springaussie Posted August 14, 2017 #4476 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Probably not a deployment change but just reporting the April 2018 Radiance Sydney to Hawaii and Explorer Sydney to Seattle are showing sold out.

Blizzard54 Posted August 15, 2017 #4478 Share Posted August 15, 2017 That happened a couple times on the 2016 sailing. They are probably rechecking inventory and held group space. It will probably reopen in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted August 16, 2017 #4479 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So it is Spectrum of the Seas as the new Quantum Ultra ship!! So much for the rumoured Passion or Pulse!! I have her Suez Canal sailing to Asia on my to sail list for my big birthday in Spring 2019 (fingers crossed I don't get out priced like the Mariner sailings next year!) :ship: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I got the deposit together, the cruise price was too much for this solo traveller! :o My plan is to have my travel agent hold my deposit (or possible future cruise certificate!) ready to pounce on release day!!

Can't imagine a new Quantum ship would be cheaper Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app It was sure reasonable if a bit more than what we usually pay when we booked the TA leg of this cruise. Booked onboard at next cruise second day it opened. I looked it up today, insides for two StARt at $4464 for two. Ya, that's like 3k more than what we paid when we booked [emoji33].

Rare BecciBoo Posted August 16, 2017 #4484 Share Posted August 16, 2017 LOL :) it's definitely risky getting near the glaciers Actually just the opposite...more ice from calving in the thaw of the late season due to warmer temps. We've always gone in September so the calving is better, never disappointed at Hubbard but Tracy Arm often blocked because of icebergs and ice in the water.

Biker19 Posted August 16, 2017 #4485 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Can't imagine a new Quantum ship would be cheaper There'll be a discount since you'll share the ship with lots of construction workers finishing the ship on the way to Asia.

Went at the end of May this year and saw plenty of calving, and yes, Tracy Arm was closed due to too much ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted August 18, 2017 #4491 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Delete my comments as already addressed above. :confused:Why would you say that? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. So are you.... My main point is that the choke ice in Tracy Arm occurs much more in late season. We've always been rerouted accordingly, we have never made it into the Fjord in Sept. And temps in Alaska in the last couple years have been unseasonably warmer making it even harder to get to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastlemam Posted August 21, 2017 #4492 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Could someone please remind me of the website we were using to see the itineraries before they were released Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted August 21, 2017 #4493 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Could someone please remind me of the website we were using to see the itineraries before they were released The early speculation is based on port bookings (and historical patterns) - so you'd have to go to individual port web sites (not all are available). The availability of the actual itineraries is unlikely to be available until right around RCI releases them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted August 22, 2017 #4500 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Here is a question for you all...isn't it every 5 years tha the ships undergo dry dock? If so, will Quantum have to come back to Europe for dry dock or is there a ship yard in Asia that can accomodate a ship that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
