Summer 2005 - another question

[KEH]

Sorry, I just thought of something else.

The first date shown out of Port Canaveral after the blank period seems to be 3 September 2003. If the Magic does go west, do you think the re-positioning cruise to bring it back would be, say, 10 days getting back to Port Canaveral on 3rd Sept ready for the first regular sailing? Or do you think it might come back earlier and do a 3 or 4 day cruise to get it back on the Saturday rotation?

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere but I didn't fancy ploughing through all the pages of the other threads to check.

Thank you.

Not really an answer to the question, just an observation - NCL just announced their 2005/2006 itineraries. So while DCL has their fall itineraries set already, the fact that they haven't announced their summer itineraries really doesn't mean anything one way or the other.

Most Panama Canal cruises on other lines range from 12 to 16 days in length. Of course that includes several port calls along the way. DCL could do it in 10, but as a minimum I think they must do at least two non-US ports.

It's a long journey - LA to the Panama Canal is about 3000 miles! It's about 1500 miles from Port Canaveral to the Panama Canal.

I still think the Magic stays in the Caribbean though...

I feel for the West Coast folks, if they don't get a DCL ship for a least a brief time, but I rather cruise the Caribbean even if I lived in CA.
