Release of Fall 2025 Caribbean Cruises

[SusieAV8R]

Does anyone have any thoughts regarding when X is likely to release cruises for fall 2025?  We are interested in cruising over Thanksgiving that year in the Caribbean or to Bermuda.

In the past, they start releasing in mid to late November (I think starting with Alaska) and continue into December.  This year though, most other cruise lines are way ahead of their historical release schedules (and many have already released fall of 2025) so I'm wondering if it will push Celebrity to release sooner.

They will have it out before there Black Friday sales, which is the same as all the other sales but generally around now to thanksgiving things will be released.

I'm surprised they haven't published a release schedule yet.  Royal Caribbean has, with their first batch of summer 2025 cruises (Alaska) being released next week.  I thought Celebrity was always a bit ahead of them.

Not Caribbean related - but wonder if anyone has any idea when more dates will be released for Celebrity sailings from Southampton?

 

The last Celebrity cruise advertised from Southampton is the 23 October 2024 Transatlantic repositioning. I really wish Celebrity would keep a vessel sailing from UK into the autumn / winter months with sailings to the Canaries and North Africa. If I want to do this in the cooler months I have to choose other cruise lines.

New deployments are rolled out in November and December

I heard Caribbean will be December 5th. Europe November 15th. Alaska, Australia November 28th. Asia December 12th. 

 

Edge-5 plans and name reveal November 7th.

 

Ascent ownership change November 8th.

Your observation of other cruise lines already having released this fall 2025 cruises matches mine; thus the question.

I will admit that with both Celebrity and Royal being so far behind the rest, Holland got the business for our next family cruise.  I can't say for sure we would have picked Celebrity or Royal if they had all released at the same time (we were looking at options on a lot of different lines), but we weren't willing to wait to compare them when we found something that we liked elsewhere.

This is what the schedule looked like last year and assume this years will be similar
