There's a sticky at the top you should check out that's 2020 watch. They'll post in there when the itineraries are released. Speculation is it might happen end of Feb beginning of March. Some are hoping they'll announce it this week when the promo ends.
Called DCL last night and spoke with a CM...she said she'd been told the release would be at the beginning of March. Who knows if this is accurate but she said it several times and She said they'd all been told that.
My son turned 8 on the day we went to Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii which was our favorite stop.
If you know you are going to do a Med. cruise at some point, get Rick Steves book/s on Cruise Med. Ports.
I just find it so frustrating that DCL delays this so long. We would like to keep Disney in our list of lines we select from, but we are already booked out to 2021. I have always wondered why they are so behind other lines putting their schedules out?
Its funny, I am the exact opposite.
I really don't like planning vacations a year ahead of time.
In fact, some of our best vacations have been planned with very little notice!
I find it very frustrating to have to lock in a vacation so early.
Heck, I planned our wedding in 9 months!

Just a guess but I think it might be due to the clientele being primarily school aged kids. Schools don't put out their schedules more than a year or so in advance. For us there would be no way we could book a 2021 cruise at this point without knowing all the random days that they will get off. Some years they get Columbus day off, some not. We also get all the random teacher in-service days, student holidays, etc that are not consistent from year to year. If you only cruise summers then it really wouldn't matter but we usually avoid summers due to it being almost double the price.

Right now we only have the current public school calendar...usually they have the following year out by mid-March, but last year it was mid-April. Lol, and completely opposite that I now have the calendars for all 4 yrs for my college freshman! For the public school, I can guess vacation weeks and the school start date. End date is always in flux--that's partly dependent upon how many snow days they have. (We also sometimes have 2 days around Columbus day...and that has shifted around in the past...sometimes getting Fri/Mon, sometimes Mon/Tues...and then presidential election years it's just Columbus day AND getting the Nov. election day off due to the schools being our polling locations.Oh, that's funny. We get our schedules over a year in advance. We already know our 2019-2020 schedule and will probably know our 2020-2021 schedule in the fall. We rarely shift from one year to the next. That's a bummer about your schedule. But, great alternative perspective!
I guess there won't be a release tomorrow
