At a quick glance, their USD pricing doesn’t seem to have increased appreciably. The AUD is low of course and I usually find cruise lines apply an even lower exchange rate when setting fares in AUD.
-
Hey Chilli, Are you referring to their AUD or USD pricing?
-
I guess that means Ovation is likely to stay on the West Coast for a few years at least.
-
Cruise Critic don’t allow it. However, it is the one that claims to be the biggest cruise agent in the world. I have been using them for years and the service is great.
-
The US TA I use does include all taxes and port charges in the quoted fare but they don’t include gratuities. I find they are almost always cheaper than the AUD price. I use a USD debit card on a US bank account so there are no forex fees or commissions.
-
Just for reference, I paid USD 3420 total for 2 people for a Cat C2 (Concierge Balcony) on the Celebrity Edge cruise mentioned above. USD 100 on board credit. I use a TA in the US.

The ship’s gin supply might be under pressure 😀 Second leg looks good.
-
Agreed. Royal’s strategy of predominantly short cruises in Asia puzzles me. They turned their backs on fly-in cruisers.
-
Here’s hoping Navigator’s deployment is more interesting than Quantum’s.
-
That’s bad luck. Hope it didn’t affect your cruise much.
-
I just nabbed a verandah on this one at a very good price. Cost of flights from Brisbane are not bad either.
-
If there is no Lelepa news released with the 26/27 cruises, the question will no doubt be asked of Gav when he is doing the industry rounds afterwards.
-
And another has popped up… a 9 night on Anthem from Sydney departing 11 Nov 2026.
-
Doesn’t show now. It wasn’t bookable. I was using Location: United States so price was in USD. I searched by Departure Port: Brisbane Maybe they took it down to increase the price. LOL.
-
A test load has appeared for a 7 night cruise on Quantum departing Brisbane on 12 Feb 2027.
-
Makes sense. Thanks.
-
Anyone have a guess on Navigator’s route from LA to Singapore? Last cruise ends in LA on 2 Oct 2026. Turnaround call at HK on 24 Oct. Elapsed time of 21 days (noting date line crossing) might indicate a turnaround in Japan.

Maybe even He doesn’t know. Seems that Royal don’t know what they’re doing either. 😀 -
Yep, entirely possible. And the October booking being the repo towards Singapore?
-
Good thinking. Could those HK calls also indicate a repo to Singapore and then back to LA?
-
My first thought was the latter (splitting a 7 night into 2 cruises).
-
The other entry is 9 Nov2026.
-
There is 2 entries in Brisbane’s 2026/27 port calendar in the name Quantum of the Seas. Not sure if they are new or changed from Voyager.
-
Yep. They would be much better informed if they followed this thread.
