That's nice to know as I could not get any for beginning of 2019 cheers

Explorer in the Canaries is interesting, plus Explorer 2 from Newcastle plus Explorer from Corfu

[Colbrit]

There will be wet and dry docks for Discovery, Dream and Celebration this November.

The kids club branding will be as per the branding on Explorer.

Discovery to get its own Squid& Anchor in its existing Venue space. 

Safes will be free of charge on Celebration and Dream from summer 19.

Cuban Fusion renamed as per feedback from customers following the Cuban Confusion moniker. 

There is a new itinerary with a partial transit of the Panama Canal included into Gatun Lake.

I'm confused - you've mentioned the details for both the winter and summer seasons with a launch of November 8th but Thomson/TUI/Marella have only launched the following year's winter season in November, saving the summer seasons for the following April. Is there going to be a change and they're doing like most other cruise lines do and putting both seasons on sale really far in advance?

Who is the 6 new ports?

[Colbrit]

Yes there is a change. Marella is doing this to be like other major cruise companies who have Summer 2020 on sale already. This is also the same for the beach TUI business with a dual launch of Winter 19/20 and Summer 20 this November.

Low deposit schemes will now have a 12 week space between initial deposit and the top up deposit instead of the current 10 weeks.

No St Thomas  or San Juan  Colbrit,  with Samana does that mean Celebration will home port Dom Republic again, thanks for posting winter  19-20 cruise,s so early.

[Colbrit]

No home port in Dominican Republic for Celebration. Celebration will be in Bridgetown. Samana and Amber Cove will be on an new itinerary on Discovery 2. No San Juan or St Thomas which is unfortunate as I look forward to new ports having been to the Caribbean twice.

Nordfjord,Norway? good luck...its a dangerous port,few days ago the Norwegian Costal Administration says thay dont allow cruise ships arrive because,they can run aground,wind and its to close to breakwater.....

Any details with regards what different the routes are as the ones from Limassol sound quite appealing 

[campolady]

Where is Dream after December 19?  She is only listed as being at Limassol for Nov/Dec.

My interpretation is that she will be rested like Spirit was during the winters. Dream will then resume sailings in the summer.
