When will early 2024 cruises be released?

Considering booking a Disney cruise for March break 2024
When are the Disney cruises usually released?
Is it worth booking right when they open?

Based on historical data, we are passed the usual booking window launch for early 2024 dates :

They could therefore be announced at any time. If you are set on sailing at a specific time, you should book as early as possible since prices go up as the cruises fill up. Most late booking deals are restricted and used to fill the last few remaining staterooms. DCL has a small fleet and usually sail with all staterooms sold.

Thanks!
Do they usually give a few days warning or do people just keep checking regularly?

There is typically an announcement usually on a Wednesday or Thursday that new schedule released and that booking for Platinum starts on one day (typically a Monday), Gold the next and so on. If you have never cruised Disney before then typically you wait until Thursday of that week.

But again this is the usual process but they are behind on releasing new schedules. So anything goes.

Both these boards and Scott Sanders’ Disney Cruise Line Blog (no allfiation to DCL) will post lots of great info. I usually follow both and read both for the info I want. Good luck! And I would book as early as you can.

It would be great if there is a surprise itinerary in the upcoming spring 2024 release.

Adventures by Disney has already had some new itineraries down in the southern hemisphere. I wondered why those weren't being run by DCL.

The ABD tours that are on ships are on much smaller ships than DCL has. My guess is that the ABD Southern Hemisphere tours were planned well before DCL announced cruises in that area. They apparently run year-round, so while some might work before or after a DCL cruise, most wouldn't.

I hope they offer some 3-night Bahamian cruises that are not on the Wish.
