Clarea Posted December 12, 2017 #1001 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Just noticed Vision's 2019 fall TA ends in Miami. Not returning to NOLA? I thought I read that RC was leaving New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atgood Posted December 12, 2017 #1002 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I thought I read that RC was leaving New Orleans. Wasn’t that from before? I know Vision is moving to Galveston from NOLA in early 2019, but I thought it was a result of the moving around of other ships and not b/c of displeasure with NOLA this time.

atgood Posted December 12, 2017 #1005 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I admit I'm totally confused by all the recent moves and probably have it wrong. It’s a part-time job to keep it straight. I don’t recall what prompted RCI to decide to return in late 2018 or if they stated anything specific. I know I was surprised to see it announced Vision would leave so soon thereafter in early 2019, but again I’m pretty sure it was due to moving around other ships. I have my fingers crossed they will do PC cruises again in 2019 after returning from Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindyJohn Posted December 12, 2017 #1006 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I guess that means you are off the RD Hawaii cruise in May, 2019.:( Mais non, ma chere amie :D With Ovation arriving in Honolulu on May 2 and Radiance departing on May 5, it's possible to do them both. And the good times keep-a-coming as I also booked Serenade on the October 2019 BOS-FLL, joining you and Ellie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCEaton Posted December 12, 2017 #1007 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I just called and booked Brilliance for 3 Nov 2019. They are all on line and ready for booking. Thanks Mike we will check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the Ovation is already listed as sold out, and the Hawaii to Vancouver is not listed, and the clock is ticking to the 12/22 deadline for Explorer rejects to book and get the 20 % credit.

I got Royal international and they couldn't transfer a booking. Then they couldn't make a booking. Ended up putting a cabin on hold and will call tomorrow to get it released and re book it.

dpostman Posted December 12, 2017 #1014 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I just saw today that Northern European cruises for 2019 are now on the RCCL website. Just booked a Baltic cruise for May 31, 2019. Been waiting for those and didn't expect to see them until spring. Got an awesome cabin! Might be new itineraries for other locations too - I've only been watching for the Baltic cruises. Same here, I was resigned to wait until spring but seen an email from RCI today stating itineraries for Europe and Baltics in 2019 and voilà. 20 minutes later I had our 25th Anniversary Baltic cruise for Aug 2019 booked... just in time for Christmas :D One extra envelope under the tree :) dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamato5girls Posted December 13, 2017 #1017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ovation from Hawaii to Vancouver is open on the RC website BUT there are no suites at all. I'm not happy at all. Not only that, prices are much higher than what I was getting for a junior suite for 3 people. When I did a mock booking for an oceanview cabin, it was almost 7k and it's only for 11 nights! I had it for 9k for 23 nights. Guess I'm off to switch to another ship! Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but balconies are sold out for this sailing on the UK site and it was quoting me £4,914 ($6,558) for cruise only for solo occupancy for 11 nights!! By the time I would add on flights it would be my cruise budget for 3-4 years so it is a no from me!!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1019 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just noticed Vision's 2019 fall TA ends in Miami. Not returning to NOLA? Vision sailings out of NOLA appear to begin in December for a New Years sailing. The ship may do Trans-canal or something else prior to heading to NOLA.

MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1020 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I am not sure if it has already posted, but Explorer has been confirmed to Riviera Ports and Gibraltar and will most likely be the Southampton based ship. Norway bookings were already confirmed last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1021 Share Posted December 13, 2017 So it seems Oasis' dry dock will take place after her Med season, then she'll sail empty to MIA. It appears they will take her down to Cadiz in September - October and then return to Barcelona for a Transatlantic, sailing on October 27th from Barcelona via Malaga.

I am not sure if it has already posted, but Explorer has been confirmed to Riviera Ports and Gibraltar and will most likely be the Southampton based ship. Norway bookings were already confirmed last week. Thanks for the update. Wonder if she'll also take over for Navigator in Miami on the 9/5 itineraries.

Wonder if she'll also take over for Navigator in Miami on the 9/5 itineraries. With St. Maarten port not reporting any RCI ships after January 2019, it has been difficult to predict some moves. I had to relay for the most part on Key West and Cayman this year. I have not understood whether RCI will actually be operating their own port at St. Maarten or if it is just an administrative thing. Other cruise line bookings are showing at St. Maarten, but not RCI ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGP312 using Forums mobile app As the Eastbound Transatlantic is now confirmed on the deployment calendar for Phase I. Europe, it should be released at any moment this week. They have actually only cancelled port bookings for one week in September at this moment for the 22nd of September and they may alter additional sailings. These cruises will be released with Europe Phase II. along with Indy, Explorer and other ships. Any remaining deployment is slated for Spring of 2018. I would think around mid-March at the latest. http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2019_2020/2019_OA_Deployment_Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
