Celebrity's 2005-2006 Schedule is Out!

[Cruz Crazy]

Just went on Celebrity's website and their new schedule is out. Go into Destination Calendar and put in the month and year and it will show you the itinerary.

Looks like they've added some nice Hawaii RT on the Infinity and Summit for Nov '05 and Jan '06. Don't see anything though for Dec '05. or Feb to Hawaii.

It also looks like they no longer have the Summit doing the Ultimate Caribbean in November and December. Too bad.

In Nov, Dec, Jan.....etc.they have the Zenith doing a short Caribbean cruise. Not a great itin. I guess I'll be back doing RCL for my Caribbean cruises from now on. Sorry...don't care for the Zenith or Horizon.

The Hawaii itins look good....I'm just waiting to get the feedback from the first RT Celebrity cruise to Hawaii that will be Dec 5 of this year. Looking forward to our Cruise Mates reviews of that one.

I think that waiting until after the R/T San Diego trip to Hawaii in Dec may mean that you miss out on booking for 2005.

I tried booking this years Dec sailing in Feb 2004 and found the sailing to be fully booked even though it was 10 months ahead at that time

Have just booked for the Infinity Nov 20 2005, and I might also do the Apil 2006 sailiing out of LA on the Summit - I like the number of sea days on these R/T trips. Both these sailiings are "do-able " with respect to price, even with the single supplement and air fare from FL.

Asked for brochures on the phone this am but Cust. Service said they would not be out until Sept.

Just booked Hawaii RT on Summit for March '06. Seems so far off but wanted to make the trip & enjoyed Summit this past March! Counting down now to Constellation to New Eng this Sept. A bit more reality based than '06.....If you boook same Cruz Crazy we will finally make itonto the same trip!

Haven't had a chance to check the schedule, were on the Horizon/Bermuda last week and it was not out on 25 July when I was trying to book Nov 05. They did say Summit was leaving Florida and Galaxy leaving Baltimore. So much for those plans, on to plan B! !

Has Celebrity made it easier for the Hawaiian cruisers or do they still make them go on the long bus ride to Ensenada? Calling it round trip from San Diego is sort of disingenuous if one has to be bused to Ensenada when Princess actually does round trip from Los Angeles.

Sorry hcat I don't have the Hawaii one booked in 2006. I'm waiting to hear what others think about the cruise. I don't get sea sick, but would like to know how all the sea days going over is.

I'm going to book the Jewel of the Seas on a back-to-back Eastern/Western Carib for Dec 2005. We are cruising with some friends we met on our first-ever cruise. Haven't thought about 2006 yet.

My hubby and I are building our own house, so right now I'm staying on the east coast and cruising closer to home. Once I get into our new house, I can plan on Europe, Hawaii and Tahiti.

Glad you have something to look forward to. We will probably psss each other in NY Harbor this Sept/Oct. Can't wait for that cruise.

Happy cruising!

We just booked group space on the Infinity Hawaii 14 night on 10/9/05. These are our prices

Cat 9-1400.25
Cat 7-1650.25
2A-1935.25
CC-2225.95

Not as good as the pricing for 12/5/04, but still not bad for a 14 night on that ship and that itinerary

The Hawaii 14 day RT does not leave from Ensenada--leaves from LA but stops about an hr in Ensenada on the way home to satisfy Jones act Req. If we find out otherwise--we'll cancel. That was the beauty of this itin--no bus ride & no airfare other than to & from LA. Something to look forward to in the way distant future--have a few ahead of it to enjoy--Next is Constellation in Sept to New Eng.
