when do we start speculating about summer 2017 itineraries?

[thinkoflaura]

We booked onboard to secure the discount for our next cruise, which we'd love to take in early june 2017... in fact, the terms of our discount are that we must set sail on or before june 12th 2017... so we know our options will be limited, especially considering the blocked dates and if we want another European itinerary...

So when do those summer itineraries come out? It looks like we booked our June 2015 cruise in March 2014, and I think that was the first available day for Silver... does that seem about right?

Summer 2017 will be out in March 2016.

Before that in October the Winter>Spring 2017 will come out.

There will be European Cruises in summer 2017,

We're sailing in February 2016 with the hopes of putting down a "dummy" deposit for a European/TA cruise in 2017.

• I really hope they bring back the 5 night Double Dips for summer 2017

What blocked dates?

Some dates are blocked from the 10% OBB discount.

Apparently, there are a bunch of prime sail dates each year that are not eligible for OBC discounts. Here are the ones for 2015 and 2016...

Disney Fantasy
2015 - 12/19, 12/26
2016 – 3/19, 3/26

Disney Dream
2015 - 6/26, 7/1, 7/5, 11/23, 11/27, 12/24, 12/28, 12/31
2016 – 3/21, 3/25, 07/01

Disney Wonder
2015 - 6/29, 10/16, 11/20, 12/24, 12/28
2016 -3/20, 3/25, 05/15

Disney Magic
2015 - 6/29, 7/10, 11/25, 12/23, 12/27, 12/31
2016 – 3/20, 3/24, 06/05, 07/13, 08/01

So for us, between the end of the school year and the 6/12/17 deadline we have to use our OBC, we'll be lucky if we have one European sailing in 2017 to use our OBC.
