OBB Blackout Dates

[robandkelly13]

Hi! We have an upcoming cruise in July, and we're thinking of booking a cruise over Christmas. It would be nice to get the OBB discount for the Christmas cruise, but I'm assuming that these would fall under the OBB blackout dates. Does anyone know? I've never had to deal with OBB blackout dates since we typically cruise during the summer months. When do the blackout dates typically occur, and does anyone know specifically when they are for the dates currently released?

Thanks!

Thanks for this. I spent a lot of time trying to find this information.

Thank you for posting too! It looks like we were on the same time table.

Also wanted to add that the blacked out dates don't qualify for the 10% discount however you would still receive the $100 or $200 OBC (depending on length of the cruise) if you used a placeholder/OBB booking for the holiday sailing. So if you are sailing and can book an OBB it still is nice to have the $100 or $200 OBC added
