We're booked for the Eastbound Panama Canal from San Pedro to Miami Oct 1. If she's coming to the West Coast she's taking the long way to get here. Someone thought it’s going in to dry dock. Some of the ships have a lot marine growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted July 19, 2021 #3877 Share Posted July 19, 2021 They must be doing a crew swap of all three are together in Limassol. Someone mentioned that new crew was joining and they were getting their safety training while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted July 19, 2021 #3878 Share Posted July 19, 2021 When Explorer went from the Pacific to the Atlantic in 2019 she used the Suez Canal. When Voyager moves from the Pacific to the Atlantic in 2022 she is slated to use the Suez Canal. Whatever the reason Navigator has every appearance of using the Suez Canal. I think it's safe to say this class can't use the Panama Canal. Pity Navigator can't do Hawaii to LAX as a revenue cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea trials start 22 August and deployment in March to China. That leaves 3-4 months in limbo. Singapore or Hong Kong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Quantum is deployed in Singapore till February,so that doesn’t look likely. I think a early start in Hong Kong is likely. BUT our state governments are looking for a way to thank our frontline medical workers. Royal has done it before with spectrum. A couple of visits to Australia and take the medicos on would be a foot in the door for the local cruise industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted July 21, 2021 #3884 Share Posted July 21, 2021 A few months ago who would have predicted that the US with the CDC CSO in play would become the hotbed of cruising globally for the summer of 2021? All bets are off. I'm not trying to predict anything from here forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word says, Wonder might have been planned to replace Quantum for the rest of the season. But this is still very much speculation at this point.

Chiliburn Posted September 13, 2021 #3888 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It was on the radio that the getting ship has started in Hong Kong and maybe the American ship may not start. Does anyone know about spectrum? Voyager has gone back to Singapore I believe. Do you think Wonder will have problems with China because it’s a American ship and the current tensions?

springaussie Posted September 26, 2021 #3892 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It is possible we could be in this situation soon. Royal will get sick of waiting for approval from Australia to cruise in December 2021. Ovation will go to Florida or New York to start cruises November 2021. Spectrum will take Ovation’s spot in Alaska 2022.. Royal will pull out of China like other cruise lines have already done. Just putting the scenario up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
