Congratulations on new home. At our age we are ready to stay put in FL and enjoy the weather and cruising.

When are fall 2025 TA sailings supposed to be released? And what ships are likely in the mix? Looking for ones with a FlowRider.

Look for the 2025-2026 deployment thread later this summer- it will discuss this. Nothing will likely come out before Nov.

LOL!   I eat veggie burgers...and love tofu.   I have DH on board with the veggie burgers, but he won't eat tofu. 😄 

We eat a lot of Tofu….and tempeh….. I’ve taken all the recipes that previously were made with chicken and now make them with Tofu. DH likes it now too.

How does that relate to the deployment?

Welcome to Cruise Critic and the standard of "drift" that happens on long running threads.  😉

I'm convinced that "Welcome to Cruise Critic" is the equivalent to "Bless your heart" 😉 Personally, I love it when people say it.

Aww...thanks...you are sooo sweet to say so.  😉 

 

And...once again we are off topic.  The topic police will be showing up soon.  😄

Bring it on.  Fingers still crossed for an Allure 2025 WB TA.

Apparently Bayley just slipped, or almost slipped, or fake slipped, on a call

 

He (somewhat intentionally) started to state "Utopia is going into the short..." 

 

Then he stopped himself.

Australian 2024-25 season itineraries on sale on 4/5. Ovation and Quantum based here again. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/international/aus-new-deployment-2021/AUS-24-25-cruise-planner.pdf

Wondering when the 2024/2025 Asia season will be available, 2023/2024 pretty weak.

From memory, I think Singapore is to be released in July sometime? With China, I guess it's probably more a case of wait and see on whatever restrictions may be in place

They even went as far as to edit that part out when you listen to the taped event.

 

Pretty much confirms Utopia to Port Canaveral taking over the short itineraries from Allure

On the other hand Bayley has made statements before that never come to fruition.  He loves to play this game.

 

I'll believe it when the deployment team announces her itineraries.

That was my thought as well.   Hello "Disneyfied" 3 and 4 night theme cruises to Coco Cay and Nassau.  😄

Gave up waiting on the Aussie 24/25 season that was promised to come out each month by Next Cruise since last December.  

 

Viking now has that business from us.   Already booked weeks ago with Viking.  Not to mention our Aussie adventure was cancelled by RCI not once, but twice.  Done with RCI on that.  Their loss.
