Tropicalgal2 Posted April 7, 2017 #3026 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Tried to get an update on Australia bookings a few minutes ago from the C&A rep, no luck they are clueless, UGH. My TA is suppose to be checking daily, I guess I will too as of next week. Belinda I haven't been on here in awhile. :D According to the RC site the 2018-2019 Australian cruises are supposed to post this week! What is going on? ? ? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAS2017 Posted April 8, 2017 #3035 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) The Australia/New Zealand release keep changing, anyone know why? First it was 3rd April Then it was 10 April Then it was 12 April Now it's TBD. I'm hanging out to book the Sydney to Honolulu or reverse again. Anyone know the hold up? Are they possibly changing ships down this way? At the moment our season has Voyager, Explorer, Radiance and Ovation.

Ashland Posted April 8, 2017 #3036 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Does any one know approx. what the itinerary for Singapore will look like when it opens? Loved sailing from there but would rather end up in Shanghai than Beijing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there has been a bit of chatter on possible changes to the ships, I am going to book the TP regardless and take my chances. I am going to call everyday starting on the 12th, they'll be sick and tired of me...lol Thanks for posting the updated deployment sheet.

Yea I'm definitely booking the TP one once available. I want the one that goes via Bora Bora, have done it on Rhapsody and Radiance so hope they change to a bigger ship like Voyager/Explorer.

Wilson Posted April 8, 2017 #3041 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Well went ahead and booked!The worst that can happen is I will get some OBC and book something else! And managed to get corner aft junior suite 8096 so am well chuffed! Guess we will look at a couple 2019 cruises and like you, worst case we will get a piece of that obc. It paid off last year when we booked a Brilliance cruise that we suspected would be chartered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It paid off last year when we booked a Brilliance cruise that we suspected would be chartered. I hope if they do sell the ship it doesn't mean they will be dropping Venice as an embarkation port. We plan to stay on Venice for a few days in advance then pick up the cruise in June 2018 - that will do really scupper our plans!

Biker19 Posted April 8, 2017 #3045 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I wonder how many people would pay for opening day price protection - for $100, you are guaranteed to get the opening day price for a month. Biker, who is giving RCI free advice on how to make even more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springaussie Posted April 8, 2017 #3047 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Royal Caribbean seem to be increasing cruises from Sydney in October 2018. Radiance and Voyager are the names used for the bookings. Already on sale from Sydney in October and November 2018 are music charters on Radiance. Voyager normally arrives Sydney early November with Explorer a few days later. The Hong Kong and Sydney Port booking October 2018, April 2019 and May 2019 contradict each other with the name Voyager of the Seas. Maybe this has something to do with the hold on deployment release in Australia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It would be great if RCI offered some more interesting itineraries to include the Great Barrier Reef. We have a cruise booked next year from Sydney to Snfapore but I am probably going to cancel as RCI has dropped Port Douglas from the itinerary and there are now very few port stops on a 14 night cruise.

I'm doing that one in 10 days, shame they're dropping a port. Have a look at the Sydney to Singapore on Ovation, it does similar ports and also includes Malaysia.
