Hopefully they give it some time before going into 2020 mode. I need some time for the bank account to recover.
I second this. While I'd love announcements sooner, I just dropped $2600 on the Star Trek cruise and a couple months before having to pay for 70k would be nice.
We want a full report on that, please.

(I was amazed at how much more expensive Star Trek: The Cruise is, compared to 70K.)

Apparently, they have an event where everyone wearing the free cruise t-shirt drinks for free.
I can’t even.

True story. We got unlimited beer, wine, and Bahama Mamas during that deck party. My one friend literally just started putting beer cans in his pockets lol.

I'm going to go with July 9th. It is a week before my due date so the excitement from the first announcement will induce early labor. This way I have a whole extra week to bond with my baby and prepare for 2020.

301 days to go! Where are the announcements?

Interestingly even if announcements started today, it would not be close to the earliest they've started up.

Obviously the first one was a bit of an aberration, but the first announcements for that one were over a year in advance.

Here they all are in order of most-days-out-from-sailing.

2011 - 18 December 2009 402 days from sailing
2015 - 15 March 2014 313 days from sailing
2014 - 31 March 2013 301 days from sailing

2020 - ???????????????? 301 days from sailing (and counting)

2012 - 17 April 2011 280 days from sailing
2016 - 25 June 2015 224 days from sailing
2013 - 27 June 2012 215 days from sailing
2018 - 03 July 2017 213 days from sailing
2017 - 08 July 2016 208 days from sailing
2019 - 31 August 2018 154 days from sailing

Even after removing the first one the trend isn't looking good for the impatient :-)

What happens if you remove 2019? Looks like the trend would flatten out to around 225 days to go.

I hit right at 200 days for 2020 if you remove 2019.

175 ish if you don't.

And 150 if you count 2011

I’ve put my money where my mouth is by clearing the 70K Bands 2019 data in preparation for my predicted announcement date of the 15th. If I’m going to have misplaced over confidence, let do it right!

That dreaded SOON word! I absolutely hate hearing that word now, haha!

Please someone pick a new word.

Synonyms for soon:
directly, early, instantly, promptly, quickly, rapidly, shortly, speedily, presently, anon, any minute now, before long, betimes, by and by, coming down the pike, ere long, expeditiously, fast, fleetly, forthwith, hastily, in a little while, in a minute, in a second, in a short time, in due time, in short order, in time, lickety-split, on time, posthaste, pronto, quick, short.

I'm kinda leaning towards "SHORTLY"

Good luck convincing the Skipper; HE's the one who keeps using it.

I'm rooting for "anon," "ere long" or "lickety-split."
