New schedules - any thoughts/inside info?

[gordylad]

Now that we are approaching the release of new schedules for 19/20 anyone got any thoughts/inside info on what we might expect?

Just got an email that the Eclipse is going to Alaska

[CHEZMARYLOU]

The booking schedule I found on another site has Eclipse, Solstice and Millennium in Alaska.

[Alakegirl]

Regarding Eclipse, going to Alaska, the question remains will it do so immediately after coming from South America? That would be on April 8 which seems far too early for Alaska. So what will happen in the interim? We will find out soon.

3 ships in Alaska.........surely not.

... and none going to Glacier Bay. I won't take another X to Alaska until they get the permit to go into Glacier Bay. I think 2020 is the year that it is open to cruise lines to bid for the permit/license to go into Glacier Bay.

so far I can only find Millenium in Hong Kong 2020.....any other schedules out there?

There have been 3 ships in Alaska for a few years now: Solstice, Millennium and I think Infinity. Millennium's itinerary is our favorite.

They've had 3 ships for many years in Alaska - Millenium, Infinity and Solstice.

Waiting for Panama Canal cruises for Spring of 2019 and Canada/New England for Fall of 2019.

so it used to be two M class out of Vancouver and one S class out of Seattle. If they are replacing Infinity with Eclipse, where will it sail from?

[cruisestitch]

Vancouver

[CHEZMARYLOU]

Eclipse round trip from Vancouver, Solstice rt from Seattle and Millennium will debut in Alaska after her Celebrity Revolution make over.

The schedule posted should be thought of as a general guide only. X is known to frequently "edit" it. Any thoughts on release dates, ships and itineraries for transatlantic and transpacific voyages?

Methinks Pacific Coastal cruises or maybe the return of 15 Night Hawaii roundtrips from San Diego? 2 anyway with a one week Pacific Coastal?
