More Venice proposed changes. Makes ships tours smaller!!! Venice to ban large tourist groups and loudspeakers https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67851201 by George Wright and Adam Durbin

Could someone please post the summary of where all ships will be based please? I’ve lost track! Unknown is still Jewel.

Remember the big ships dock a long way from the cities such as Bangkok or HCMC which takes a lot of travelling time to reach.

For those who insist the Red Sea is closed… new Saudi cruise line Aroya will launch next year sailing from Jeddah ( which is on the Red Sea) using the former 19 deck World Dream

@Racer70 interporting is common for Oasis class ships in the Med, and it is possible because the ship does the same circuit every week. If it’s Monday it must be Palma! No the ship won’t be half full for some of the time as those who board in Barcelona will stay on for the full 7 days to complete their cruise loop, and those who board in Rome will also be on for 7 days for their loop. It means that if you board in Barcelona on your 4th evening you may see suitcases 🧳 in the hall way as Rome is day 5 so the Rome lot will be getting off and the new Rome people will embark. It has also been mentioned that those who board in Rome have issues with the app and not being able to book things as everything is geared to Barcelona being the main embarking port. Look at MSC cruise and they will inter port at every port on their Med loop!

@EllaDuChienHope you have packed your waterproofs - the rain in Sydney is terrible at the moment! Did you book the Elephants via the ship or privately?

WC arrives in Dubai May 9, and is going through Suez May 19/20th

Fabulous start… looking forward to hearing how Spectrum is just a little different… looking forward to seeing her for myself in February

No turkey 🦃 on Christmas Day ???!! The Brits will be outraged!

We must be on the same Oasis… that’s my price too. However that was booked before prices skyrocketed 🚀

We are on 8 on Spectrum. It’s classified as obstructed but i cant see anything! What # did you get?

15n TP $1284pp balcony, seems cheap to me using my $100pppn guideline.

My USA TA has just posted groups for both anthem sailings. Great prices!

I first saw them in Chicago in 2001 (ish) … fabulous!

And of course if the cabin is allocated beforehand you will receive notification from RCI/ your TA

Next May?! Don’t even bother panicking or checking for your cabin # until 45 days out when you can check in, then use the Apple Wallet trick to see if your cabin has been assigned (even if it still shows as GTS in your planner). At those prices there is no way this cruise is going to be sold out ! £4658 for a gty interior for 2. They are having a laugh. That’s $5869.

YC is definitely not “hit or miss”! You can’t fault it. MSC ships are beautiful, stylish and Italian. If you go expecting American food and service you’ll be disappointed. It’s refreshingly different

I looked at Icon the day she came out for a cruise in Jan 2025 when she would be a year old. It was £1463pp starting price for a balcony. Now it is £2513pp starting price.... over £5000 for a week to go to PDCC... ridiculous! Enjoy World Europa - fabulous ship!

Don't give them ideas!!

As I said ^^, the change was as of last week - I suspect you received these docs before last week. My docs for my next cruise also have the 'old' information in.

It no longer autofills the password

The obc/dollars off for booking transatlantic and repositioning cruises On Board has been reduced as of Dec 15, 2023 3-5nights And repositioning cruises obc inside/oceanview $25 balcony/js $50 grand suite and above $150

Not announced yet. Keep watching this for updates https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2025_2026/2025-2026_Deployment_Opening_Schedule.pdf

@cruise_co Utopia isn’t built for kids is it? Thought it was a regular Oasis class? Icon/Star is the kiddy ship.

https://www.kln.gov.my/web/usa_new-york/news-from-mission/-/blogs/malaysia-digital-arrival-card-mdac- it only talks about KLIA and arrival gates.. but it seems pretty straightforward to fill in, so not really an onerous requirement The UK gov page says Declaration form You must fill in the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card to enter Malaysia. You should complete this before you travel as it may be requested at check-in. You do not need to complete the arrival form if you are not passing through immigration. See the Malaysian Immigration website for further information, including exemption details. I don’t recall any immigration at Port Klang. But better to be safe than sorry!
