Sorry we ended up booking a Junior Suite on that cruise

I find this totally fascinating to read. It's made me realize that we have unwittingly cruised on some of the traditional routes of world cruises. We have cruised 19 nights from Honolulu, via stops on Tahiti and NZ to Sydney. A few years before that we cruised 14 nights from Sydney, up via stops on the Eastern coast of Australia to Singapore and, in April/May 24, we'll be cruising 15 nights from Singapore via stops in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India and Abu Dhabi, to Dubai. So they all link together which amazes me to realize. Of course, being in New Zealand, it's the rest of the world cruising routes that are left and which are way more expensive for us to fly to...

I never thought about doing a round the world cruise until RC brought out this one. And, as time got closer to the cruise and I started following some people who are doing it, I've become fascinated so it's now on my travel dream bucketlist. We'd only be able to afford it if we sold our family home and downsized but, as our youngest daughter will still be coming home during her university holidays for a few more years, we are not ready to do that yet. But it's been a lovely idea to dream about for now 💕 However I recently heard and read opinions that RC will not do another world cruise so, if true, thats disappointing. Does any one know why they wouldn't be doing another one? Given this cruise hsd only just started, what has gone wrong to make them not want to repeat it? Is it not profitable for them?

Yes, I'm a travel agent in New Zealand and the Quantum Singapore to Brisbane is indeed for sale now

We just booked on the Singapore to Dubai cruise because, even though not having a balcony will be hard (we have become very accustomed to having one), the itinerary is fantastic as it ticks off several new places for us. It will be strange boarding a ship where all the passengers already know each other!

Oh yes please, that would be great thanks 🙂

I'm also interested in the Singapore to Dubai cruise and would love to read a trip report from someone who has done this type of itinerary before. So what 2018 report are you referring to please?

Oh so big news, that's a shame

Does anyone know if the RC Beach Party today had any huge news?

My husband and I were also on the same Trans-Pacific cruise and we were in Junior Suite 11638 which was wonderful. We had 10 nights in Waikiki and then the fantastic Ovation cruise back to Sydney. One night in Sydney and then flew back home to Wellington. Since we've been home, I've been extremely busy catching up with work and so I've only just seen your TR. I don't have time to read it now but will look forward to reading later. However, in the meantime, here are a couple of photos I took of that incredible super yacht that was tied up next to us in Papeete.

Does anyone have any photos of (or have stayed in) the Ocean View Balcony cabin 12250 or 12650 on Quantum class ships? I've currently got 12250 held for a cruise on Ovation because, on the deck plans, it looks like the balcony is slightly larger than regular balconies. However I know deck plans are not always accurate. Or does anyone have a photo of these cabins on decks 13, 11, 10, 9, 8 or 7? e.g. 11250 or 11650. Any info about these cabins will be much appreciated. Thanks 🙂
