hoping for a new port or two to visit.
Have just searched high and low -- is there an official 2020 itinerary watch thread yet or is it far too early?
Just disembarked on Monday. Future cruise desk said October, which falls in line with previous releases. He believes the release will occur earlier rather than later in the month. Take it with a grain of salt though.
You know, that would have been a good question to ask when I turned in my placeholder, but I really didn't want to take up too much time there.
Nothing ticks me off more than waiting for the desk to open up while the people sitting there are looking at ship maps, dates, etc. Just give them $250 and sign up for a placeholder. Call your TA or DCL when you get off the boat. If nobody is waiting, go for it, but there was a 15 person line when I signed up. #endofrant
We went while most people were eating dinner, so luckily there was no line for us. I'm not sure I've ever waited in a line that long there (thank goodness).

I was a bit disappointed when we did leave a form to book a placeholder on day 2 of our cruise on the Magic. They put the place holder in the system on that day, and so the sail-by-date was two years from that date. I guess if we had waited until the last day to do this, we would have had a few extra days to work with.When we were there, the sign that said you could just fill out a piece of paper and leave rather than talk to the agent had been knocked over. So we didn't realize we didn't have to wait and go through the whole process if we didn't have a specific cruise in mind. Which was a bummer because it took over an hour in line.
We had the experience of dropping our card off with the CM at the desk and then it was lost. It took many hours on the phone with our TA and DCL over a couple of weeks to finally track down the form (and I'm convinced it was only found because I had made a note of the name of the CM who I gave the form to). After that bad experience, I wait in line and make sure I get a confirmation number before I leave.When we were there, the sign that said you could just fill out a piece of paper and leave rather than talk to the agent had been knocked over.

I had a similar experience, and I now do the same - get that confirmation number.We had the experience of dropping our card off with the CM at the desk and then it was lost.

we do the placeholder but take a picture of it before we drop it off, we also add a note on it to process it at the end of the cruise.I had a similar experience, and I now do the same - get that confirmation number.
Does anyone know what typically comes out in this batch of sailings? Is there a transatlantic or Panama Canal sailing?
Hoping to combine a Hawaii cruise with Aulani!!
