Do you know what the prices were like for this cruise? And did they (by any chance) also sail one-way from Vancouver to Honolulu? That would be a great way to get business for their Aulani resort.

The price listed on the itinerary ($5414) was for 2 adults a 9 yr old in an inside stateroom. Not bad for Hawaii and the fact that it's 10 nights.[/QUOTE]

I think that's very high for an inside room. I can only imagine what a verandah would be! That averages to about $541/night -- with so many sea days and the fact you have to fly from two different ports, I'm wondering if that's why they didn't put it on the schedule again :confused3
 
The Hawaii/Vancouver itinerary is one I hope they repeat in the future. That would be my dream vacation. I'm thinking a couple days of sightseeing on Oahu, followed by a couple relaxing days at Aulani. Then get on the ship and do some serious excursions on the other islands (I especially like the overnight stop in Maui and the ability to see the volcanoes on the big island), followed by five ultimately relaxing sea days. But in 2015 (and for the next several years) that's too much school missed for my DS.

I saved a screenshot for those wondering about the itinerary they did.

This would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I voted Baltimore--but no way in the world DCL would even consider doing that!!

Yeah, I remember a large volume of people on these boards saying the same thing about DCL never ever going to NYC, and no way could they make it work to go to Hawaii! ;)

Agree. Northern ports (on either coast) are problematic because they can't sustain year-round itineraries. Yes, there's a small market, but not enough to attract DCL.
 
I don't necessarily need one of the new ships to be NYC but if the magic could hang out in NY for a few more years that would be awesome! I know people think the NYC cruises are expensive but DH and I save so much in airfare when we can take the train or bus for 3 hours.

Ah--but this is Baltimore--Queen City of the Patapsco drainage basin--its not NYC or Hawaii.
 
Baltimore!!!!
Definitely my first choice!
It's "easy" to reach for everyone on the Eastern Seaboard (relatively speaking).
Need something in between Florida and NY.

I would also vote New Jersey over Manhattan.
Reports from people that drove to the Manhattan terminal sound like an absolute nightmare (returning to a different pier than where your car is, disorganized, must cross several very busy streets by foot, etc) - all this with small children, babies, and a ton of luggage - no thanks! Disney is THE family cruise line, so I wish they'd take those things into account.
Otherwise it would be so great to have a home port on the East Coast besides the ones in Florida!

Other ideas: Norfolk, Charleston, or Jacksonville.

I don't think Baltimore is possible. From what I've heard the Disney ships would be too large to go under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Does any of our nautical people know if this is true?
 
From what I gather RCL runs their older and smaller ships out of Baltimore----
 
I agree it would be nice to have something between NY and Florida. Baltimore or Philadelphia would be easier for me...but how about Norfolk?
