe that DCL will really show us a good time on NYE.

I saw that to but then why are they quoting 3rd and 4th guests with the numbers underneath as well? I really wish I could check out the exact prices for the exact fares then I would have a better feeling of what we are looking at. My husband actually seems interested and even said something to me about a suite (although I told him you have to fax those in advance of the actual booking window - but I was just reading how some were still able to do that on the last set of med cruises, etc.).

We did the NYE in 2003 - it was the best. PM me if you have any particular questions. Lots of extras were included. We cannot wait to do this again!

Thanks for ramping up my excitement!

When we saw the setups for the New Years cruise, as we left the Magic after Christmas Cruising in 2005...I think our whole group dreamed of doing this again for New Years.

alas, all of us cannot make it, but are sailing with you all in spirit...lots and lots of spirit

Sorry you can't make it -- I didn't know that! Given how DCL does everything else, it's hard to imagine that NYE won't be pretty amazing.

 

[CADZNYCHC]

So, are you all over on the DCL site scoping out the new itineraries? Mickey was swimming pretty slowly when I was there just now.

While some of the cruises sound intriguing, I don't think we'll be booking anything on the 14th. Darn!
I'd love to hear what everone else is interested in though.

While I don't think another DCL trip is in our immediate future, we did get a bit of a Disney fix over the weekend. We went trick or treating with Mickey at DCA.

OK, I think I'll backtrack and catch up a bit here. I haven't had a chance to check in for awhile.

Were you only there Friday night? We should have made plans to meet up ...

 

[artman]

We are playing a Disney cd while doing a little clean up after dinner. The exit music from Fantasmic came on and we all stopped what we were doing, Owen even asked to have it played again.

Needless to say we are all excited now.

Sorry Kelly, you may have to move to second place, there's a new cheerleader in town.

I'm 41 years old and I think there may be something wrong with me.

I remember all the balloons being prepared as we exited the ship. But we had a great Christmas cruise with memories and friendships to last a lifetime.


I'm really excited about this cruise coming up, but I'm SO glad we get to spend a few days at WDW. I miss that place so much. I haven't been there since summer 2006.
