How early can you book your cruise?

We want to go on another cruise November, 2004.

When do you think I'll be able to book it?

I've tried doing a search and looking at a few pages here but couldn't find the answer.

Thanks so much!!!:D

They are now booking into early 2004 at DCL. So I would estimate about a year and a half ahead of time. If you work with a Travel Agent, they can probably notify you when you can reserve. If you are booking through DVC however, you must adhere to booking 11 months in advance. Good luck! :)

I just checked DCL and they are taking ressies for 4/2004 now. So figure a 7 month wait until they start taking Nov. ressies.
Hope you can wait that long.

Book as soon as it becomes available. The earlier you book, the more you save. I booked about a month ago for a cruise 12/03, and saved $2200! If you don't have a TA yet, Josephine from www.ourlaughingplace.com is really fantastic.

Bon Voyage!

What cruise are you going on in 12/03? We are thinking about booking the 12/27/03 7 day eastern cruise. I can't think of a better way to welcome in the new year!

We booked 26 mos. in advance and rec'd excellent discounts.
:cool:

I wish there was a way to have Dreams Unlimited contact me when I can book in Nov 2004, but I'm sure they are too busy to start doing that.

I couldn't find an email for them anywhere anyway.

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'll check again in Jan or Feb of next year.

sdoane- we're on the 12/6 Western. I am sure that you'll have a blast on a New Year's cruise!!!

Gee -- and I thought that I was the only one that planned so far in advance!;)

I know, I know. My husband thinks I'm crazy! I'm in the process of planning our next 3 trips to WDW! One this October (almost all set on this one), next one December 2003 and then the next with a Disney cruise included November 2004.

It's because we joined DVC, I'm figuring out how I'll be using all of our points!

My husband tells me he can't think even think about next week let alone next year or the year after when I ask him his opinion!

Glad I'm not completely alone, though!

Thanks for all the help!

I have booked April 2004 during sping break (The week of the Boston Marathon/Patriot's day) and I can't believe what I am paying for a 7 day cruise! I got a 100.00 ship board credit for booking during June from DU and a 200.00 discount from DU as well plus the early booking credit. The price has already gone up! For a cat 6 it will cost only 5200, and this is during a school vacation! (That's for 4 - 2 adults/2 kids) and airfare from Boston

I can't wait!!! 647 days to go!
