Booking a Cruise for 2005

[giraffenana]

My husband and I want to do a Baltic Cruise on the Dream in 2005 to celebrate our 40th anniversary. I believe in one of the postings on this board someone said they were booked on this ship/cruise in 2005, but whenever I try to search for it on the NCL website or others such as crucon, cruiseone, etc. I can't get any info for 2005. They say that there are no cruises matching my criteria. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or where I can look? We are anxious for some information.

The online sites don't have prices yet, therefore they're not listing those cruises yet.

Book now with NCL so you get the cabin you want and then when the prices hit the online services, if you find a better deal transfer the booking.

Thanks herb & Mrsbooger for the info. I wondered if that might be the case that the on-line cruise sites just didn't have the prices yet. I have trouble on the NCL site also since I don't know the dates I want to cruise, because I don't know when the cruises start in 2005. It is frustrating. We did get an e-mail offer for this May for an Oceanview for $1099, so I am just "dying" because that is about 1/2 price of the inside rooms normally. Just can't go this year however, unless a similar offer comes up for June. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] Thanks again.

I'm looking for an Alaskan cruise for May or June, 2005. Anyone know what ship is sailing to Alaska next year? When can I make reservations?
Got a balcony cabin on PO Aloha for Valentine week. Guess we lucked out by making our reservations on PO America over a year in advance.

I spoke with NCL a couple of weeks ago and was told they would "probably" start booking for the 2005 Alaska season "sometime" in May.

Life is too short to be unhappy!
