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.

Thanks for this site Geoff! I notice on this page Vision Of The Seas 24/25 season is the booking name for 3 cruises Cairns and Port Douglas. I do not know if they are traces from Brilliance being here next season.

One of the Travel Agents based in Sydney which may have been owned by Royal is selling a package to The Holy Land ion Odyssey of the Seas in October. This cruise has been changed to Greek Islands etc for a few months now.

The Ovation Cruises for 24/25 season. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2024_2025/Australia/23008669_2024-2025_OV_Australia_Deployment_Flyer.pdf

Very Interesting. It will be interesting to see how Sir Richard gets back to Greece in April. Plus the Princess World Cruise from Oz. Not to mention the ones before, in between and the cruises after.

Ovation just disappears Geoff after Easter 2025. I would love to know to know the real status of China cruises. Geoff do you have any guesses on what Royal could be selling up to October 2026 in the remaining deployment? Normally nothing goes on sale after April for each deployment.

The current last cruise on sale finishes 4 April 2025. Brisbane has a new port booking 6 April 2025 for Quantum. Sydney has a new port booing for Quantum 8 April 2025. So it looks like a 2 nighter 4 to 6 April 2025 from Brisbane. Then Quantum goes on an adventure from 8 April 2025. Ovation’s Trans Pacific the most probable.

I wonder if the travel agent is selling from group space. As far as I know no one has received notification saying that Ovation Trans Pacific is canceled.

I see one of the big names for Royal Caribbean Fans Travel Agents based in Sydney is advertising Ovation Sydney to Hawaii April 2025 tonight on social media.

I have often thought why Royal doesn’t go via Asia like Carnival to and from Alaska. On the other hand Celebrity repositions from Asia to Alaska via Sydney on Celebrity Solstice. With Oasis Class Geoff do you think it can’t go via the Suez?

The recent passenger numbers I have seen have not been that high for Aussies from Singapore. The longer cruises seem to get a lot more Aussies. As far as Spectrum in China is going who knows what is going on with sales. I am prepared for both Chilli total withdrawal from China or increased capacity including Oasis Class.

The Speculation on Social Media is increasing Oasis Class be in will be in Oz 25/26 season.

USA travel agents have some great prices on the Anthem Southampton to Singapore now. If Anthem did stay in the Atlantic that leaves Singapore without a ship.

My guessing has the ship name changing to Quantum for this cruise.

Work Alaska cruises out of San Fransisco Chilli for Ovation? I was checking some stuff about 2 days ago to see if an extra ship could be in Alaska and found nothing to back it up!

Thanks

Brilliance is missing Mystery Island today. Turned around approx 2100 last night because of a medical emergency and is taking the patient to Port Villa.

The Coming Soon Normally defers to the rest of the Deployment like Australia, Singapore, China and anything else. We probably will not see this group until around Easter or even later.

Ovation has never been on the Hawaii List for anytime in 2025. This is why I have always been thinking Ovation is the weakest link and going elsewhere. Japan is a possibility. But I am just waiting for other ports to update the cruise calls so I can get an idea of what Miami Office are doing.

Chilli My guessing has the Ovation Hawaii to Vancouver cruise will now be worked by Quantum April 2025. A new longer cruise will run 2 days earlier from Sydney worked by Quantum. With most non essential staff on holidays in Oz for the Christmas period a few more port bookings should appear around Oz in the next fortnight.

Papeete Ports has deleted the west bound 19 October 2025 booking for Anthem of the Seas. 19 April 2026 booking still on Papeete Ports for Anthem.

Chilli Quantum of the Seas is currently on sale for the cruise arriving into Brisbane 4 April 2025 Royal have made extra port booking into Brisbane 6 April 2025 to run a 2 night cruise 4 to 6 April 2025. Quantum will then reposition to Sydney to do the Ovation Trans Pacific 8 April 2025. Good question what is happening to Ovation. One of the Next Cruises told someone Ovation is China bound.

Dubai is one of the main end/start sectors of the world cruise. Canceling the cruise in Dubai would have to be one of the options on the table In the Miami Deployment Office f the situation arose. Flor the time being my guessing still has Serenade and Anthem going via the Suez.

Chilli the Ports North Booking shows Celebrity Edge 29 February 2024 at Yorkeys Knob. I haven’t heard since pre Covid about the size going to Voyager Class. It was going to be a gradual trial of size.
