Voyager Fall 2025 Sailing Canceled
geoff2802 replied to robmtx's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yes, and this would allow extra time to make the Cape Town to Freo leg more interesting eg calls on the east coast of South Africa, Madagascar, Seychelles, Zanzibar. I think this would be higher revenue and definitely lower fuel cost. Maybe Royal don’t know of these places! -
Voyager Fall 2025 Sailing Canceled
geoff2802 replied to robmtx's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The only commercial reason I can think of is that they have sold the Singapore to Brisbane cruise at high prices. I’ve been following it and prices have been high right from release to today. There are plenty of other reasons, like Royal is stupid. 🙂. -
Voyager Fall 2025 Sailing Canceled
geoff2802 replied to robmtx's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Agree. They were never likely to happen. A mixture of hopium, stupidity and greed from Royal. -
I’m hoping for revenue cruises, but via Freo!
-
With no alternative Voyager itinerary being offered, I guess it will run non-revenue around Africa.
-
Yes. I’m hoping for a Cape Town to Freo and Freo to Brisbane.
-
Unfortunate situation. Assuming Voyager does actually come to Australia, why would it go to Singapore at all? Cape Town to Brisbane via Freo is a lot shorter.

Deployment 2026-27 Booking Season Begins
geoff2802 replied to ScottishRobbie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yeah I get it. Just saying I think they will fill that 6 week gap but they haven’t finalised the arrangements yet. -
Deployment 2026-27 Booking Season Begins
geoff2802 replied to ScottishRobbie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Hard to believe there won’t be a ship during the peak period when fares are highest. My guess is they are still finalising details. -
I also think they have an opportunity to capitalise on disruption in P&O and Princess deployments but I don’t think this would drive their decision making. It’s wait on see on the situation in the Red Sea as you say.
-
It still seems to show 3 months for Unique Sailings but of course it’s just a rough guide rounded to monthly boundaries.
-
Would Oasis class fit in any ports on Mexico itineraries from LA? Cabo is tendered. I don’t think it would fit in Vallarta harbour. Ensenada perhaps? I’ll go if it’s offered - we enjoyed Navigator 7 and 4 night.

You really wonder about the intelligence of cruise line execs. They all thought China was going to deliver huge growth to them. It was obvious all along that their economic model was seriously flawed and would come unstuck. Now they are disappointed. Ha.
-
Surprised me too, but China sneezes then Singapore catches the flu. Maybe Voyager goes to Asia after the 2025/26 season in Brisbane.
-
If the deployment guide proves to be correct, they have allowed around 3 months. I’m guessing the sailings will be revenue. They’re going to burn the fuel anyway.
-
Thx for sharing. Looks almost certain they will run revenue (and why wouldn’t they). I’m hoping for Cape Town to Brisbane via Freo.
-
Perhaps Serenade will take over the itineraries of a Vision class ship they plan to sell.

Carnival Cruise Line to Absorb P&O Australia
geoff2802 replied to boeckli's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Currently on Encounter in PNG. Staff don’t seem to be upset by the change. Service is pretty good. Coffee at Avalon is good. -
Taking wine onbiard at embarkation
geoff2802 replied to geoff2802's topic in P&O Cruises ( Australia )
Thanks. Good to know. -
No doubt this question has been asked and answered before but I couldn’t spot it on this board and P&O’s website only makes a general statement about bringing alcohol on board… Does P&O Australia allow any wine to be brought on board at ambarkation?

Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins
geoff2802 replied to SummmerInKefalonia's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Royal’s management in Miami seems to be disorganised in comparison to some of their competitors.
