2007 NCL cruises

[ochreman]

Anyone know when NCL usually releases their cruise schedules for the next year? I am looking for 2007 dates.

NCL has already released the itineraries up to late April 2007.

 

They probably will not release itineraries for cruises after April 2007 until March or April this year (12-13 months in advance). At the point they post more cruises this spring, they'll post another 6 months worth (up to 18 months in advance).

 

Many are awaiting their posting, you're not alone.

 

As of today, here's how far in advance you can book cruises on other cruise lines.

Carnival up to April 2007

Celebrity up to April 2007

Cunard up to April 2007

Disney up to April 2007

Holland America up to April 2007

Princess up to April 2007

Royal Caribbean up to April 2007

 

I hope you're seeing a pattern......

 

During early May and late September, many cruise ships are repositioned from the Caribbean and Baja cruises to Alaska and European cruises and back. So, what you normally will see posted during the winter season are the rest of this winter's cruises, this summer's cruises, and next winter's cruises. What you will normally see posted this summer are the rest of this summer's cruises, next winter's cruises, and next year's summer cruises.

 

Very rarely will you see itineraries posted for ships two years (24 months) in advance.

On midnight March 1 Disney released for booking all Carribean sailings through end of 2007. (The word is Disney is sailing in the Mediterranean this summer and those summer 7 night sailings have not been released; there is supposed to be some big announcent coming up.)

My guess - they intend to make a big slash around the Apprentice show on the 27th. Expect new itineraries including those for the Pearl.
