Southampton 2016

[Static events]

What RCCL ship is sailing from Southampton during the summer of 2016....?

 

 

:confused::confused:

Not been announced yet, plenty of rumours but schedule not due to be announced till later this month. Would LOVE to have Indy back.

[Cruisingthesuitelife]

The rumours are of a Voyager class (poss Navigator) and a Freedom class (poss Indy). I hope that Indy doesn't come back. Given that she only left in November, I would really like a different ship in port. That being said, I'm not keen on Quantum class but would love an Oasis class. Shouldn't be too long before we find out :)

 

Regardless of the ship, I just wish the prices would be lower!

With Navigator and INDY booked at the ports of Funchal, Gibraltar, Palma, Barcelona, Riviera Ports, Tenerife and La Coruna among others, I would not classify their deployment quite as a rumour, but it is true that these ships official deployments will not be released until the 16th of March.

 

Now, any Ovation of the Seas deployment to Southampton is only rumoured as there is no evidence out there that really supports this claim that I have seen.

[Cruisingthesuitelife]

But as mentioned in the deployment thread, they could just be place holders. I appreciate with the Caribbean info that has now come out that is looking less likely though!

[shipfriend_max]

The press release regarding RCI's 2016/17 caribbean deployment states that both Navigator and Independence otS are only doing WINTER CARIBBEAN cruises in 2016/17.

That implies that both ships are deployed elsewhere between May and October.

IMHO most likely are Indy and Navi from Southampton - but Ovation and Indy are also possible, and Navigator sailing from Harwich.

 

Ovation surely does Europe in 2016, since she is not expected to sail Caribbean in winter 2016/17.

I know it's unlikely but I would like to see an Oasis class ship to sail out of Southampton in the summer of 2016.

 

What I wouldn't like to see is the independence of the seas back... as much as I love that ship I was getting fed up of her.

[MADflyer]

Both Indy and Navigator have now had published confirmation of Southampton sailings for 2016.

[Cruisingthesuitelife]

MADflyer, thanks for the info you have provided on this and the other thread.

 

I am so disappointed that it will be same old. Oh well, I'll just keep having to travel long haul for my cruises! :rolleyes:

Navigator starts with a 8 night Norwegian Fjord sailing on the 29 May.

 

She then does a 10 night Canary Island sailing...

 

followed by two 12 night Scandinavia / Russia sailing

 

and then two 14 night MED cruises

 

followed by a couple 7 night Spain sailings

 

another 14 night MED sailing

 

a 13 night MED sailing

 

a 14 night Canary Island sailing

 

a 7 and a 6 night Spain Western Europe short sailing

 

and then a final 13 night Canary Island sailing.

Just seen the Indie and Navigator being advertised on a UK travel site for 2016 with an all inclusive package.

Let the fun begin.

[gstewart]

Ovation off somewhere else then?

[merlindog22]

It doesn't look as if anything is going to Harwich, then - what a pity. Such an easy port to use

[shipfriend_max]

Ovation off somewhere else then?

 

Could imagine a direct transfer to Asia/Far East/Australia after debut in spring 2016...

[Navigat8]

I'm delighted that Independence and Navigator will be in Southampton next year. My biggest problem is how do I persuade my husband that we need to sail on both of them in 2016:D

[christi1805]

I know it's unlikely but I would like to see an Oasis class ship to sail out of Southampton in the summer of 2016.

 

What I wouldn't like to see is the independence of the seas back... as much as I love that ship I was getting fed up of her.

 

Just got an email from RCCL: Harmony will sail the Med from Barcelona in 2016
