For what it's worth, RCI's CruiseMatch booking system lists "Allure of the Seas" as doing a 12-night Transatlantic Port Everglades - Malaga - Barcelona April 19th, 2015, with a 7-night Mediterranean cruise roundtrip from Barcelona departing May 24th, 2015. The ship's scheduled drydock could be in between.

Also just noticed Allures Caribbean sailings from 26 April 2015 have been closed for selling.

eeeeeeee :D:D:D:D

There's announcements being made to travel agents tomorrow over a series of webinars. hope its deployment!

From a blog:

"According to a ship docking schedule for cruise ports in Italy, Allure of the Seas is scheduled to dock in Naples

Beginning January 15 ,2015

 

One possible scenario is Allure of the Seas is going to Europe for routine drydock maintenance and will offer a few cruises while "in the area", which is similar to what Oasis of the Seas has planned for next summer.

But this not confirmed."

Im glad youve posted this. I've been hearing lots of rumors about Allure doing the med but couldnt find it mentioned anywhere here!

I have a feeling she will stay for a full season after the success of Oasis sailings this year.

Apparantly new deployment will be open for sale week commencing 3rd March so I guess we'll find out soon enough.

There is no 'price match promise', like there is in the US. But usually they can reprice a booking at todays costing.

As Debbie says, it is definitely worth giving them a call to check!

Should the sailing be outside the US, then a 19 year old can benefit from the classic beverage package.

As far as I am aware, if a Caribbean sailing or any other itin departing from the states, they would only apply the beverage package to yourself.

I'm hoping Indy and Anthem will both be in UK and Adventure will be the one to be re-deployed, we love Indy.

It's already been confirmed that Anthem is replacing Indy. Adventures 2015 summer season will still be in Southampton

I also can't wait for her to come to Southampton!

"Y'all" won't believe where Indy will be based for 2015 :cool:

Not for long is my guess. New system will provide points on $$$ spent is where I think this is going.

 

Spend more and earn more points.

Very good theory :)

All details official on November 25th.

This is correct

Well, since Joff is normally on Indy, maybe this means Indy is coming back to the US for good after Anthem deploys to England?:)

Would be nice out of Texas....... ;)

Liberty also has all the dreamworks shenanigans and a nicer looking cupcake cupboard. And as previous poster has stated.. Saturday Night Fever!!

Both ships are very similar but in my opinion Liberty has the edge over Indy.

I think the big announcement is that for everyone residing in the UK they will be subjected to hefty fuel surcharges like British Airways imposes:D

I would love to sit back and watch the meltdown on these boards if that happened!

I'm always hearing of people booking on the guarantee basis and then kicking up a big stink once their room has been allocated.

why oh why book on guarantee if the room location is so important to you!!

I guest that's people for you lol

This is what I found..

As of April 2014, there’ll be more to Adventure of the Seas® than ever before. Thanks to an amazing new makeover, your guests will enjoy even more fantastic features, innovations, entertainment and delectable dining options. The wait is almost over!

Just some of the new features you’ll find onboard:

•Royal Babies and TotsSM Nursery for little ones aged 6–36 months

•Massive Outdoor movie screen overlooking the main pool area

•Giovanni’s Table dishing up a great choice of hearty Italian fare

•Cupcake Cupboard serving freshly baked, gourmet cupcakes

•Digital signage to keep you updated on what’s on and where

•Touchscreen Wayfinders to help you find your way around the ship

Interesting. Looks like she is starting earlier than expected. Other stops on that schedule include Balboa and Zeebrugge.

Yaaaaay! I'm really excited we are getting Anthem departing from Southampton :D

I'm eaves-dropping on a "What's new with RCI" webinar later this week. If there is ANYTHING new regarding Quantum, I'll be taking notes and uploading info as quickly as I can.

 

 

Thanks Russ!! ;)

gaaaaaaaaaah, i want some new details! What's the hold up

I noticed the "topless" deck on both Independence & Adventure.

I did not see anything on Allure - but then again I wasn't looking for it!

I found the Viking crown lounge to be really quiet during the day.

(But check cruise compass to make sure there are no activities there at the time)

I really enjoyed the show - the ship looks amazing and just HUUUUUGE.

I so want to go on Allure, the only thing putting me off was that the ship looked PACKED. People everywhere!

The customer services lady (Sam?) was very funny
