Fall 2026 itineraries

[Kingoglow]

Booking early enables me to pay a set amount each month leading up to the PIF date and not have to pay for the cruise all at once.

Can't you simulate that experience by setting aside money in your banking account for your vacation?

I guess I don't understand why you necessarily need book early to do this.

At this point in time I’m pretty sure we should hear something by September 2026

Ha ha ha. Why didn’t I think of that one

In terms of PE (sorry deleted it from the quote) with 2 ships, I would guess something similar to PC. One 7 night sailings ship and One 3/4 night alternating ship. (Im likely wrong though)

It sure would be awesome to have a ship in PE do something different than two ships each doing 3, 4 and 5 nights.

Well, the Magic is on the Port Galveston schedule for 4, 5, and one 6 night sailings in Nov & Dec 26. So at least an additional night or 2 from what's currently offered. That could indicate at least 1 more Panama Canal. If it stays in port from then on, starting the year round from January 27 amd not later in the year, the 5/4 pattern will probably continue, though they could switch back to shorter or even do longer (though im not sure where they could go with 7 nights)

We did a 2022 7 night from Galveston that went to Falmouth, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

Maybe they will have new strategy… starting in Fall of 2026 you just pick a port, show up, and hope a DCL ship is there waiting on you. You then will find out where you are going once onboard. It will make us live on the edge!

In 2017 we did a 7night out of Galveston that went to Nassau, Castaway Cay, and Key West. I would do that again in a heart beat!

We have gone to a bit of a combo model recently on our end. We are booking the new ships which most likely won’t get discounted with a placeholder. For the original 4 ships that would most likely get a GTY or Florida Resident we will just save and book those shortly before sail date.

At this point, waiting for the release has become a hobby.

Same here but waiting for itineraries for 2027. I would have booked by now!

We are waiting for summer itineraries. Time to go back to Europe. Offering the Panama Canal in 2026 pushed it out another year.

Nice, they could be marketed as Schrödinger's cruises!

I am convinced now that the itineraries will come during the first week in September.
But only because I will be on a back to back cruise on the Dream that week.

And about planning for trips... I am on the plan way ahead team.
I have 2026 planned and booked. 2027 is planned and waiting on booking to open.
I am currently pre-planning 2028-2030.
I was looking at the south-pacific cruise from Hawaii to Sydney in 2028, but that is now out, so I am now looking into either a Med cruise or a tour of Japan instead.

We leave on the 11th for our B2B so I’m positive that’s the time frame
