Andy,

 

You'll have to have a drink on the Connie on my behalf for this.

 

Info is slow in coming out, so I'll do it bit by bit

Thanks Rick.

 

SUMMIT in Europe in 2008 ?????

Do we presume Connie or Millie doing the Alaska season ? If not, and with Solstice debuting Sept'08, that would be an awful lot of tonnage // berths for that market.....unless of course Galaxay or Century are deployed to Alaska.....

Cheers

;)

[chessbriar]

Claude,

 

RCCL will have 7 ships in Europe this year. I wouldn't be surprised if X puts one less in Alaska. We'll see.

 

This is all I see so far. I'll add more once I get it.

[chessbriar]

I was just looking at the UK Celebrity site and it Shows, Millie, Connie, Summit, Century, Galaxy, and Quest all in Europe.

 

I wonder if this is a reflection on the new $50/pp tax Alaska is hitting all cruise passengers with or just a decline in the Alaskan market.

[florisdekort]

Interesting. I read somewhere that Summit is scheduled for the Barcelona to Venice runs... and was assuming that Millennium would thus go to Alaska. If Millennium is in Europe as well, I wonder which itineraries she will be sailing! Constellation and Century are doing Northern Europe, just like in 2007. The only big difference seems to be 2 North Cape cruises.

[Jancruz]

I think the Quest itineraries sound really interesting..I look forward to seeing what the ship looks like when it comes out of drydock!!

Andy,

 

You'll have to have a drink on the Connie on my behalf for this.

 

Info is slow in coming out, so I'll do it bit by bit

 

Will do Rick. I have no idea if we are going yet..... We are still hopeful we will be on Connie next week, but it is all up to Mom, and how she is feeling.

 

I am happy to see you are putting the itineraries up. It is the way it should be. This just wouldnt be the same without you :). Thanks for your great work, as always.

 

I was just looking at the UK Celebrity site and it Shows, Millie, Connie, Summit, Century, Galaxy, and Quest all in Europe.

 

I wonder if this is a reflection on the new $50/pp tax Alaska is hitting all cruise passengers with or just a decline in the Alaskan market.

 

Rick... I think it is a combination of both factors. Everyone overdeployed in Alaska/Hawaii recently, and we saw a lot of good deals out there this season. I wonder if the Cruise lines are sending a little "message" to Alaska, that they made a bad move with the new tax. Perhaps if there are less ships there next year, they will reconsider the move. Time will tell.

 

BTW, it looks like everyone will move the overdeployment game from Alaska/Hawaii, to Europe in 2008. I totally realize Europe is VERY hot right now, but I just cant see them getting TOP dollar with all the ships that will be deployed there. I congratulate them if they can pull it off, but I have my doubts. Who knows, maybe this will be a good thing for the passengers. With all the added capacity, there may be some excellent Europe deals out there in a few months.

[chessbriar]

Millie will be doing Med cruises as well. At least, that's what I'm seeing on the X UK site.

[tom_uk]

I think the Celebrity UK webpage is a bit confusing - it includes both 2007 and 2008 cruises. I think that all the references to Millenium on that page are for 2007; there are Millenium cruises in Europe for 2008

[florisdekort]

Actually it seems Millennium is not in Europe. Full schedules:

My bad, I was looking at the Europe chart and not the new chart. Sorry guys

Looking forward to your next updates Rick! They are greatly appreciated!!! :D
