ONECRUISER Posted July 27, 2018 #26 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Spoke to RCCL, Anthem being dry docked after April 5th 2020 sailing. Unsure of replacement as of yet :o:o No surprise. All the ship's need at least a once every 5 year Marine side Dry Dock, usually only takes 2 weeks but it's due. Could just go do it and come back later, or much later if it does Europe over Summer... We may not know until next dates are released in Dec or Spring 2019... Edited July 27, 2018 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 27, 2018 #27 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Spoke to RCCL, Anthem being dry docked after April 5th 2020 sailing. Unsure of replacement as of yet :o:o Not necessarily. She will go for a drydock sometime in 2020, that is all we know. Ships itineraries have only been released until April for most ships so the fact that April 5 is her last sailing does not mean anything. She may go in the fall of 2020. The reps make stuff up figuring that most people will believe whatever they tell them when in actuality they know the exact same as us which in this case is nothing.

lovescats5 Posted July 27, 2018 #28 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I noticed, not sure when, that Anthem would be moving overseas. I am thinking to Southhampton but not sure. Would be a good reason to fly to London and cruise on the Anthem a third time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted July 27, 2018 #29 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well... Ovation is coming over from the Far East to Alaska in 2019 so maybe Anthem will replace her? Anthem is sailing from Cape Liberty through December 2019 so It wouldn't be until 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted July 27, 2018 #30 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Anthem is sailing from Cape Liberty through December 2019 so It wouldn't be until 2020. You can book Anthem cruises from Bayonne up to April 5, 2020. I'm booked on a few in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaylemh Posted July 28, 2018 #34 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I'm guessing the April 5th cruise might be the last before dry dock. Usually when the itineraries are released for the spring they go to almost the end of April. This last release ended with the April 5th cruise.

The drydock would be in Europe so there would be a TA involved. That could be the reason for sailings only until the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know they would have to have a sailing to the dry dock port. I was referring to the last close loop cruise out of Bayonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trixie21 Posted July 28, 2018 #39 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Anthem is showing up in several port listings in Europe during summer 2020 all of which suggest a summer season from Southampton after the 5 year dry dock in Europe . Interestingly , independence of the seas is also showing up so they obviously feel the market is there for both.

She may go in the fall of 2020. Can't go in the fall. She came out in April of '15 so the dry dock has to happen in the spring.

Yogi21 Posted July 28, 2018 #42 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Anthem has 4 port bookings in 2020 at Gibraltar, June 9th,Aug 5th and 20th.Oct 7th which indicates that she is spending the summer out of Southhampton. Indy also has bookings in Gibraltar in 2020. Information is on Gibraltar port schedule. Edited July 28, 2018 by Yogi21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker, who foresees a potential non-revenue TA directly to dry dock after the 4/5/20 sailing. Is there any flexibility in the 5 year date? I know that there is with the dates for the 2 1/2 year drydock for ships older than 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
