Ok! so you know the best way to get over post cruise blues is to plan for the next cruise. But when do the new brocures come out? September or October. I am planning for next summer.

Go visit your favourite cruise TA - I just picked up brochures which go through to Dec. 2002 - that said, as the months go by, there will be updates. revisios, etc. etc.

It's a good idea to once in a while spend a lunch hour just browsing - seldom, if ever, are brochure rates what you actually have to pay.

Another good source is the ship itself.
Cruise lines like to get a lot of repeat business and usually the staff on board know where they will be sailing next year.
If future cruising brochures are not displayed,just ask at the Pursers Desk.
With some lines (RCI) for example they actually set up a desk for future bookings ,and you can select a cruise and even the cabin you want.

In the UK there are already some brochures out for summer/autumn 2002, with discounts for early booking of 15 - 25% on the basic fares and upgrades

Jolly, is right.

Here in London just about ALL the major cruise line brochures are available. The only one that I've not seen yet, it the Cunard, but I may have missed it?

Here in the U.S., you can get most of next year's from AAA. We have already booked a cruise to New England/Canada on Royal Caribbean for Oct. 2, 2002. You just have to check around. Anyone else going on that cruise?

HAL also do that and frequently throw in a cruise credit and/or the Early Booking discount. Your 'on board' booking is turned over to your preferred Travel Agency for follow-up - and receives the sales commission due to it.

Good deal all around

I just called my local AAA Vacation office and they told me their brochures for next fall won't be in for another two weeks...

I will just have to be patient I guess...
