What do you think would be the most successful new Disney Cruise?

If you were the head of Disney Cruise Lines, where would be the next destination to which you'd add a cruise?

I don't know about "adding" a cruise because I belive they already go there now. The Alaskan cruise market is I believe the up and coming cruise destination, and one that I would pick over others.

What up and coming markets are there? I have always, always wanted to do a cruise in Northern Europe - Norway especially. But I don't know if the Disney ships are small enough to do those. So I'll go with Alaska, like Vettelover. That's something I really, really would like to do. Call it sunshine overload Smile

Who knows about this stuff? Are new markets opening for cruising?

IIRC, one of the old ships will be moving to Europe when both of the new ones are sailing.

Hawaii! That would be awesome - start in California, cruise to Hawaii. They could incorporate their new resort and everything.

I think it would probably be a two week cruise. And it would rock

HAL does a 15 day Hawaii out of Southern Cali. Yes, that's an awesome idea, Caitie. I'm becoming more and more interested in Aulani...

Tony...do you remember the itinerary? Meditteranean, I think? Seems like I remember reading that they've given Tunis the axe in favor of a stop in Italy.

It would! I would have to go on a mini-cruise first..to make sure I don't get seasick or anything like that.

I don't think an itinery has been formally announced yet.

It's a good idea. That's what we did. We should probably also research what cruising out there in the wide open Pacific is like, because I would imagine it's different from island-hopping in the Caribbean, but I could be wrong.

The only sea sickness I encountered was when I would try to sit and look out from the side of the ship. Facing forward or backward, I was fine. It mostly seemed to happen when I tried to read or just stare at the water. Wasn't expecting that. It was weird.

I did a cruise when I was in high school and I didn't get sick..but who knows how old age has affected my sensibilities.

I don't care too much about the destination. If I ran DCL, I would offer one "adults only" cruise each year. The adults could even play in the kids' clubs - lol. It would just be something entirely different. Yes, all the characters would still be aboard. The sailing would be a true fantasy for adults to savor the joys of a second childhood and feel like kids again, then enjoy the adult areas of the ship. It WOULD be a sell-out for true Disney fans (adult) only!

I like that idea.
