Alaska 2025 bookings open when?

[TKinRock]

RCL has bookings open into 2026 for other cruises, but Alaska 2025 has not opened yet. Any idea, from past experience when it will?

They have one ship for 2026, Icon, which is an anomoly compared to prior years. 

 

Look for Alaska in November or Decemver.

Ok, fair point, but 2025 is widely open, why is Alaska so different?

Royal and Celebrity are the only ones not open for 2025 in Alaska. I wonder how much in bookings they are losing. NCL, Princess, and HAL have been open. Don't know, or care about Carnival.

2025 is not widely open.  Sailings are only released through April of 2025.  Same thing every year

They are obviously not concerned as they have followed this release schedule for years.

There are many itineraries that are not open for 2025.  We just have to be patient.
