April-in-NC Posted March 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I thought RCI was supposed to release the 2011 Alaska itineraries today. I looked but I don't see anything yet. Has anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted March 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I believe they are scheduled to come out some time this week, but not necessarily today. I think the last batch came out on the Wednesday of the week they were supposed to, so that might be the best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April-in-NC Posted March 22, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks! I'm waiting on the itineraries and initial prices to see if I can swing an Alaskan cruise next summer as a belated 30th birthday present to myself. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemylab Posted March 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I would also expect you would see them on Wednesday as the last two releases also happened to be on those days. I am eaglerly awaiting the Caribbean release...so I know what you are going through! Hopefully the prices and itineraries will be good and you can book your birthday cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the prices and itineraries will be good and you can book your birthday cruise :) I was browsing through Caribbean itineraries this morning, and they had them all the way out to 2012. Probably not all of them; probably just the ones they REALLY want to push, like Allure and Oasis. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are waiting to see what the itineraries are for the Serenade and Jewel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotandtamcruzn4fun Posted March 24, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Since today could be the day- does anyone know if they release the schedules in the morning or afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy52 Posted March 24, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Just called and inquired about 2011 Alaska southbound schedule and was told it hasn't been released yet. Was told to keep checking back daily. Anyone have better luck than me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April-in-NC Posted March 24, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wonder if the reduction in the Alaska head tax is causing the delays? I'm not sure when the reduction is going to go into effect, but if it starts immediately RCI may be considering adding another ship to Alaska for 2011. If that is the case I'm excited, but I want to know what my options are NOW!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other factors than just that at play in the Alaska Market. We will be in Alaska (for the 17th year) this summer and will try to gauge what the mood of the people are about that reduction.

Mike&Nancy Posted March 24, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ugh! :( At least today I forced myself to walk away and get some things done, other than hitting the refresh button every 10 seconds, lol. :rolleyes: Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3DSNVA Posted March 25, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have been hitting refresh allllll day! It's just sick isn't it! Oh well, my momma always said "the early bird always gets the worm!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going crazy waiting. DH came home from work and asked if I sat in front of the computer ALL DAY -- told him no, I did take a "chocolate bon-bon" break every hour. :) Remember, "good things come to those that wait." Here's to a better tomorrow. Need to put some eye drops in --- my eyes are so dried out from starting at the computer screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobecool Posted March 25, 2010 #23 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have a question: someone said that Princess is better on their Alaska itinerary than RCCL because Princess is the only one authorized to Glacier Bay, is that true? If so, why you guys want RCCl to Alaska but not Princess? I'm also looking for Alaska cruise in 2011. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DSNVA Posted March 25, 2010 #24 Share Posted March 25, 2010 In my case, personal preference based on itinerary...I have done inside passage before with Glacier Bay so I am interested in Southbound from Seward with Hubbard Glacier and Icy Straight Point this time.

Thank you for your reply so quick. So, the point is Glacier is kinda must in Alaska cruise, right? If so, for the first time Alaskan cruiser, Princess is the only one we'd better choose, am I right?
