We booked our Panama Canal cruise Oct 2, 2022 (full transit Los Angeles-Tampa) the day it opened and that was March 3, 2021. Certain categories booked up quickly. Hope this helps with the time frame you're considering.

 

So far the schedule posted is:

Alaska...Nov 29th

Europe...Dec 6th

Carib...Dec 13th

New England, LA & short Carib...coming soon

 

Remember these are week of not specific

Summer May-Oct 2023 Alaska Cruises are up. Along with multiple Hawaii ships

Surprised that Enchantment is doing RT Vancouver in summer 2023.

 

I wonder if Grandeur is returning to Baltimore?

It looks like the Australian summer will have Ovation, Quantum and Enchantment in 2023/2024. Wonder where Radiance will go to.

Perhaps there is a Radiance Hawaii cruise yet to be listed.

I only see one, Enchantment. What others do you see?

Quantum and Ovation also.

The Quantum and Radiance Hawaii sailings load fine, but the Ovation gives an Oops error when trying to load it. It’s been that way since last night.

We had to call to book this one

So which one is getting cancelled??

I would guess the Alaska one as I don't think they would sail that early in the season.

[FionaMG]

So I guess this means there must be a Panama Canal cruise on the cards for Enchantment?

If she actually goes to Alaska (or elsewhere west), yes.

I'm looking at Alaska for summer of 2023...I realize they just came out today, but it is showing a lot of rooms gone already. Is that typical? Do they release them a little at a time, or are travel agencies taking them up? I want to book early to get my preferred ship and room location, but I also want to wait until everything is released.

I don’t think they would send a old ship like that to a big ticket destination like Alaska.

Unless it’s just a stepping stone to Australia or something.

We just booked Ovation Vancouver to Hawaii on a whim! It would be a bucket list trip for sure, just have to make the timing work. Plenty of time to plan for that right?! 

 

I tried to compare with the Quantum sailing (similar, but one night less) and I keep getting the oops something went wrong message. 

 

Any advice on which of those itineraries is better? We've been on Ovation before, but not Quantum. Wish the trip would load so I can compare rooms and prices!

Pfff I told you they would be late this year! Thanks for the info!

And based on prior deployments, these aren't necessarily the dates bookings will actually open.

Does it really matter who was or wasn't right?

I don’t know why there is an issue with just the Ovation loading. I know you can call and book, but I want to look around. I’m on the 3 legs prior, but this one is a bit pricier than than the 2022 leg they canceled, and 1 day less.

She spent quite a bit of time in Cadiz - they may have spruced her up to look a bit better - we'll find out in 3 weeks.

I found Symphony of the seas european 2023 itinerary on a TA site.

From 7/5/2023 until 22/10/2023 it will do this itinerary:

Barcelona-Palma De Mallorca-Marseille-La Spezia-Civitavecchia-Naples-At Sea-Barcelona

Well now the only Hawaii trip at the end of the 2023 Alaskan season that shows up is Ovation. Glad that's the one I booked lol. I just want to compare with the Quantum cruise.

That's the standard 7-night western Med itinerary so it's possible the TA has jumped the gun but I'd be very surprised if it was any different from that.

They wouldn't have searched so much to find the ship and the exact date. I doubt it. Also they have revelead in the past exclusively information early. Not the first time 😉

Kool, happy for you! Though this is Common with Cruises released for day or two, pulled and then posted permanently later. Not sure why, some say it's test load but happens almost every yr.

If Enchantment is replacing Serenade, where will Serenade be cruising until the world cruise in Dec 2023?  

 

According to port bookings for 2023, 12 night Med out of Barcelona.
