, RCI has really come with a fantastic series of sailings out of Copenhagen and Stockholm in 2015.

 

 

 

This ranges from the basic 7 night Fjörd and Baltic sailings to a 11 nigtht "true" Artic Circle cruise and a 11 and 12 night Ultimate Scandinavia-russia cruise.

 

 

 

 

 

I totally agree with you!!

The 7 night Norway cruises and the 11 night Arctic Circle/North Cape are quite appealing!

If we won't book Alaska (although I do not think so ;) ), these cruises are worth a look.

 

IMHO the longer Mediterranean and Black Sea cruises of VISION and RHAPSODY are interesting.

 

I also think the Hype around ANTHEM is somewhat exaggerated, because also her itineraries are not that appealing...

Wish I could. A lot of nice itinerary's. going to Alaska and the West coast next year. 26 days is enough.

Started saving already for that one. Wouldn't mind the 3 day for a weekend break though.

Loyal2RCCL had Adventure of the Seas listed for Europe in the summer of 2015. Adventure's schedule was not put on line overnight. Is it safe to assume that Adventure's schedule will be available for booking next week? If so, what region or home port will it have for summer of '15?

The Fjords cruises don't look interesting at all for us. They just offer one 11 days cruise and at ridiculous prices. For 11 days: 2.300€ for an inside (4.000€ for a balcony!!!), while at the very same dates an Alaska cruise costs 1200€ for 7 days. We'll book with MSC or Costa instead.

Interesting how much the 2015 Transatlantic prices have gone up over past years.

I have done TAs twice and gotten very good deals, especially for booking suites. The prices being offered so far are more than twice as much as I paid for 2013.

I just noticed that. On some of those TA's the insides or oceanviews are about the same price as we have paid for a JS in the past.

Perhaps RCI feel they can charge more for new itineraries and the newer ships with more attractions. I think they're probably right, at least while there is a sense that this is new and interesting. They'll be watching the flow of sales to see what the demand is like at these prices. The flip side is that there is now a lot more capacity crossing the Atlantic.

Pretty ridiculous isn't it ?

Yes, and they can keep "not selling" them to us as long as the prices remain that high.

 

We flew economy to Europe for one TA cruise, and swore we would never do it again. So add in the cost of at least a business class one way ticket to Europe, plus sightseeing, hotels, airfare to CA from the East Coast and a high price on a cruise with very few port stops....and it is out of our price range. :)

We did that one in reverse in 2012. Loved it! And would do it again if we had more vacation time. :D:):D We are sailing the canal again next year on Jewel.

Yes but the old TAs were super value

 

Supply and demand really is all it's about

 

Cheers

You can do New Orleans to Barcelona, 16nt, next month for under $600pp. ChoiceAir has decent one-way fares or if you're lucky can use miles :)
