Historically it is mid- late June. DCL might also delay for a bit since they are trying to get people to book for this fall but that is pure speculation on my part.

We are now junish. It should be here. Royal carribean released them like 4 months ago.

Disney management clearly dont know what they are doing. Hire me. I will fix you guys up and make you a heap of money.

Any day now? Wish they would hurry up. Hoping to change my Feb 2026 Hawaii the Vancouver to something else in the fall.

I’m sure it will be coming in the next few weeks, but honestly, I’m not sure it does DCL a lot of good to get them out right now when they have ships that they’re trying to fill in September and August of this year.

The people who really want to put down deposits for 2026 2027 are going to do it as soon as the cruises come out even if that’s in July. But the delay might cause people to be like, “ Well prices are really good for those 2025 Wish sailings. Maybe we should just go ahead and book one of those.”

It seems like releasing itineraries too soon would just cannibalize their own market right now. Why do you think it would be better for them to release them sooner rather than later?

As you mentioned, the other cruise lines have already beat them to it so at this point, they’re not going to lose anything else by waiting.

Getting deposits sooner for later sailings I suppose. Only really helps if they need $ immediately though, which I doubt. Unless the incentive for folk to convert their placeholders to sailings this summer isn't doing its job.

I'm interested to see what they do with the Magic and Wonder after the Alaska season. They've never had two ships in the Pacific so there's not really a precedent that you can point to.

Wish, Treasure, and Destiny will probably not see many changes. Disney also has some flexibility with the Dream and Fantasy; I think one of them will sail out of Galveston.

Sounds like one ship will be sailing from Southern California full time and the other will likely go off to Australia

Or they book the other cruise lines instead of waiting. Some of us pre planners really struggle with the waiting. Have nearly clicked a royal carribean cruise 3 times now while waiting.

If dcl send the womder to australia again it will be the dumbest decision ever. They may as well throw money into the sea. It must be the magic to australia which means wonder to california.

Or a different type of vacation. There have been two times we were sure we were cruising DCL, itineraries were delayed, and the kids mentioned a different adventure and we switched gears as we hadn't booked yet.

We do find it frustrating how late DCL releases compared to other lines and planning. We almost never fly Southwest anymore for part of the same reason. They don't release flights as early as other airlines and we tend to want to finalize plans.

That being said, we're really hoping for some interesting and new itineraries given all the new ships online.

That's my prediction as well.

Maybe they are more aware of what they are doing than people give them credit for. They have a strategy that works.

The Wonder is showing on the Sydney port schedule for Oct 2026. And the date of her arrival there pretty much tracks with her last Alaskan cruise in Vancouver (and then allowing for time to get to Hawaii and then the south Pacific). Speculation on my part obviously but it does look like it's the Wonder heading back down under....(And I agree, they should send the Magic down under).
