Since they just opened up the latter part of 2005 a week or two ago, I would say that the first part of 2006 will be open up sometime this summer. I think I read somewhere that they usually open up about 18 months out.
I think they need to get the rest of the 2005 cruises up first (specifically the Magic from May - Sept 2005) before they can start posting 2006.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 2005 balance is posted in May 2004, after the DL 50th anniversary celebration announcement. Then a month or two later the early 2006 dates might start creeping up....
Gotta love the search function! I was about to post about 2006 date too?
I figured they need to announce the rest of 2005 before they move onto 2006. I was wondering if there is a chance they might open the beginning of 2006 at the same time that they announce the rest of 2005. But I guess if this is going to be a special announcement that they might wait to announce 2006 afterward! I guess I just have to keep watching like everyone else!
Me too. I usually book as soon as they open the even years. People think I'm crazy booking 18 months in advance. I have two friends who are waiting for the summer 2005 and I am trying to keep my eyes open for them. They are both teachers and don't want to go other than the summer time. I didn't realize that they had opened the fall of 2005--that is really strange.
I'm really hoping BF wont want his entire family to go...I dont know how I feel about that.
So, I'm hoping that maybe with any luck...I'll get a booking in the same room we were in and it will be reasonable...with a reasonable amount of time to save for spending...that is if BF doesnt want to do an alaskan cruise before another DCL...but he even said-he doesnt want to be on another ship...so we will see...
I think even years for DCL is a good plan! Maybe I'll stick to that!
I just called and DCL said that they have 7 nights Jan - May 7 and Sept -December available to book.
Don't know if that is helpful or not to any of you but I wanted to share.
