    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!

    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. 🙂.

    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!
  5. geoff2802
    With no alternative Voyager itinerary being offered, I guess it will run non-revenue around Africa.
  6. geoff2802
    Yes. I’m hoping for a Cape Town to Freo and Freo to Brisbane.
  7. geoff2802
    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.
  8. geoff2802
    Yeah I get it. Just saying I think they will fill that 6 week gap but they haven’t finalised the arrangements yet.
  9. geoff2802
    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.
  10. geoff2802
    Oh dear. Another example of cruise line stupidity. Seems to be increasingly prevalent.

    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.
  12. geoff2802
    It still seems to show 3 months for Unique Sailings but of course it’s just a rough guide rounded to monthly boundaries.
  13. geoff2802
    Princess don’t seem to have much regard for their customers nor can they decide what they want to do. Doesn’t seem to have given them cause to reduce pricing though.

    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.
  16. geoff2802
    Surprised me too, but China sneezes then Singapore catches the flu. Maybe Voyager goes to Asia after the 2025/26 season in Brisbane.
  17. geoff2802
    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.
  18. geoff2802
    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.
  19. geoff2802
    Perhaps Serenade will take over the itineraries of a Vision class ship they plan to sell.
  20. geoff2802
    Currently on Encounter in PNG. Staff don’t seem to be upset by the change. Service is pretty good. Coffee at Avalon is good.
  21. geoff2802
    Thanks. Good to know.
  22. geoff2802
    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?
  23. geoff2802
    That should be ok unless something goes wrong. You would want to disembark in the first group and carry your own bags off. Less stressful to stay for a day. I think that SYD - DFW flight runs every day and Qantas will be happy to move you to the following day if there is availability.

    Hey Chilli, This page has some information: https://www.cruisemapper.com/wiki/767-cruise-ship-refurbishment-dry-dock-schedule

    Royal’s management in Miami seems to be disorganised in comparison to some of their competitors.
