In the past DCL maiden voyages they had special restrictions regarding changes/additions, etc., and I have a suspicion that they will not allow passengers to use canceled cruise credits for a maiden voyage cruise. I hope I'm wrong so good luck.They usually have 15-18 months of sail dates offered. So with the next wave of Covid coming to the world and possible delays materials needed. I’m thinking they will hold off until after this next wave hits and see where the timeline sits. Last thing they want to do is disappoint people who booked a maiden voyage.
I’m hoping I can use my January sailing which I expect will be canceled. For a Wish sailing.
I’m thinking you misinterpreted my statement of “a Wish sailing” for “The Wish sailing” LOL. Unless for some reason they decide to delay the maiden voyage the last week in August or mid January (times of the year I can afford) a maiden voyage is not in my budget.In the past DCL maiden voyages they had special restrictions regarding changes/additions, etc., and I have a suspicion that they will not allow passengers to use canceled cruise credits for a maiden voyage cruise.

I agree....we were booked on the Maiden Voyage of the Magic back in 1998 and it was first supposed to sail in March but got delayed twice and finally sailed in July of 1998. We had to reschedule cruise, hotels, car rentals, flights, dog care, etc. twice at significant costs but DCL did the right thing and paid our plane change fees. They also gave everyone who was impacted an OBC so I am sure they will wait until they are very sure of the cruise situation before they confirm dates to start booking the Wish.

If I remember correctly, the Fantasy Maiden Voyage was a week earlier than originally stated. We booked for the second sailing which ended up being the third actual sailing. I forget the exact details though. Maybe someone else can chime in.I agree....we were booked on the Maiden Voyage of the Magic back in 1998 and it was first supposed to sail in March but got delayed twice and finally sailed in July of 1998.

The only restriction on FCCs was a time restriction. Originally, the FCC had to be used within 15 months of the date of the original sailing but that has been extended to I think April or May of 2022 regardless of the date of the original cruise.I didn't elect for FCC for my cancelled sailings, did they have restrictions on them? I would think that they should apply to any sailing.
The maiden voyage of the Fantasy was firm.....until it wasn't. I wouldn't count on a for sure until the day it sails but there will be a pretty good idea closer to 2022.Anyone know if this new Summer 2022 maiden voyage is a flexible date that could keep getting pushed back or if it is firm?
I was. It was moved from April 7th to march 31st maybe 3 months after bookings started. Fantasy was delivered early.If I remember correctly, the Fantasy Maiden Voyage was a week earlier than originally stated.

I can see wanting to hold off on bookings till things are set in stone.
Absolutely. With the Dream Moving to Miami, there will only be one ship at Canaveral, The Fantasy doing 7 nights is only going to show up once a week. The Wish still has 12 months of construction and a few months of sea trails, repositioning and training.Sounds like the Wish will be sailing starting summer of 2022. With the Summer 2022 itineraries already out & booking, will they release additional summer 2022 itineraries later just for the Wish?
