does anyone know when the 2013 cruise dates will be announced ?
The cast member at Expo said probably Spring 2012 before point release. He said worked on new locations but no hints where
On August 8th on the Dream the lady at the rebooking desk said "this Fall, September or October". I was surprised when she said September. I am rooting for September!! October isn't too far away either.
If you book a 3 night dummy date, then want to switch over and book a 7 night cruise, do you get the added incentives (OBC) that come with the 7 night cruise or are you stuck with the 3 night OBC's?
yeah!!!When I booked onboard the Dream August 5, CM Autumn told me that when I switch to 7 night I will get the additional OBC.
Really hoping for October as well.
So how does the first day of booking typically go down? I am wondering how much advance notice there will be, as I want to ensure I book as soon as possible for the best price.
Also will the pricing be announced ahead of time or is it only when you can make the reservation that you can see the price?
thanks
I don't remember exact dates, but you can go back to the opening day threads for 2012 and get exact information, but this is what I remember:
The Magic, Wonder, Fantasy and Dream opened for part of 2012 in October-ish. These were all just regular itineraries, nothing special. Later, maybe a month later (don't quote me) Hawaii and the remainder of 2012 were announced and open for booking. I remember getting an e-mail from DCL one day before booking opened, but news was breaking here on the Dis about a week before that. Platinum and Gold could book first, then the next day bookings were open to everyone else. HTH!
