mbisson Posted April 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2005 At least they are for the Sun, Star and WIND. Yep, looks like the Wind is coming back to Alaska. So far, no other ships listed and I believe the Jewel is still scheduled for a relocation cruise to the NW in May (but I haven't checked to see if it's been changed). ALSO---so far no 10 or 11 day cruises. Hopefully we'll find another ship or two (Jewel and Spirit maybe-Hope-hope) listed in the next couple days. BTW-Star and Sun are scheduled for Seattle and the Wind for Vancouver. With the listing there now, we're considering the Sun in late Aug or early Sept, but I'm still hopeful something of 10 or 11 days comes up. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eleven Posted April 26, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2005 NCL will have 4 ships sailing Alaska in 2006. The 3 mentioned above, and the Jewel will take over the Dream's 10 & 11 day cruises. The Spirit will not return to Alaska next year (will be based in New York). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 26, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'd guess that the Jewel will be a lot higher priced than the Dream is this year (10&11) so I'll probably book the Sun soon. But I still wish the pricing would come out on the Jewel soon. It does makes sense to me that they would use their nicest ship there for the longer cruises instead of their oldest, smallest ship. jmo -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 26, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Darn, I looked a pricing for a couple different sailings last night and they've already gone up today (at least for the cabin cats we're considering). This is wicked! -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 27, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Late bookings on the Dream are big bargains now. I almost booked this when on the Dawn ,but decided the $1500pp charge more than I wanted to pay. :) Now much cheaper. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh I wish this summer would've worked for us. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eleven Posted April 27, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 27, 2005 All my previous information indicated what I posted earlier was correct, but now I am learning that it might be erroneous. I have suspicions on what might happen, but I am just going to wait & see what happens. Sorry if I caused any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 27, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Don't sweat it eleven. It's next years stuff anyway, and who knows...It could still work out that way. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I find it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 28, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I just checked again, and I find it on ncl.com. Enter search for a cruise, and then put in a date range and Alaska for a destination. Make sure you enter the date in the format they want (I reversed the day and month once and it got really confused) Let me know if that doesn't work for you. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil72 Posted April 29, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2005 On the NCL website click on destinations, then Alaska. When that comes up click on itineraries and some of them will be for the 2006 season. By the way brunolvr, thanks for the info on the Juneau docking situation. I had already found the info for Skagway and Ketchikan, but had not been able to locate that site for Juneau. Does anyone know anything about the dock schedule at Victoria?

ejhall Posted April 29, 2005 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I was wondering if anyone knows if the rates on the NCL website for Alaska 2006 are the earlybird prices? If so, when do they expire? Thanks in advance! ejhall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 29, 2005 Author #16 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I couldn't say if it's earlybird rates or not, but on the few other online sites I've found the NCL '06 Alaska stuff, the NcL site has been cheapest. -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
