Algebralovr Posted October 8, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2014 OMG! This is extra early! Now to see what perks are offered to book super early, vs waiting and booking on board when we sail in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 8, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Excellent and welcome news Celebrity. FYI, This is 3-4 months earlier than in past years. Now, if we can only get a Summer Caribbean offering. If Europe has the rumored downturn, perhaps Summer 2016 will be the year they try it again. Way to go Celebrity !

Rare Lois R Posted October 8, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 8, 2014 WOW...seriously?....normally itineraries are released in the following year...they are actually releasing 2016/17 in 2014?:eek:....we normally don't see anything till March. I don't mean to sound cynical and I hope the annoucement stays as is.......it is quite a surprise.....:)...now if they could fix the website......that would be a true surprise!

Project_gal Posted October 8, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 8, 2014 This is great news! Thanks Celebrity Cruises. We were so concerned that we would be in the middle of the Pacific when the next cruise we wish to book opened for sale. It will be so much easier to be able to do this while at home. Now looking forward to a few more details so that we can work out our options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulamoon Posted October 8, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well..this could increase early December bookings! Lol We are onboard during some of these. Maybe it doesn't matter, is the loyalty bonus, if offered, combinable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gran2five Posted October 8, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Amazing. Can't wait. We are looking for a spring TA 2016 and expected to wait a few more months for the itineraries. I wonder if Princess will follow the same timeline. love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestsunshine Posted October 8, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Awesome. Can't wait to see the British Isle offerings for the summer of 2016! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted October 8, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I can't get the link to work on my Samsung tablet.(nothing new there) Is this a list of when bookings will open for various regions? If so, can someone tell me when they'lll be open for Carib and Panama Canal? Will there be early booking offers for Cap Club! we are already booked on Equinox for Jan 2016...but thinking far ahead for after that..maybe a Panama Canal cruise in fall 2017 (boy that does sound far away!)

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted October 8, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Great news - for all the negativity that appears on CC, this is a vast improvement of the late release dates used by Holland America and Cunard, our other lines of choice and arguably Celebrity's most direct competitors. Nice to be able to shop, plan, and compare early. Thanks Celebrity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted October 8, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Awesome. Can't wait to see the British Isle offerings for the summer of 2016! I would love to do a British Isles cruise too......2015 itineraries don't work for me:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolforkatz Posted October 8, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Happy it is so early this year! Can book while on board an upcoming cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare villauk Posted October 8, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I would love to do a British Isles cruise too......2015 itineraries don'twork for me:( Lois, Your post did make me smile because of an incident a couple of years ago... We booked a Royal sailing on Brilliance to Norway. Unfortunately, because of strikes at several Norwegian ports, until we actually boarded the ship we were unsure of where we were sailing to - many pax decided not to journey to Amsterdam and took a partial refund. We'd hoped perhaps we'd sail back to Denmark or that area of the Baltics. Anyway, to cut a long story short, as we were boarding it was confirmed Norway was back on and the backup, an itinerary around the British Isles, was off. Phew, if you could have only seen the relief on our faces. We'd have been devastated sailing back home for the week :D. Moral: different horses for different courses - bit like you booking Alaska and actually sailing up and down your local coastline ;). Btw, great news about the early deployment release :).
