The cast has been coy about that
Spoilers OMG i just realized that...
- Thread starter Unimatrix Q
- Start date
If they are, they better start soon.
I remember being worried when Picard was announced because of Stewart’s age, and time has only passed more since then.
Keep in mind this season has been marked as the farewell for the entire cast as an ensemble. Individual cast members have indicated not only their willingness to come back but their enthusiasm for coming back.
Jon Frakes comes to mind, who is an unending foutain of optimism and enthusiasm for Trek, which I adore.

Normal? It was difficult to see in the CGI, but Spacedock was very efficient at taking out starships, one can see some blowing up in most scenes. Wolf 359 was Pearl Harbour, this was beyond that. They need every ship the can.
A big chunk of the fleet was destroyed, including several of their most powerful ships.
That would seem to indicate a deficit in ships in some capacity
Geordi said he was saving the Enterprise-D refurbishment as a surprise, meaning he hadn't finished everything he wanted to do yet (he's probably super-picky). I took the "one year later" to mean, the ship is now totally pristine, fully restored, and meets up to his perfectionist standards.
I'm not an engineer, but I am a video-editor and I have the same mentality when it comes to a project I'm working on. There's what most people think is done, and there's what I think is done. I think Geordi is one of those types of people. The Enterprise-D wasn't "done" by Geordi's definition, while they were fighting the Borg, but it was done by most normal people's definition.
Then, when it was finished by his standards, he was going to show it off in all its glory. It was supposed to be The Surprise.
But the Enterprise-D being in active service for a year works too. Not the way I read it, but it works.

It was probably left vague, like who Geordis wife is, for future story opportunity
By the way, the Enterprise-D still being on duty might also explain why the Titan was only being rechristened after the shutdown 
As much as I adore the character of Picard and SPS as an actor and man, I am in favor of the character being retired.
SPS wants to go back to the stage and those dramas, its where his heart is, and I'm happy for him to do it. SPS didn't want to come back to Picard at all but we got *30 more episodes* of him as Picard.
That is fine by me.

Perfect.
It’s not only him though. The entire cast is getting to the age where things aren’t guaranteed, unfortunately.
I think the scene was originally supposed to be right after the crisis was averted, since everyone is wearing the same outfits. They also have the old style deltas, but the in the preceding scene (prior to "one year later") Worf/Raffi have the new deltas, and that also seems like something that was intended to be before the time skip. So the costuming/editing of most of the epilogue was kind of messy.
What i really wonder about is the size of the crew during this year, if some notable guest characters returned to the ship and the missions they did.
I think the new ones are all gold?
I remember that announcement in August 2018.. seems already a long time ago.
It would be quite a clever thing to create a streaming movie into that 'year' before the final poker scene in the Picard series that features the TNG cast again. But that could only work if they were filming it like this year. They were filming Season 3 of Picard about nearly two years ago already weren't they?
I dont think it's gonna happen anyway. Paramount have now let Picard finish it's run and there has been radio silence on the future and no indication of continuing with even this legacy 'concept' series. I think something may happen for the 25th century but it's not coming for a while and I've a feeling the TNG cast are definitely done and dusted. If they weren't we'd know something by now. It's really over for them now I reckon.
the Enterprise-D was in active duty for a whole year, until the shutdown
Now i really want to read a novel about this time
I mean, in reality, the "1 year later" was probably a late addition by the producers, still fuelled by the backlash of ST09, which would have dearly needed a 1 year gap for that main characters promotion and to clean up the mess of loosing all of Starfleet around Earth & all cadets in one strike (sounds awfully familiar
) and a full planet, too.That's also why the position of the "1 year later" in the episode is so messy - Seven having to wait a full year before doing any Captain stuff, the Titan-A being in space dock to be renamed a full year, Riker & Troi still planning a vacation (and completely forgetting their daughter) and so on.
Chronologically they mixed some scenes, to end on the Poker game, even though the other scenes should have realistically taken place later.
But you know what? To hell with it! They did it. Now we're getting tons of non-canon material of a geriatric crew of seven having weekly adventures alone on a giant starship! Why not?
Well, Seven could have taken the Titan on some missions in this 'missing year' nearby and may have specifically requested Jack to come aboard. In the process, the ENT-D was put back into the fleet museum (all sprouced up and repaired fully - possibly upgraded as well), and the Titan may have been properly ugpraded now with its renaming to the Enterprise-G too (may have receieved a better hull, better armaments, shields, and new technologies too).
So, the shakedown would have implied the ENT-G was to test out how the ship behaves with all the changes SF crammed into it for its refit (if it got a refit)
