springaussie Posted January 13 #1801 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Royal did have 2 port booking in Hawaii April 2025 for Quantum. They now are one day out. For Quantum and Ovation. Ovation TP is currently not on sale in most places Sydney to Honolulu. Ovation has never appeared on Hawaii Ports.

So you think Quantum will replace Ovation on the TP and leave 1 day earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyCruiserUK Posted January 15 #1804 Share Posted January 15 Just booked a 7 nighter on Allure of the seas out of barcelona in Oct 25. Went to a cruise show in Lincoln UK just to be nosey and walked away having booked 😂 Hopefully her amplification goes ahead feb- end of march 25. Will be my sister and her families first time on a Oasis class having previously been on Brilliance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Quantum working Ovation’s cruise is what I think is the most likely. But here is something to think about. If you add the time of arrival from Hawaii Ports into Honolulu for Quantum together with the current Ovation departure cruise still on sale to Vancouver this time could easily be used for Spectrum of the Seas US Coast Guard inspection to enter service in the USA. Probably not going to happen but it certainly could explain why so much time in Honolulu and Royal could be looking for an Anthem replacement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see come clarity.. or nothing changes and were creating our own uncertainty! Just want to be able to reliably book our dates for Aulani :/ Although the prices suck because it falls over the Easter window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not released yet we are coming over from Australia and are doing a week on Norwegian Aqua then have a week before we sail on Icon so considering Utopia for the time in between cruises The short cruises are supposed to be released during the week of February 19, 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTCruiser76 Posted January 21 #1813 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Just wondering if the release date of the 2025 Bermuda/Canada-New England/short Caribbean cruises are later than normal this year? It is strange that they are not out yet ?? We are here in the freezing temperatures and researching cruises and want to book a 2025 cruise to Bermuda, but nothing is available yet.......seems late to me, but this could be normal timing? Wouldn't RCCL want cruises available now during wave season? Edited January 21 by CTCruiser76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I saw it an earlier post that it will be Liberty again though. Maybe they'll switch it up for 2026. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Liberty will be calling in St. Marteen in summer 2025, I presume she isn’t sailing from Cape Liberty (that seems a bit far even for the 9-day itineraries). So, perhaps Freedom will be coming to Cape Liberty instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous to 2024, St. Maarten was common on the 9-nighters out of Cape Liberty. I've taken summer 9-nighters that did St. Thomas/St. Maarten/San Juan and San Juan/St. Maarten/Labadee in addition to Bermuda. For some reason, they decided to focus more towards the DR next summer. Liberty's frequency of 1-2x per month and disappearing from the St. Maarten schedule in the fall (when they switch the 9-nighters to Canada/NE) are also consistent with Cape Liberty. If you go back to page 21 on this thread, @Ourusualbeach had the list of ships provided to TAs in each region (original post removed, but still quoted by others). Shows FR in the short Caribbean launch and LB up our way. No real surprise, they like to keep consistent rotations up here for at least a few years before moving ships on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave my wife our 2025 options based off what we can see from here, with a Halifax/Bermuda B2B on Liberty as one of the choices. She's leaning Symphony or holiday cruise on Odyssey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
