When will MSC release its Fall 2014 Mediterranean itineraries for booking? Thank you!

Early in 2014.

Thank you! Wow! That is shockingly late! :(

[allisons]

This is ridiculous! Every other cruise line has these itineraries up, including Costa. I called MSC last month and asked when they'd be up and they said they were working on them and they'd be up within a month. That was more than a month ago.

They are always the last to release there intineraries.

Why? And this much later than the others?

They do it every year.

Then why did they tell me they're coming out so soon? When can I realistically expect them?

Really?! I called again today and she said not for a while, not until fall. She said that they don't even have this summer out yet. ?????

No problem! Thanks anyway!

Med 2014 will be autumn this year at the earliest, perhaps later before all itineraries are finalised.

Ugh! That's ridiculous! Thanks!

You need to bear in mind that the Italian Market is the most significant for these sailings and Southern Europeans tend not to want to book so far in advance. They've not had their 2013 summer holidays yet, so won't be thinking of 2014 yet.
