Alakegirl Posted October 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2021 New Edge itineraries will open for booking soon. What about Eclipse? Will she also have new itineraries for that same time period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted October 3, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We are booked to board the Eclipse on March 10, 2023 to start a B2B2B2B series. We will start and end the series in Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted October 3, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We are interested in the following season, equivalent to what has been announced for edge that opens for mid-October booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I would hope there will be two ships there then, if not Eclipse then perhaps Solstice ? any hints yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsternight Posted October 3, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I was wondering the same. We booked a few weeks ago for the Eclipse in April 2023. What I found odd is that we selected anytime dining for this sailing and we received an email about a week ago offering to book dining times already. Never had this happen before, and honestly have not looked closely at the itinerary yet to make a decision like that. If there was a switch to E class I wouldn't mind trying it out, as our next 3 sailings are all on the Eclipse. Nice ship though, really loved our last trip Vancouver to Hawaii.

Rare cruisestitch Posted October 3, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I am just hoping there will be an alternative to an e class ship, something in addition to edge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted October 3, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Do you think that they are announcing edge first to get people to book it at higher prices and then the second ship will be announced in a month or so with lower prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Interesting thought. It makes sense to put out the more expensive itineraries and ship first, get lots of bookings, and then release the cheaper itineraries later. Few people will change their bookings; they will just stay with what they did first on the edge. Edited October 4, 2021 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K12Guy Posted October 4, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I haven't seen anything about a second ship being assigned to Australia/New Zealand. Edge is slated to sail there for the 2023/2024 season, I believe. Is there any indication that passenger interest is high enough to support two ships on similar itineraries?

Rare cruisestitch Posted October 4, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Pre Hiatus there were two, as I recall. One ex Sydney, one ex Melbourne. Edited October 4, 2021 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Eclipse was to be homeported in Melbourne along with Solstice in Sydney for the 2020/21 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice was the only Celebrity ship for New Zealand when we did the 12 night cruise in January of 2017. I just checked both Eclipse and Edge for January 2023 and their sailings are flopped as of now, with Edge showing in the Caribbean and Eclipse in New Zealand. I think it's just a matter of time until the changes are made and sailings are correct for the intended itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted October 4, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Looking for the following year, so January 2024 and subsequent months. Hoping they will be announced soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeroWA Posted October 7, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I certainly hope so - we are booked on Eclipse for Nov '22 for 12 nights out of Sydney to NZ and return. We are also booked for Feb '23 for 10 nights out of Sydney sailing The Great Barrier Reef. Can't wait to start sailing again - it's certainly been a long wait!

woodscruise Posted October 7, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 7, 2021 There are 2 entries for Celebrity Solstice in Darwin ports schedule for 2023/2024 cruise season. Darwin on Friday 27 October 2023 and Tuesday 02 April 2024. Brisbane ports is showing Solstice on Saturday 21 October 2023. These are new entries in the relevant port schedule, so I think Australia will have 2 ships in the 2023/2024 cruising season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 7, 2021 #16 Share Posted October 7, 2021 That’s the good news I was hoping for….hints of things to come.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted October 11, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 11, 2021 When might these itineraries be announced and open for booking? Edge opens this week, if they stick to announced schedule. We are looking for the second ship, not interested in edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HskrCrsr Posted October 12, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It is looking like Eclipse will not be heading down under for late 2023. Instead, Pacific Coastal and Mexican Riviera cruises are showing up in October and November 2023. https://www.celebritycruises.com/2023-2024-cruises/2023-mexican-riviera-cruises However, since Edge is getting such a late 2023 start in Australia, maybe Eclipse will also head south very late in the year?
