JasonL Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Although I've been cruising for 15 years, this is the first time I've been in a position to book multiple cruises a year. It's all I think about lately, and am excited for the roll out of the new schedule. Anyone else on the edge of their seat waiting for the bookings to be available? Hoping to find a few weekend sailings in 2020 out of seattle area. There aren't many short cruises up here, but I need some to help me make it through until my 7 night sailings in the much more weather desirable Caribbean!

jce2 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hey, I've only checked 8 times so far (today.....) It's not like I am impatient! JasonL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jce2 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 The current "sale" ends tonight. I am betting they won't release the new dates until after the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Bookings for Alaska are open, I already have a call into my TA to book the only 3 night available near me on Ovation out of Vancouver. Hope to look into the Hawaiian trips soon. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not available to book yet, but I’ll check back tomorrow. ☹ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I got the same message. I was going to just book on my own and transfer to the TA but the website doesnt seem to give option for refundable or not and I was too scared to roll the dice.

jce2 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 With 591 days until the trip, my wife and I spent the entire evening last night looking at details of Anchorage....so yeah, we are kind of excited. Already figured out where we want to stay and where we want dinner! Already have a rough idea what we want for excursions and knowing that they can fill fast I have bookmarked several tour companies and will monitor for when 2020 dates become available. Only thing I havent decided is if we ever want to try 2 excursions in one day.... JasonL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baked Alaska Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Opposite open-jaw. Open-jaw is either the Southbound or Northbound, that is, it starts at one port and ends at another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting term...so then you are doing a closed-loop in 2020 (Probably out of Seattle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of depends on when Major League Soccer is playing in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing all of the photos from the Alaska cruise I knew that I had to add it to the bucket list. On top of that the appeal of doing it on a Quantum class ship, which I have never sailed either, is too much to pass up. Just imagine those Alaskan views from Two70! Can't wait to see the live blog on that sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those should be even more amazing since you'll be above the ship and clear of all the superstructure. cruiselife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time ever I've heard a British use the term "reckon". Must be a little bit country. J_Keeble and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
