Early 2015 Dates Announced – Available to book November 14th (Gold & Platinum Booking November 13th)

Disney Cruise Line announced early 2015 itineraries for the entire fleet sailing from Port Canaveral and Port Miami. All cruises departing from January to April will include a day at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. The Disney Wonder will continue to sail from Miami while the Dream, Magic, and Fantasy will be sailing from Port Canaveral. A new Disney Cruise Line Itinerary Brochure has been made available with the 2014 and 2015 sail dates. With the over 90 sailings added today, there is only one new itinerary. The Disney Wonder has a new 5-Night Western Caribbean itinerary with two days at sea between a stop in Cozumel and finishes at Castaway Cay.

When Can you Book 2015 Sailings?

Reservations for these early 2015 Disney cruises will begin on Thursday November 14, 2013 at 8:00 AM EST. Gold and Platinum Castaway Club member can start booking tomorrow, Wednesday November 13, 2013 at 8:00 AM EST.

2015 Port Canaveral Sailings

The Disney Dream will continue to sail three and four night itineraries with stops in Nassau and Castaway Cay on Monday and Thursday sailings from Port Canaveral.

The Disney Fantasy will sail exclusively to the Eastern Caribbean itineraries alternating between St Maarten and St Thomas on seven-night itineraries embarking on Saturdays. The best part of these Fantasy itineraries is the weekly call to San Juan.

2015 Miami Sailings

The Disney Wonder will continue to sail on a variety of four-night Bahamian and five-night Western Caribbean cruises from Port Miami. The new 5-night Western Caribbean itinerary has been labeled as Itinerary D and may change once Disney fully updates their website as it is currently listed under itinerary B, which does not include Castaway Cay.

Wow. The price difference in 2015 is shocking. And the difference between cruises in January and March is mind blowing. Forget about Spring Break. Better get a second job. 🙂 We must have got a steal when we went on the Christmas cruise on the Dream in 2012. That was bargain compared to what they want now.

I didn’t look at January and March, but February is essentially the same for 2015 as for 2014 (at least right now). The 2015 Easter pricing is pretty expensive by comparison to the 2014 pricing, though. So, I’m curious and nervous to find out the Christmas 2015 pricing when the itineraries release for sale.

Scott, based on what you see on the schedules for 2014 and 2015, does it look like there would be a time where DCL could get all four ships together for a photo op? I vaguely remember Disney getting one of the classic ships and the Dream together off Castaway Cay not long after the Dream’s inaugural cruise, and it seems like since the entire fleet’s sailing out of Florida for part of 2014 and 2015, they’d have an opportunity for some kind of gathering. I know I’d book a cruise if I could be there to see it!

Question for you Scott and I’ve got the same question into DCL right now. Do you know if I can book a cruise in 2015 now and then rebook it in May 2014 while we’re onboard the Fantasy to get the discount applied to it? If you don’t know the answer I’ll let you know what DCL tells me when they write me back. I can get the room I want right now and don’t know if it will be available when May rolls around.

You absolutely can book now and re-shop while onboard. Keep in mind that you will pay the current prevailing rate while onboard. Do the math with the 10% discount so you can make an the best possible decision. The wild card is defiantly the rate in May.

Jackie,
Sorry, but I do not know when DCL will be releasing the rest of their 2015 schedule. I do not want to speculate a date at this time considering I’ve heard many different dates that are all over the calendar. I will be sure to share the information once it becomes available.

Hi, I’m going on my first disney cruise in September this year, were from Scotland. I would like to re-book for 2015. Do I get a discount only if I book on the actual cruise or as soon as the dates are released?
Whats the best option if there is is one?
