So Anthem and Voyager for the Australian Summer 2025/2026...not too shabby.

I have always travelled solo due to some horrendous experiences with friends. I caught the cruise bug with Royal Caribbean in 2017. I started with the South Pacific and New Zealand. And I loved it! It is a safe way for me to travel, and I can choose to be in the company of as many or no people depending on my mood. I have another South Pacific cruise booked in Jan 2025 and then will book a Transpacific in October 2025. Looking at the Western Caribbean and Italy in 2026. Potentially New England and Halifax maybe as I am keen to visit Canada and see the Maritime museums.

If Voyager is TP to Brisbane in 2025, I am on it.

I have always been on my own, single with no kids. I love travelling and I love the sea. I cannot handle the company of other people. I went on a couple of trips with friends and I always had a miserable time. When I am on a cruise, I take the time to have some peace and time to myself. On a sea day, I have a big breakfast, hit a gym class, read, maybe go and have a spa treatment or relax in the thermal rooms. If I am studying, I will do an hour of my Diploma studies. On a Port day, I have an excursion booked, or explore on my own. Then come back, have dinner, maybe chat to a few people and then hit the thermal room again before bed. I love the sea and love waking up to a new port every day. Solo travelling has definitely helped my confidence.

Silly question, but I'm looking at travelling to Galveston, Texas for a Caribbean cruise. Would that be covered under February 12?

I am waiting on the Transpacific Honolulu to Sydney/Brisbane for 2025 Autumn (Australian Summer) season. In the mean time, have booked the old reliable 10 nights in the South Pacific for a break.

Awesome. I like the smaller ships to be honest. Voyager was the first ship I ever cruised on and she was wonderful!!

Just throwing this out there, but I am guessing that Quantum of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas will be serving the 2025/2026 Australian Summer?

So Voyager coming back to Australia?

I had a Transpacific cruise booked this year, but had to cancel due to starting a new job. Have chosen to go back to uni next year, so have to look at September/October 2025. Looking at a double Hawaii/Transpacific and wanting to get it booked ASAP. So can barely wait for the next lot of deployment schedules.
