Alaska 2015

[Charlie911]

I'm coming back to HAL after many years not sailing with HAL. does anyone know when the Alaska sailing dates for 2015 get published?

[CruiserBruce]

Any day now.

[Krazy Kruizers]

They were out by March 1st last year.

I know because we booked an Alaskan cruise right away.

HAL seems to be slow getting itineraries out for 2015.

Also looking for Alaska 2015. We are looking at 15 days to the Yukon. There are some pretty good deals for 2014, hope the 2015 prices are as good.

Do you think the lowest prices are when they are first posted?

 

I've never been able to figure out the best time to book a cruise.:confused:

Not sure, it think it varies. We usually cruise RCCL or Celebrity and their popular cruises (2 week Caribbean, NJ departures) usually increase from 20-30% from first posting. Fortunately, price drops are honored until final payment.

My experience from 2 European cruises is the price falls as you get closer to departure.

I am also waiting for Alaska, especially for the ones between Seward and Vancouver (if a Vista-Class ship offers it)!!

Although Celebrity is our first choice, we would consider HAL, if the prices are reasonably good!

[wocheez]

Yep us too!!!

Looks like the Alaska itineraries to will be available around the beginning of May. This is from a Personal Cruise Consultant from HAL.

I'm dealing with Seattle on my MIL's Panama Canal cruise and I've asked them a couple of time and both times they have said late June-early July but I have had bad info from them before so I'm checking daily now on-line.

Since it appears Noordam will be heading across the Pacific I'm guessing that they are still finalizing the "ship shuffle" for 2015. If Mexico has been doing well there is always the possibility of a Vista returning there.

Back in the early 80's there were 14 night Mexico cruises out of San Francisco that included an overnight in Acapulco- they were great.

[Italy52]

Just checked with an "on-line chat" representative and she said that June 2015 Alaska cruises will be available for booking in May? Really??????????????????? I have a booking already with Celebrity and NCL for 2015 --- might cancel the NCL one if HAL has a better itinerary and price. Why does it take so long for HAL to post pricing and itineraries?

[wocheez]

We booked one in July with Princess but may change if HAL is a better deal whenever they post the 2015 Alaska schedule.....

We're looking forward to trying HAL in Alaska next, the cruise tours look amazing!

[cruisin'mama]

The info we are being given is all over the place! My TA called HAL today and he was told Alaska 2015 will be released near the end of April! I have booked the Coral Princess just incase the Oosterdam isn't going to be doing the same itinerary as this summer. I just wanted to have something in place while I impatiently wait for HAL.

[godawgs2012]

I was told by one representative on the phone "in a couple of weeks" but over chat another told me "late May." So there is no telling. Haven't posted on this site in years, had to get a new username. It's good to be back.

Dobiemom,

 

When I told Lynn that the veranda on Deck 5 wasn't fully covered:(, she wanted to move to the Westerdam (as did I). Your remember how nice Joanie's veranda was last year, especially when it came to Alaska drizzle. So after 2 years from Vancouver, it's back to Seattle--the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Sitka, and martinis in the Bengal Lounge at the Empress Friday night in Victoria.:)
