HAL 2025/2026 Itineraries?

[pa_snowbird]

Does anyone know when HAL will release their itineraries for the end of 2025 / early 2026?
They have some for Alaska, Europe, South America, but nothing else.  They seem to be late compared to other cruise lines.

We don't think that HAL will have many 2026 cruises on their web site before the fist qtr of 2024

Not sure what is holding them back.  Princess and Celebrity got itineraries out to the 1st quarter of 2026 for weeks already.
Here is Princess:

and Celebrity:

HAL is always later in posting their future cruises.

I'm hoping they are looking for different ports of call for 2026.  The standard ports are getting too crowded with ships and just how many times can you go to St. Maarten and walk the 2 or 3 blocks that comprise that port.  Now that Nassau has replaced Key West it is not unusual to have 5 or 6 ships in port on any given day.  They keep building bigger ships and overloading ports.  I'm expecting more places to either ban ships or restrict the number of ships.  Maybe, just maybe, HAL is looking for alternatives for future seasons.

HAL needs to have a new release page on their website.  It is very difficult to discover new itineraries unless you have a time or region specifically chosen.

Curious how many new, available ports in the Caribbean you think there are?

I would like to see them in the western Caribbean and Texas but that is simply for my personal convenience
