So if Odyssey is the only ship being released in Phase 2, that confirms that Brilliance has been pulled from Europe and Explorer will not be returning either.

Unlike Brilliance where port evidence was clear that the ship was being moved, there is currently no direct evidence of where Explorer is. They just added the Gibraltar calls 2 weeks ago.  A second tier European embarkation port would be a thought, but with Royal's history is unlikely. (Lisbon / Malaga ...) 

 

Explorer could easily be pulled to Bayonne or Port Canaveral or even just stay at Miami, but then the new Gibraltar call bookings become a big mystery.

Thank you.

Do we know which other ship (if any) is coming to the UK?

Anthem Fjords is pretty awesome sounding!

I just wish they would go above the Arctic Circle!

I am disappointed with how many short cruises there are. I  looking for 12 nights minimum. 
 

Hopefully the 2nd batch will have longer cruises.

[royzer76]

Waiting patiently for the different Eastbound TA (US to UK or Europe) ... I'm not really feeling the Anthem ones showing up so far.

I heard someone say the pricing for cruises is usually cheaper when they first release. The pricing is outrageous, but I hope to score a good deal as the sail date nears.

Lot ones I'm looking at are typical from last yrs. Some  I book can double by time Final Payment due. Another reason book day of release is I like get my Choice Cabin,...

We were hoping for a grand suite and it seems like the pricing for those is almost the same across every ship they released today. A little bummed by that, it’s more than I was hoping to spend.

Looking to book cat. 8D or 7D balcony on Western Med. / Harmony for week of June 13 but none are available through RCCI.  The itinerary just opened up 2 hours ago, how is this possible?

Maybe group space given to travel agencies?

Did you call or just check the website?  I checked 4 different cruises on 2 different ships and each had only 2 categories of suites listed. It doesn’t seem likely so many suites would be reserved even by travel agents.

This itinerary looks a little bit different form the other years ..

It is just through October that she is booked actually. 

Here are the October Cayman bookings: 

 

1.	Liberty of the Seas	Royal Caribbean Cruises	4,400	4,400	2021-10-06 10:30:00.000	2021-10-06 18:00:00.000
2.	Liberty of the Seas	Royal Caribbean Cruises	4,400	4,400	2021-10-13 10:30:00.000	2021-10-13 18:00:00.000
3.	Liberty of the Seas	Royal Caribbean Cruises	4,400	4,400	2021-10-20 10:30:00.000	2021-10-20 18:00:00.000

But couldn't this mean that they moved the Liberty to New Orleans as a homeport and they're just keeping the same basic itinerary?

Rhapsody from Venice, 1 Anthem in May from Southampton and 2 Visions from Barcelona for 2021 are available to book on RCI UK and Ireland. And yes...very pricey!

I thought I was doing something wrong when that’s all I could see. 

[jholzhauser]

I'm waiting for more Baltic cruises to load up. There's about 3ish or so in the window of June-August 2021 all on Jewel. I'm hoping a few more appear between now and tomorrow. Itching to book! Has anyone confirmed up if Odyssey is the only ship with itineraries coming out in Europe phase 2? Between this and Disney Plus launching today, I'm just attached to my computer hahaha

Anything is possible if you want it to be, but Majesty has port bookings showing she is booked year round at New Orleans in 2021 according to Key West port bookings.

I booked today, and I was lucky enough to get the cabins I've been eyeing for months! Deck 10, aft junior suites...there are only 2 on the whole ship, and I actually got them 😃

Okay, thanks for that.  Will there only be 1 ship doing New Orleans 7 night cruises then?
