NEWS 5/17: Late 2019 itineraries released - link in post #1 (2020 watch thread will start soon)

[tee11]

I find I have to restart my computer while searching on The DCL website. Its very frustrating.

What a crazy day. So I'm reporting back, that I WAS finally able to see the new itineraries *following the link from the CC Club part of the site*, but when trying to see decks or cabins... no luck!!
Luckily I got through by phone, but I would have liked to look at the site at the same time. I just tried again, and now I can't see the new itineraries anymore.

I went online at 1145 pm and was able to book for December 2019. I was able to view all the rooms online. We are silver castaway members. I got super lucky and just happened to check this site tonight. Thank you! Boy is my husband gonna be surprised when he wakes up..

I can see the new itineraries, but not the cabins available. What a mess. This is with trying 3 different browsers, too.

I sure hope you mean December 2019... since December 2018's been available for a long time now!

I hope everyone was successful with getting the bookings they wanted!

For those wanting a 2020 cruise, I will start the new thread over the weekend. I don't expect it to be busy for the next couple of months, but there are always people who plan far ahead and it is nice to have a home for everyone to see the basic infos as to when cruises are being released and how the booking schedule works.

If anyone is really keen on taking over, I am in no way offended if someone else wants to take over if they think they would enjoy it and do a good (even better!!) job. Otherwise, I am happy to keep the thread running for the next year, who knows, my husband and I finally might be able to book another cruise for us for 2020 - we are starting to get the DCL bug again, our last cruise was in 2016!!

Also, suggestions on how to set up the info in the first few posts differently is always welcome. I want to make the thread as useful for everyone as possible, so I am happy to hear suggestions on how it can be improved.

Thank you so much for being in charge!! The consensus is October for the next release, correct? I strategically moved a 2019 cruise to Sept, 2018 so that I would have an OBB to use when the next batch gets released. Nothing like letting DCL control my vacation schedule - lol.

Was today the first day for general public? Do prices usually go up right away

It depends on the itinerary. Some go up quickly, others very slowly.

Thursday was the first day for the public to book (platinum had Monday, Gold Tuesday, silver Wednesday).

Thanks a bunch Floss for doing all this and keeping it straight!!

I'm going to remove this from the stickies since all of 2019 has been released - did you WANT to start 2020, @Flossbolna? Or I could copy you and start it if you'd rather not?
