Summer 2020 will be released in the Feb/March timeframe...usually goes until early September. It'll probably happen during Feb. break when we're at Disney world, just because I'm hoping for a summer 2020 sailing. As a PP said, the fall/winter 2020 will be released in May/June.
Prices may not be as bad as you fear. Kids are still in school then, and it's not over any breaks. It's also a 1 way vs. roundtrip. Its a cruise that interests me...but being on the East coast, I'd really prefer roundtrip...and I have a kid in high school (and college)...so it just doesn't work out.
Assuming they follow this year's patterns, it wil be January-March but not spring break or President's day. This year they are on all cruises that do not fall in those windows. Cheap on Disney.
I'm thinking the same thing, though maybe the thought is that once the new ships launch, one will stay on the west coast year round and another will continue to do the seasonal Panama Canal sailings. That would allow one ship to be in Alaska during the summer and another could do Hawaii or other itineraries. Unless and until DCL puts another ship on the west coast for at least the summer season, the Hawaii trips will never fall at convenient times. Same issue with the Magic out of NY - DCL isn't giving up Europe for summertime sailings out of NYC.
If they were right after her Graduation, I would have booked that as a Graduation present for sure.
