Any guesses when Fall/Winter 2023 might drop?

[JOY K]

I want to book for November 2023. It is usually already out, but the delay of Summer dates has pushed those back a little I think. I just want to make sure I have my deposit ready when they come out. I know nobody actually knows. I'm just looking for some speculation.

I have no idea, but hopefully soon. I want to compare Bermuda cruises with NCL for fall 2023. Probably will still go with NCL because husband has said that he will pay for the entire cruise fare if we go on one of their big ships with Go Kart tracks

I can’t imagine it will be soon since they are still having website issues and they just did summer.

 

[TxT365]

Thinking mid-June, but that's completely speculation based on what they did last year.

When they do open these, are they available to Platinum first, then Gold then Silver? And what is the interval between the levels?

Here was the priority booking schedule for Summer 2023 sailings:

When to Book:

• Monday, May 2, 2022: Platinum Castaway Club Members, Club 33, and Golden Oak Club Members
• Tuesday, May 3, 2022: Gold Castaway Club Members
• Wednesday, May 4, 2022: Gold Castaway Club Members (not a typo – it’s 2 days for Gold!)
• Thursday, May 5, 2022: Silver Castaway Club Members, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Adventures by Disney Insiders
• Friday, May 6, 2022: Silver Castaway Club Members, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Adventures by Disney Insiders (not a typo – it’s 2 days for Silver, DVC, & ABD!)
• Monday, May 9, 2022: ALL GUESTS

It looks like Summer dates start the beginning of May 2023; so roughly one year out from the beginning of that season.

The Summer listings go through the last week in September 2023.

My best guess: booking for October 2023 and beyond (a few months) might start this October.

I hope you are wrong, but I bet you are right. I really want to invite a friend to go with us, but it is hard to plan and commit without even a close estimate of price, especially when I will have to book right away for the best possible pricing.

You can guesstimate costs if this is a routine itinerary. Look at this year’s prices, add 5-25% and you should have a pretty good ballpark. I don’t think I am exaggerating. The only unknown is prices on the Wish, as this November is still priced for inaugural sailings.

We booked a November cruise for Nov 4, 2020 and 2021 - we Eventually sailed April 25, 2022. All of them were fairly low season rates. And did not change that much after opening day prices.

Unfortunately, we are looking at the Wish and 5-25% is a big enough window that closer 5% she will definitely be able to go and closer to 25%, I don't even know that I can go with my placeholder discount. I get that a Disney Cruise is the kind of luxury level of "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it", but our first trip was so amazing, it is worth saving for. I compared September to September to get a guesstimate, but there was not a huge jump and I'm hoping that pattern holds. I don't know if gas prices for cars will even impact the Wish or any ship bc I am not an expert of Cruise Ship fuel, but I have still been holding my breath and afraid that the other shoe will drop with a huge price increase.

We're doing our first NCL cruise to Alaska on the Encore in 2023. Can't wait to try the race cars, the laser tag, and escape room! We did an Alaska cruise on DCL in 2014 and loved it, but are ready to try another line. I have my eye on Bermuda on NCL if we enjoy our cruise with them. Has your dh seen their Prima ship? It looks amazing!

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked but I can’t find it anywhere.

Does anyone know when the next set of dates (Nov / Dec 2023) go on sale?

Thanks !

 

[anricat]

It's anyone's guess. They just announced summer 2023 and it was a pretty late announcement. If you're interested in looking at the past announcements, DCL Blog keeps a record that might help you to gauge: https://disneycruiselineblog.com/cruise-planning/itineraries/itinerary-announcement-history/

I have merged @stal's post with @JOY K's to keep this all in 1 place.

Nope, we are all just guessing, lol. I hope soon!

 

[TxT365]

Is it possible the Summer 2023 dates were delayed due to the Wish's timeframe was unsure? I'm hoping that means the Fall 2023 could be dropped at any time!

I know the “if you have to ask…”. But also have learned it’s not always true.

I don’t expect to see a 25% jump in a year, but it can be significant.

My niece sailed AK in 2018. $6000 cabin (I think that is after placeholder 10% discount. Same cabin and week, in 2022, $10K. Yep, nearly 50% more off posted fares. Yikes!

Hope they offer something within your budget.

Add me to the list of waiting for the next release. Looking for a 9+ night eastern Caribbean or southern Caribbean or maybe a 3/4 b2b on the wish. I have 2 placeholders waiting to be assigned to a date(s)

In the past the dates were released in May. I’m hoping for a July release.

 

[ArielRae]

Still hoping for a release soon.

Can you book the placeholders on-line or do you have to call? Thanks.
