No way Serenity or Symphony could maintain 20 knots let alone 22 knots for close to 30 days without coming apart at the seams.Remrmber these are 30 year old ships.  Besides, the fuel use would be enormous. 

You better tell the captain. We will do the 3015 NM from San Diego to Honolulu in 5.5 days that will be over 20knots average.  Should I sleep by the lifeboats?

You might be confused.  I don’t see Perth or Limassol on Symphony’s itinerary. 

I am on Serenity,  sorry 

Actually Perth to Limassol is 24 -25 sea days at 20 knots. Symphony's current itinerary allows 32 days from Perth to Limassol. We could have 6-7 ports maybe an overnight in Capetown and finish the Mediterranean ports as planned.  Time will tell. Serenity can do 21 knots and perhaps 22

I like everyone's wish list for the new itinerary.  I am on the full World Cruise BTW.

The reality, as I see it, is Crystal will follow Carnival Corp in rerouting around Africa. Flying and hotels would be extremely expensive and more disruptive. In addition Serenity and it's crew are too valuable to risk in the Red Sea. 

I would believe most of us are on for the hotel,food, entertainment, service with the itinerary a close fifth.

Going around Africa non stop would only take at about 10 days. Planned from Perth to Limassol 30 days. 

I don't expect any announcements until ports are selected and all logistics finalized. Life should have surprises and wonderment. 

Are you onboard?

All the influencers and TA’s got the nice upgrades. Paying guests will be treated like second class passengers. Watch how they will fall all over the “influencers” It’s a real turn off of the Mediterranean Shipping Company. 

And you know this how?
