We did a Western cruise this past summer and was eagerly waiting for 2004 reservations to open up to book the Eastern for August, 2004. Because the Eastern wasn't available, I booked a Western cruise again, hoping that I can change it if and when the Eastern becomes available. Does anyone know if there is hope in that happening and why isn't the Eastern available for August, 2004. I wasn't able to get any type of an answer from DCL.
