Deployment 2019-20 booking season begins

I think if Anthem went back to Southampton, it would be Navigator that would move.

I think Southampton would fill Indy and Anthem and the prices for this year are high

I would be happy with Navigator

In the winter. Nav and Indy are in Southampton.

Have to wait and see if Nav does a Ta or goes somewhere else for the summer '19 after Anthem gets it's dry dock

Navigator is in Miami from April/May 2019 until at least April 2020 doing 3/4 Bahamas cruises.

Senior moment.

Just got off Explorer and was told many times they will be in Southampton for Summer 2019 then going to Miami to replace Navigator.

That's what makes the most sense, and port schedules seem to indicate.

That can indicate possibly nav or ex coming to Bayonne and other to Miami

That's great news if it holds. Hope EX will do the S. Caribbean route the Navigator did.

 

springaussie - How was sailing on Explorer? I know Navigator and Mariner are newer and their balcony structure is different from the other Voyager Class ships that have a balcony as part of their super structure.

 

Thanks

[pspercy]

Keep dreaming Karen.

I wish they would gat back to the West Coast

 

Love 'em or not, Carnival is putting a brand new ship on the west coast:

Yes, we've been on Carnival, it was just fine, more alike Royal than not.

Explorer went well.

The interior is in good condition but the white paint on the exterior is deteriorating.

MY Time is on deck 3.

The Navigator is doing a transatlantic in November before being homeported in Miami. It will be in dry dock for 5 weeks before it starts up it's 5/9 day cruises and 3 & 4 day Bahamas cruises on February 1.

[cruiserdudebobby8]

So it looks like possible navigator for Bayonne

How do you come to that assumption?

 

If she's being refitted like Mariner, that is a design destined for short Florida cruises

Bob - Thanks for that insight. It's hard to image the LA market not being profitable for them and behind NO. But looks like the not so "profitable" thing has been going on for a while ever since Mariner left.

I feel for the West Coat folks hoping for something more permanent.

 

LOL, I gave up hope a long time ago. RCI gives many different reasons for not returning to California -- there is some validity to all of them, but "history" shows that they really have no interest in a permanent ship in California. Money is probably the biggest factor in their decision.

 

Keep dreaming Karen.

I'm not holding my breath, lol!

If explorer goes to Miami, and Anthem goes to Southampton, navigator could to go Bayonne as explorer is heading to Miami as per rumors onboard, Indy and anthem most likely in Southampton as Indy is popular there. I'd love Indy in Bayonne too

Does anyone have any theories on Oasis for the Fall of 2019? I see a gap between the last sailing in Europe and the first one in Florida. I know it is going to be refurbished and wondering if anyone knew anything about a TA over either before or after refurbishing? Hoping to do that if it is happening....

Nothing from the cruise line. Could be they are delaying any new itineraries so they don't have to cancel like they did with the Mariner TA.

[stamford57]

Any ideas on when RC will tell us the release date for summer 19 Europe from Southampton? I’m very impatient 😂😂

Royal and other cruise lines are trying to get permission to turnaround from the Grain Terminal if the new cruise terminal in Brisbane is not ready for December 2019.

The Southampton deployment could have a possible link to this situation l.

Just off Oasis yesterday and, according to the captain during the captain's corner, they will be finishing the refurbishment on the way back to Miami. (He also said it would be a $200 million refurb, as well)

Did the captain mention if it will be a revenue service?

My husband clarified (because my memory is shot, I guess) that, indeed, the $200 million is for the hotel side. I will also note that there are a ton of signs around the ship for Wonderland. There is, of course, no Wonderland.
