2017/2018 Deployment Thread & Opening Schedule

[pugdad1]

Would transatlantics/pacifics fall into one of these categories?

I am really interested to see the itineraries for Project Edge. Any idea if they will be releasing the new ship information?

I dont think so. They will really be making a big thing about it.

Bit by bit about the ship, restaurants, venues etc. and itineraries when most other informations have been communicated...

It's a new ship, it does not fit in the regular schedule updates...

[Lois R]

I agree...I can't imagine they are going to release anything for ships

that haven't even been started yet.....I would think the "actual ship

project" would come first......but then again, what do I know?:eek:

[vms]

I'll be on the Millennium during many of those dates. Am I correct in assuming that I would be able to book these new itineraries through the future cruise sales desk on board on the loyalty dates?

Yes, you are correct.

Would transatlantics/pacifics fall into one of these categories?

I am also interested in the transatlantic cruises during the spring of 2017.

Guess there won't be any "Project Edge" itinerary as the first of the new ships will come out in Fall 2018...

 

Hi Unipac,

 

I'd think not. I suspect when Celebrity is ready to release Edge itineraries, they will fall into their own category, and timeline. I think we have at least another year to go, but that's just a guess.

 

Hope this helps !

[Andy]

Thanks, Andy! We've been wondering when booking dates would be available.

 

We are Captain's Club members. Can we contact our TA to book on that Nov. 17 date or do we need to book through Captain's Club and then transfer our booking to our TA?

 

Thanks, once again, for you invaluable information.

Hi Denise,

 

Unless something changes this year - and it probably won't.... you can book through your TA. However, make sure to provide your Captains Club number, so that you can book during the early preview window - which is 3 days before the general public.

[ROYALBOY]

How far out will transatlantic go out?

[Andy]

Hi RoyalBoy,

 

In the upcoming deployment release, there will be 2 sets of itineraries for Eastbound TA (April 2017) and Westbound TA, in October/November 2017.

 

Hope this helps !

Thank you very much for the information.

 

We are interested in booking the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2017. Hopefully, this will be included in 2017.

We're on Equinox now. B2B cruisers have received 2017 TA promo. Itineraries appear to be nearly the same 2016, other than Silly going to end in Amsterdam like this year - I think. Going off memory and will not have enough Internet time to post the specifics.

[Livin Life]

Thanks! This is the info I was waiting for. Does this schedule mean that Constellation will not return to Europe? If so, where is she heading for the summer?

[Livin Life]

Constellation was not listed on the sheet we received. Not sure if the onboard promo is limited to S class shops.

[FunForUs]

Thanks Andy for keeping us informed.

 

Also, thanks to Livin Life -- your posts have been very helpful, too.

 

Will the Pacific Coastal cruises be released with the Alaska cruises?

[kitty9]

As always you're on the ball Andy. Thanks so much for the heads up.

[bigeck]

Thanks Andy for the info.

We plan to do the Panama Canal Oct/Nov '17.

First time on Celebrity, we are Diamond with Rci.

I have registered with CC and we have Captains numbers. Will we be able to book early or will we have to wait.

Thanks again and any additional info is welcome.

Hello Andy,

 

Does Cruise Critic have a Host for RCI ?

I'd love to know when their Asia cruises on the Voyager will be released for 2016.

Hi Alex,

 

As long as you have a Captains Club number you should be fine. Hope this helps !

Hi April,

 

Royal usually releases their itineraries during March & April. I checked Royal's website, and I see 1 sailing for Voyager in October of 2016. Outside of that, I suggest posting your question on the Royal Caribbean forum. Wish I could be of further assistance, but I hope this helps !

Does anyone remember if Connie's Suez Canal cruise was released with Europe last year? I'm assuming she's going back that way as she's not mentioned in the TAs listed above. Tx.
