Deployment 2019-20 booking season begins

[OfTheSeasCruiser]

What chances are that Explorer Of The Seas Transatlantic will get cancelled so the same upgrades could be applied to Explorer like what happen to Mariner? She could have a drydock and sail back empty.

And Explorer isn't due for another dry dock until 2020, so I don't think they'll bring her in a year early.

[Tall-Cruiser]

There is no reason to expect Royal to abandon those itineraries. Explorer has a TA ending in Miami and Serenade has a repo ending in Fort Lauderdale.

 

 

Luke - Thanks for the note. So there is a chance we could see both doing the Southern Caribbean.

I am not sure if this has been posted yet. Here are the Explorer sailings that go on sale tomorrow. Would Explorer not first just do the Navigator sailings out of Miami, similar to 2018?

Serenade is most likely sailing same 10/11 nite cruises as before. See no reason it would change.

RCI is missing the great itinerary Celebrity offer's...Ireland, Iceland & Scotland.

 

 

 

But I must say RCI is providing a better Northern Europe program than Celebrity does! X just offers a few Norway cruises at the beginning and the end of the season, and apart from the Iceland/Atlantic cruise in mid of August all the other cruises to Iceland are also offered in the beginning of the season, that’s too early.

I rather hoped for some similar cruises Princess offers from Southampton. Iceland in July or August, North Cape and Norway, less Med cruises at least on one ship.

RCI already deploys two from Southampton...

Explorer showing Southampton to Miami Ta on 5th Nov '19

14 night £1750 for 2 pax

Good ports

Southampton

St Kitts

Roseau

Barbados

St John Antigua

Miami

 

I like this TA as it has a few new ports for me.

 

I agree with the pricing for the Southampton cruises...it seems a lot more expensive than in previous years. :eek:

Do you have any idea when RCCL will release this sailing to the public or C&A members?

If Rhapsody gets cancelled, I'll jump on Explorer

It does make a change to see some different ports.

First I cruise was a 7 night Med on Adventure in 2011. I booked a Ta on Adventure for 2012 and paid half for 15 nights. Loved being able to see the ship and the relaxing sea days.

I also like the Us and they give you a chance to spend a few days before flying home.

I only paid £361pp for the 15 night Ta from Malaga to San Juan. Because it was so cheap we had 5 days in New York on the way home. It was Thanksgiving so I saw the parade as well.

Done the 12 night Med from Barcelona on Serenade with an overnight in Venice. That was a good cruise.

Also done 7 night cruises as well. Norwegian Fjords, West Coast from LA and just off Freedom in September.

Also done a 10 night Greek Island from Rome on Celebrity Constellation.

Made diamond after 5 cruises

Do you know when Rhapsody's remaining itineraries will be announced?

The Indy westbound TA is priced insane!:eek::loudcry:

The eastbound is laso priced quite high.....wonder if they will keep the high prices on both TA's:confused:

Looks like we need to go on Oasis...:rolleyes:

Any word on Spectrum?

I have a feeling she will not sail at all in Europe but transfer empty...:o:mad:

Jewel TA for Fall 2019 has been pulled. We are on that and haven't heard anything from RC. Anyone know what is going on with Jewel after 10/19? Want to get something but will have to wait and hear what RC says.

Thank you so much for posting this! Just booked the B2B Singapore all the way to Barcelona. Amazing rates too. $5k for a solo for all that in a balcony.

I have noticed that as well.

So much options and speculation.

I'm on the Eastbound and it was moved to Miami. Maybe it won't be returning to San Juan.

Or, if Rhapsody is sold, it might be going to Tampa

Its looks that Spectrum is shown at Gibraltar port on APR 19, 2019. So maybe she will be on the way to the far east.

Thanks. Maybe it goes to Southampton before starting its journey east

That was an incredibly cheap TA Alec. At that price although i like port intensive cruises i would have been very interested.
