Unfortunately, there are no accessible Grand Suites. Our TA is trying to get a Junior Suite for the Grand Suite price ( now doesn’t that sound odd!!!) The bummer will be that the Jr won't have all the GS perks like no access to the suite lounge, no happy hour, etc. If you're trying to go as a group.

ONECRUISER Posted February 17, 2023 #1079 Share Posted February 17, 2023 1 hour ago, TravelTonic said: Today I booked a GS on the 7night Cabo, Vallarta, Mazatlán 4/18/2025 Navigator sailing for $2,658.12 (2person). Strange enough the GS1BR is listed for 1,186pp, standard balcony 1,155pp, GS2BR $1,506pp, JR Suite $1,883pp. Seems like some sort of mess up (on RCL's part) on a bunch of those Navigator sailings - particularly the 2025 listings that are recently listed. Royal IT is good for that, even more so when Sailings are released. Few yrs ago had a 2Bd/2Ba to myself, cheaper then a Balcony Cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main routing for cruises out of Copenhagen was to the Baltic and, in particular, Russia, which is off limits right now for obvious reasons. Last season's sailings had to be re-routed and the loss of the Russia stops made the itineraries less appealing, leading to poor sales and low occupancy levels. There was some speculation earlier in the thread that there might still be a (smaller) ship to come for Europe that might sail from Copenhagen, but it's anyone's guess right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the loss of St. Petersburgh was certainly a factor it wasn't the only one. Europe in general was down due to the reluctance of Americans to travel to Europe last year. We did the 11 night sailing last year and it was phenomenal even without St Petersburg and am looking to book the similar itinerary on one of the WC legs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey to Cape Liberty Oasis in Fort Lauderdale for 6/8 nighters Rhapsody in San Juan starting in June, and I assume will continue through winter Jewel in Galveston. 9 night itinerary is showing Explorer on longer cruises from Miami Radiance in Tampa for 7 nighters Brilliance in NOLA for 7 nighters Will post more if I find any Sorry for the silly question, but I am a rc newb.

Rhapsody is probably going to be in San Juan from May 2024 through at least April 2025. Explorer will probably start her longer cruises in November 2024 until at least April 2025 as she is in Europe summer 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummmerInKefalonia Posted February 17, 2023 #1087 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Also not yet mentioned: Limassol/Haifa cruises in 2024 seem to have been omitted.

That test cruise you posted of the 10 night looked enticing, but won’t be doable because my wife is a teacher. Hopefully the rhapsody comes to fruition as San Juan is our favorite home port. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
