An announcement at May's 4NCL weekend suggested that details of 2024-25 venues and/or dates might be forthcoming shortly but subsequent silence suggests that negotiations with hotels etc have been trickier than expected. Anything on the grapevine that anyone would care to share?

I think they are at the "waiting for contracts to be signed" stage. I won't tempt fate by speculating on dates/venues though.
