Additional sailings will most likely be added the week of the 9th of March. There will be a gap in fall 2021 where there is no ship home ported in Tampa while Brilliance is in Boston from September to late November and prior to Rhapsody returning from the transatlantic mid-December 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Just trying to get deposits in and vacation time on work calendars. Also going to book a suite so we can hit diamond after that sailing.

Rare twangster Posted February 17, 2020 #2929 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Quantum's "virtual" LA sailings in the app are no more. Nothing but Singapore through the end of April now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will take precautions but they are really surface level. They will only give you packets of salt and pepper in the MDR but still have menus touched by the previous diners. They also have chairs that people sit on and grab underneath to scoot forward. Do they ever sanitise the chairs, especially in those hidden areas. IMO they need to have a massive increase in hand sanitiser stations throughout the ship. For example, if you want to sanitise your hands between touching the tongs in the windjammer and eating your food, you have to put your food down and walk up to the front of the massive area. There should be auto sanitising stations in every dining cluster in the windjammer. Possibly a serenading trio in the MDR where they give those interested a squirt. Hand sanitizer is antibacterial, not antiviral, so won't protect you against Noro - you would have to go to the hand washing stations that are being installed in the entrance and wash your hands with soap and hot water. There are wipes (Clorox make one) that will protect, so perhaps the solution is for passengers to take matters into their own hands (pun intended) and use them on their hands and utensils before eating. What would be even better would be if ill passengers (those who know it, at least) would stay out of the Windjammer, or if security could bar those who refuse to wash or sanitize (US spelling 🙂 ) but we all know that's not going to happen. 4 hours ago, twangster said: Quantum's "virtual" LA sailings in the app are no more.

What app are you using, by the way? Good grief. I did not know that the sanitiser did not prevent noro. Obviously the cruise lines would know this. They should have someone with tongs handing out the antiviral wipes. They should also have at least two washy washy people because many people will not wait if the washy washy person is busy. Thanks for the heads up. 😔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compman9 Posted February 18, 2020 #2933 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I have no doubt at all that the biggest culprits of the spread of anything on a ship are the tongs in the windjammer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh boy, new format for the compass? Is there a thread on this, I haven't seen anything, but then again, the search results I get aren't always all that accurate which is probably me, not the search tool.

Rare island lady Posted February 18, 2020 #2937 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Currently on Rhapsody this week. Cruise Compass looks the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 18, 2020 #2938 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Oh perhaps you are talking about the separation of activities on Cruise Compass? Guess I got used to it and didn't really pay that much attention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted February 18, 2020 #2939 Share Posted February 18, 2020 For those ships with the new format, activities are grouped by type of event, there is no single chronological listing of all events. Categories are "Good to Know", "Things to do", "Wellness & Retail Therapy" "Entertainment", "Music and Dancing" Old format was chronological With the old chronological listing if is 7pm and you are looking for things to do you look in one place. With the new format if it's 7pm you have to look into each category to see if any activity catches your eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 18, 2020 #2940 Share Posted February 18, 2020 OK..yup. That is how it is formatted currently on Rhapsody, and was the same on the 3 legs on Vision last week. Guess I didn't really pay it much attention for sure. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getting out there Posted February 18, 2020 #2941 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I like the looks of the new format. Everything was squished together on the old one. Now I can look just at the categories I'm interested in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaikG Posted February 19, 2020 #2944 Share Posted February 19, 2020 According to a crew member onboard, Spectrum's final destination is Sydney with a stop in Brisbane along the way to bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banzaii Posted February 20, 2020 #2945 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Is it just me, or does Royal seem really indecisive when it comes to how they are reacting to the various things going on in Asia? At keast when compared with other major lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who booked NCL got shorter cancellation notices, people already flying in to Singapore for cruise then cancelled, others forced to take a 10 day I stop cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking more in terms of thread topic -re redeployment of Asian based ships than handling of cancellations. Don't think there were any gold stars handed out there!

MichellePerth Posted February 22, 2020 #2949 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm booked on b3b on quantum out of Singapore from 28 Dec 2020. I'm looking to shift a deposit (change of sailing) and yesterday noticed that 2 January 2021's 9 night cruise was the only one showing on royals site.
