Summer 2018 itineraries released this week!

[mommy2allyandaveri]

So excited! Looks like Platinum and Gold can book tomorrow, and Silver 2/23.

I really really really want to do this one:

Southern Caribbean special sailing The Disney Fantasy will embark on a special 11-night southern Caribbean itinerary departing June 30, 2018, visiting tropical destinations, renowned for beautiful sun-kissed beaches, including Aruba, Barbados, Martinique, St. Kitts, Puerto Rico and the Disney private island, Castaway Cay.

The 11 night caught my eye. But I always get sad when cruises end on Castaway Cay. It makes me feel rushed.

Where did you see this? We're still silver, but we know what we want for June 2018 and I've been waiting for the realease -- oh so no patiently.

My TA sent me a copy of the release from DCL this morning. I'm hoping they will be on the site today so I can see what is there.

They won't appear in the regular website date/itineraries listing until Thursday, but here is a link to the brochure:

If you go to Disney Cruise Lines website, it's posted. I happen to call yesterday to inquire how "gold" status works and how do we find out. She advised it will post on the website. The next day, gold and platinum can book and then the day after it opens to everyone; hence the February 23rd booking date on their website. Hope this helps as I always wondered how gold/plat knew when to book if you didn't have a TA.

It won't show you pricing and actual itenerary's with dates until the 23rd though......which is tough because I'm all over the place but based on the tracker, I'm afraid the pricing for anything is going to be outrageously high!

Ugh, just read the article and they messed up my 2018 plans to N Europe. Now we have to figure if we're going to do Disney at another time, or doing something else. Bummed.

Prices will be very high. Summer always is.

We had initial planned on doing the Ireland trip, but there is no way in September... after school has started.. oh well... back to Ixtapa or Cancun, Mexico for us, next summer, God willing!

I saw on another thread that one of those is a 2017 date, but I don't know which!

I know! We can't do August or September and really don't want to go to the Mediterranean. Ugh, 2018 is supposed to be a BIG trip for our family. Now we have to re-figure where we wat to go in June.

They had a 2017 date listed for the 10-day as well as the 2018 date. Maybe the 2018 date was in error.

EDITED TO ADD: TA just told me that the 2018 date for the 10-night is in error and Disney is aware of it.

I'll be booking the 9 night Alaska, but may cancel it later after I try out Princess next month. The DCL 9 night Alaska is actually my favorite itinerary, but I've done Alaska twice with DCL and Princess has Glacier Bay and indoor pools and much larger adults only areas. First world problems strike again.

It is SO worth seeing Glacier Bay! We did our's on HAL, but loved it also because of the indoor pools and amenities.

We're going to go back to Alaska one day, but want the itinerary that HAL is offering that includes Sitka, Homer, Kodiak and Victoria.

I'm so interested in the 7 night British Isles cruise in Sept. I'm wondering what the price will be.
I showed my husband, I think he likes the ports, hoping he gives me the thumbs up to book tomorrow.

We did the 12-night on Princess in 2015 and I will tell you -- we compared prices with Disney and the itineraries were the same -- but it was thousands cheaper on Princess.

All of those ports are wonderful. If you go to Liverpool, book the Fab4 tour through that company -- best tour we've ever gotten.
