When do points for DCL come out?

We are going to take the 4 day cruise next Feb when do the point charts come out? I kind of remember last year around Feb or March

I beleive last year it was not until April. The reason I recall this is we had to book by April to get our castaway club benifits from our December cruise (sadly they no longer have them) and I believe the list came out a few days after we went ahead and booked for December again. So that would be mid-april.

Do I just book it at 11 months and then they adjust the points or do I have to wait until the new charts are out.

In the past, I made my reservation at 11 months out (Feb for Jan of following year). Then sometime in May MS would call me and deduct points. The trick is allowing for the unknown extra points - I just take the current years res. amt. and add 10%. (The increase has never been this much) If you don't allow enough points you also can also adjust your ressie paying cash for someone, or lower your category - but I think you might be subject to the 75 dollar fee again. Not sure about that. Anyway, I've done it twice this way and had no problems.
