advance booking availability?

[cruisinclergy]

How far in advance do cruise lines, specifically Holland, Princess, and NCL offer their Alaska cruises? We want to book as far in advance as possible so we can reserve an aft balcony stateroom. There aren't many of those available and they seem to go fast! - They've been sold out for all of '06 for some time now and '07 doesn't seem to be available for booking yet.

I'm not quite sure, but the '07 cruises may be coming out in a month or two. Holland America has their '07 for everywhere else it seems. One idea would be to contact a good TA and tell them of your needs. They will know when the schedules come out and be ready to act on it.

Right now the only cruises for 2007 that HAL is booking is the World Cruise and parts of it's segments and the Meican cruises.

 

We have been after them since the end of December concerning booking cruises for the Caribbean and Canada/New England.

 

We weren't able to book our Alaskan cruises for 2006 until nearly the end of June 2005. Only some of the Alaskan cruises opened the first forst part of May.
