Grandeur doing 15n Boston to Greenland Sept 2024. It's available now

Thank you so much for letting me know. I thought they would do Greenland once again from Cape Liberty. Now all I have to say is WOW! Grandeur spacious balcony is $7,860.06! Absolutely crazy. Good bye Greenland.

Anthem turns ten early 2025.

So she would be due for one before Northern Summer 2025.

July 2025 it should be having a dry dock from what I can work out.

The last available cruise I can see is south Hampton October 2024.

That leaves a bit of a hole ? It might do a repo to Asia and do it there.

Odyssey TA on sale - 3 November 2024 Rome to Cape Liberty 

Explorer TA - 2 November 2024 Barcelona to Miami

Looking at Odyssey for Jan or Feb 2025, but having trouble pulling the trigger —- usually not a problem. Does anyone other then me think that the location of all the GS’s is awful? The JS’s have a much better location on the hump, the GS’s have no forward view and no privacy on the balcony. 
 

Also my wife struggles walking long distances and the Suite lounge all the way aft makes me think we will not use it as much as we do on Oasis class.

Once you get there it looks great, it’s the 42 cabins my wife has to walk past to get there.

I actually love having CK separated from the SL.

A good possibility.

But I don’t think 2 ships out of Brisbane would be viable .

Sydney ??,if they can get port bookings but what about Auckland as a home port for Anthem??

Auckland is 4 hours less flying time from the U.S . That’s a big thing to cut down that 14 hour killer flight and it could also do the NZ itinerary.

If you put Anthem in Auckland you would have to depart the freight terminal.

2 ships in Sydney Ovation to NZ. Anthem South Pacific’s. 
Quantum from Brisbane to mainly South Pacific.

Does anyone know what’s happening with Allure deployment? I can only see cruises until Jan 25.

As far as I know, nothing has been announced past Jan. Allure is due a dry-dock in 2025, as her last one was in 2020.

 

I’m wondering if she may come out of service in January and have her full amplification that was planned for 2020, before doing the 7-day Mediterranean itinerary in 2025 which usually begins around April. Her postponed amplification was supposed to take 58-days, so add a week of sailing to Cadiz and the timing looks about right to me.
