NYYScott Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 While onboard Wonder last week, there was an offer to put a deposit on a future cruise and save up to $600, based on cabin type and length of cruise. Additional limitation are that you must book within the next 2 months to realize the full amount of savings. Otherwise, you simply get a reduced deposit. The NextCruise person didn't know for sure, but said that she thought that Europe 2025 would be released close to September, My recollection is that these are announced closer to December. Thoughts?

Ryan79 Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Based on past releases, sometime around November/December 2023. Unfortunately there is no set day that cruises are released. They will just magically appear one day. JohnK6404 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Mike Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 I wish they were a little more flexible with the NextCruise offer. I am like you where I am cruising next week and would like to book another cruise, but I want a cruise that has not been released yet. Just give me until the 2025 cruises come out Ryan79 and NYYScott 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda R Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 No set time on when cruises are released to book, but summer of 2025 will probably be out in the fall, usually November. Based on other years. I am waiting for spring transatlantic to be available. I cruise this coming October and wishing it will be available then, but I have doubts. They are currently booking for first 4 months of 2025, but not all cruises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to their new program for more specific details. Basically, you get a reduced deposit if you place a deposit for a future cruise (which doesn't have to be decided upon while onboard). You have two months to make a decision and book to get the On Board Credit. If you pass that time horizon, you still can take advantage of the reduced deposits. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/NextCruise/19067112_NextCruise_BookNowBookLater_FAQs.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
