nngardener Posted November 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2015 My TA just contacted Celebrity to verify the dates for the 2017/2018 Deployment Opening Schedule. She was told that they wouldn't start November 17th as reported previously; in fact, it might be as much as two months later. Has anyone else been told this?

Rare Cruise Junky Posted November 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I think you might be right. The deployment schedule has disappeared from cruising power. It was there an hour ago. I'm sooooo disappointed :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted November 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2015 They must be redeploying the deployment schedule. Oh well. Princess is still scheduled for 3 December and at least their itineraries are out and about on this site to have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin Life Posted November 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just off Equinox where there was a 2017 Transatlantic Exclusive Onboard Offer where you paid a $100 deposit and get free gratuities plus OBC up to $300 depending on type of stateroom booked. To get these amenities you must book between November 17, 2015 and November 30, 2015 and were on that TA. I presume the other ships coming back had this same offer. This is in writing and were being sold with reservation numbers issued, so if there is going to be a delay, the Future Sales Office on Equinox certainly was not aware of it.

Ooooooo off to look now - after the change of dress code we were thinking of looking there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted November 12, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2015 After all the problems in Europe this year, I wouldn't be surprised if changes are being made to the itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 booked ahead on X, and our 1st on Princess but have been reading some of the present live Princess threads, Andy's recent review, etc. It .may be time for us to expand our horizons. We will never make Zenith from Elite Plus and will be starting over on a new line...but it may be worth it to switch things up as we may no longer be "chic" enough for X.

Andy Posted November 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Interesting. Maybe they are making some changes. Look forward to seeing if the original dates reappear, or there's a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project_gal Posted November 13, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 13, 2015 With luck, perhaps they will delay long enough for us to be on board our January cruise when the Caribbean cruises are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted November 13, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Will the itineraries also include 'Edge?' I know the first ship is slated to be launched at the end of 2018 and these itineraries are for 2017/2018. Do they finish just before Spring TA's or go through the year, as Azamara does (all 2018 now out for Azamara) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge should be next year. Charie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzzzinma Posted November 13, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Future Cruises on the Constellation told us at the Captain's Club Elite party today that the 2017 TAs would be released on Dec 8 instead of the Nov 17. As an earlier poster stated, we've been given all the 2017 TA dates and itineraries but not the number of days or the prices. We can pre book one of the cruises with $100 per person deposit to lock in the on board benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compass Rose Monica Posted November 16, 2015 #25 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I got off the Silhouette yesterday. It has changed from the 17th to December 8th for the Europe cruises. I received a copy of the information when I did a couple of future bookings. Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
