Baked Alaska Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 No, RCCL. It's not. May, June, or July 2021 is not available for Alaska! Silly interns!! DublinFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DublinFC Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 @Baked Alaska I jumped on as soon as I saw the email to look at pricing for later in 2021 and nadda. I am seeing the same thing. I thought maybe I would need to sign in and still nothing. Have to love fake news....

We will need to wait for 2021-2022 sailings which include everything from May 01st 2021 until end of April 2022. From what I can gather they just mean that the 2020-2021 up until end of April are now complete. Ex. ships like Empress and Majesty that weren't fully scheduled until end of April now are.

This would make sense save the fact that Alaska sailings do not start until May and the email included Alaska (maybe just 2020?)! It's that silly intern up to their hijinks, again!

Kathleen Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 So when is the time to start looking for Summer 2021 Sailings? Any help is needed. Can’t decide if I want to return to Alaska, which I absolutely loved, or look at Norway sailings. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello @DublinFC. @Sharla at MEI got back with me and she couldn't find anything either about 2021 Alaska sailings. She was looking for some other sailings, too, and they were also not available. I think the intern was working in the "email the deployments announcement regardless of status" department that day. DublinFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for the rest of the year for 2021 too. we have a sailing for April, but if a good price came up for Alaska I would be tempted to change sailings. My wife and I talked and I think we are going to look at cruising each Dec if possible. So I am eagerly awaiting the end if 2021 schedule for RC and NCL. There are a few things on NCL (please don't throw stuff at me ) I really enjoy too so will have to compare pricing and the extras before I make a final decision.

PG Cruiser Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I’ve been looking at sailings around March-April 2021. I don’t see lower prices at all, in fact they’re higher than 2019-2020 prices. Bearing in mind the oft-repeated advice to book early, does that mean those prices will still go up?

I am going on a 10 day on Serenade in Jan 2020, and Jan 2021 an 11 day on Vision. I think this will be cruising in Jan/ Feb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that the prices on release day for the highly sought itineraries (such as Alaska) and cabin classes (Star Class) are the lowest that they tend to be. It's almost as if they take a guess on what the market will bear and then nudge up prices from there. When I suggest booking early, I'm suggesting immediately when the new itinerary is released.

I was able to reprice our itinerary for our 2019 Southbound and save about $800 or so. However, when RCCL finally, really REALLY releases the bookings for Alaska 2021, we will book first day and reprice and reprice and reprice (hopefully).

Oooh, then I’m really going to start checking. I thought on another thread, it was said those sailings come out in the fall. If that is so it should be in the next month or so. Any truth to this?

JLMoran Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 @Kathleen, the majority of itineraries for the coming 2021-22 season should start rolling out some time in November, if past predicts future. @Matt always posts an item on the main blog as soon as he gets word of the actual release schedule, so start keeping your eyes peeled in the coming weeks.
