Ahoy there, Carl!
Welcome aboard! Gosh, wouldn't it be lovely to have a Disney Cruise close to home? Sadly I'm in a landlocked state...but you can keep wishing for one from New York!
I wish I knew how Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie chose the departure ports each year, but that's a mystery.
Cruising from New York has been an option in the past, but I can't say when one of the ships will be heading back again.
The good news is that
Disney Cruise Line just announced that four new ships will be joining the fleet—that's in addition to the Disney Treasure coming this year and the Disney Destiny next year! With new ships, I hope we will see some new home ports and return to favorite locations like New York. Time to wish on a star or two!
The best place to watch for new itineraries and other announcements is the
Disney Parks Blog. With so many ships in development, there will be plenty of fun updates to keep us busy. I'm especially excited about the Disney Destiny because we just found out that
Hercules will be the star of one of their shows! I'm super excited to see a new imagining of that story and music, it's always been one of my favorites.
I'm sorry I can't see what's over the horizon for cruising, Carl! I hope that a new adventure appears at a port near you soon.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
