FamilyCruiserUK Posted September 24, 2023 #401 Share Posted September 24, 2023 P&O are very good value for money for cruises to norway and baltics. Predominantly norway and the fjords. Very cheap during UK term time. 👍 Still cant belive how slow Royal are in releasing their summer 25 cruises in Europe...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m booked on Millennium in Japan for 3/25 but hoping to swap that to RCI if possible. But it would need to do a lot of Japanese ports which I think a repo wouldn’t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted September 24, 2023 #405 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Thanks everyone for the Baltic itinerary help. I guess we'll have to look to Azamara instead. I don't think I can convince my DH to ever go on an NCL ship again. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, With the greatest of respect, having read all the postings on this thread - and its general title, it doesn't seem to be specific to or from anywhere so I just added my two pennyworth.

I think Anthem is going to Alaska for this Hong Kong booking. Singapore to Tokyo Then Tokyo to Seattle/Vancouver. Oh, wow!!! We're doing a best of Japan on Celebrity 4/8/25 -4/20/25. It would be so cool if a Tokyo-Vancouver sailing were available to bring us back to North America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They been pretty consistent last 5 yrs(but for CV). Shoot Royal is Fast compared to less then 10yrs ago when they were releasing in May/June for the next yr April threw Summer, with some less then yr out. Lot my Cruises are Booked 560+ days out, in past some would be less then a yr. Though don't see Royal releasing any further out then they do, with so much time Cruises get Canceled, Ship or Ports Change. Happens to me 2-4 Cruises a yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in a repositioning cruise. Thanks I suspect these will be the QC deployments for 2025, based on port bookings and general knowledge. The only one that is a complete guess would be Singapore/China from May 2025. I suspect that the two ships will be Quantum and Spectrum, but not sure on which one would be based where. Quantum: Brisbane, Australia (Jan-Apr 2025) & Singapore/China (From May 2025) Anthem: Singapore (Jan-Apr 2025) & Alaska (May-Oct 2025) & Australia (From October 2025) Ovation: Sydney, Australia (Jan-Apr 2025) & Alaska (May-Oct 2025) Spectrum: Shanghai, China (Jan-Apr 2025) & Singapore/China (From May 2025) Odyssey: Cape Liberty, NJ (Jan-Apr 2025) & Civitavecchia, Italy (May-Oct 2025) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the huge increase in demand and the corresponding uptick in pricing I'm not sure that Royal will be jumping on sending multiple ships to China right away. I think it will be a cautious approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always want value for money and thats from leaving my door to getting back in my house. Hopefully Royal are competitive on summer 25 cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t really thinking China,They would probably send something newer there. I was thinking Singapore/Sydney surely we must be due for some hand downs by then.
