Fall 2026 itineraries

[asgur5]

It might be time to start a post of “pick the date and time that DCL releases the itineraries”. Would be interesting to see how close someone’s guess is

3 weeks ago I would of said the next day..

Now Im guessing December 10th.

We are planning on doing the long Greece cruise in 2027 and really hoping it is not the Wish also!

Glad to know about the storage issues with the Wish. We've only sailed on Magic, Wonder, and Fantasy thus far. We'll be going on the Dream next August for the Members Cruise. But the thing we're really waiting for is a Med cruise with the Greek isles. We tried to do this twice before, but COVID ... so now, we are planning once more and the family has grown by two new daughters-in-law, so it should be amazing!

Better to have no expectations and be suprised, than have expectations/hope and be disappointed.

This is my life rule, I stick to it 90% of the time. 5 of the other 10% reminds me why I have the rule, and the last 5% allows the optimists to be able to say "see, told you so, just be positive in life"

Exactly!

August 12 or the 14th. There’s already some weird rumors that one of the booking windows will be open August 19 which correlates to August 12 or 14th itineraries. (I’m leaning towards the 14th.)

This gives DCL enough time to get some bookings done before D23 and then hopefully get more bookings after announcements.

It also lets the promotion that is currently out get a few more eyeballs this week before itineraries drop next week.

So, I spoke with my brother who knows the cousin of someone who is acquainted with someone else who may know someone who may or may not be working the phone lines at DCL and may or may not be related to Mickey Mouse and they said that for sure the Fall 2026 / Winter 2027 itineraries will be released at some point in time in the future

...and while this would not "interfere" with anything, the Destiny float out is scheduled for this Saturday... so this just allows DCL to better sequence the news cycle, especially if there is some sort of press release regarding Australia/NZ

Yes! I forgot about the Float Out! It does spin things in a more positive manner for DCL

There is discussion elsewhere that someone was told by a DVC rep that their understanding is that DCL is transitioning to only having 2 releases per year, and the next release won't occur until Oct. A few others said they heard the same thing, but didn't give a source.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????????????

This thread will be at 300 pages by then.
Geez that’s basically a year from the current end of itineraries? If that’s the case there is going to be a lot of unhappy people who will most likely book other cruise lines

Noooooo.....please don't let this be true ! I'm still hoping for no later than August 14!

Honestly I don’t think even Disney knows when they’re announcing right now. I think the clues that Australia cruises are over are pointing to the reason for the delay. They aren’t announcing itineraries because they don’t have them finalized.

If the rumor is true that Disney isn’t returning to Australia/New Zealand that poses a big scheduling challenge for DCL. This is very late in the game to be making arrangements with ports and planning an entire season for a whole ship. I doubt they want to be waiting until barely a year out to release the itineraries. That’s not going to help their sales but their hands are tied.

 

[DCLMP]

Okay? The point is, DCL is not thinking that, so the person you accused of being obsessed is not, just thinking as DCL is. If you think DCL should change their business practices, contact them.

Well they are throwing out some 30% discounts. Maybe will soon get to 50%. I'm not too concerned with what DCL is thinking. I'm not married to them.

That would make more sense. It doesn't look like they are getting a lot of bookings in advance. That's how they run their resort operation price high and toss out discounts every quarter.

This has been my working theory as well... while there could be other contributing factors, this is a likely a major one.

Oh my gosh this must be 100% true. My neighbors Landscaper‘s mother-in-law‘s nail techs daughter has the same information!!! And she read it on Facebook so it must be true

So MSC is leaving Brooklyn in April. Just sayin'.
