Release dates for 2019

I am trying to determine when the cruise lines (any of them) typically release travel dates for the following year. I am currently looking at Caribbean for 2019 and Hawaii for 2020. RC and NCL have Caribbean through April 2019 and I'm looking at June. NCL has Hawaii through May 2020 and I'm looking at September.

Does anyone have a rough guess at when they may release these dates?

For 2020 I don't think any cruise lines have that.

For 2019 you should be seeing some of them.

This will vary by cruise line.

Try the last quarter of 2017.

RC will release new cruises in the March/April 2018 timeframe.

2019 probably Sept or Oct 2017

of course it will depend on the cruise line

Thanks, everyone!!

So, we are almost to December and I'm STILL not seeing any June 2019 availability for Bermuda on NCL, RC, HAL, or Carnival. Is this normal?

Should be soon but the focus for them is selling 2018 cruises.

RC has released some 2020 cruises already, ahead of their normal schedule.

Wow, a cruise line that we sail who normally gets itineraries out early hasn't released them.

What itineraries has RCI published? I looked at their web site but couldn't find any but maybe I wasn't looking at it correctly?

I looked at HAL, RC, Celebrity, and NCL and none of them had June 2019...at least not for Bermuda.

That is correct.

No one has Bermuda yet.

Is it usually one of the last ones released?

Yes, that is correct.

We have sailed this itinerary several times and that has been our experience. :)

I finally saw the first 2019 Bermuda cruise on Celebrity. I know you didn't ask about them but thought of you since I remember you asking about Bermuda. This one is for early July 2019.

For Princess the announcement is usually made in March of the previous year (i.e., March 2018).

Princess is scheduled to have the balance of at least the summer/fall season of 2019 on December 14. The others should follow suit.

Just saw this info for 2019 Alaska cruises on the Princess board: http://static.cdn.responsys.net/i2/responsysimages/content/princessus/PC_2019AlaskaCruiseCruisetourReferenceFlyer_11_2017_FINAL-s.pdf. There's no date as to when they will be available for booking (they aren't yet; I checked).
