So the reason I am thinking that Freedom will be released with this batch is because her itineraries are loaded onto cruise cal along with the rest of the year round ships. No seasonal Caribbean ships are loaded yet, so that's my theory. :D

 

I don't typically use CruiseCal but looked it up because of this post. Are their posted itineraries for Oasis/Freedom etc for Summer 2018 accurate/what will become official, or is it just guesstimates?

cruisecal is almost always accurate in my observation throughout the different lines. If anything ever turns out wrong it's most likely due to a last minute change.

Since when did RCI let you put a courtesy hold when calling in...I thought those could only be done occasionally online :confused:

When I called last week, the night they released the Symphony bookings, they allowed me to do a courtesy hold over the phone. I thought the same thing, that they didn't do those anymore.

On that Press Release, it says Alaska available to book 3/16 and then select Caribbean on 3/17. I'm a little confused because I just mock-booked two different Alaska trips today (on 3/15), so does that mean Caribbean will be out tomorrow if they're a day ahead?

 

Basically as always they say that C&A have 24 hour access ahead of release but it is open for everyone... and for US it was from last night for Alaska.

 

The Caribbean says 17th but C&A would be from tomorrow anyway... but everyone will be able to book! It's possible it might be bookable from tonight over the phone, as Alaska was yesterday.
