Saab4444

She will not go from New York to Singapore for drydock if same is possible in Cadiz before her usual Europe season in Summer.

They always clean and paint the hull in dry dock, also below the water line. But yes, they repaint it in old colors.

The Northern Europe cruises are nearly sold out.

Do you ask for PC or in general? For sure three ships in PC and one of them with seven night cruises is more than sufficient and they will not add a fourth one.

Unfortunately she still has not the blue hull, I don`t know why they don`t update this in line with the rest of the fleet.

Is this a driving to Galveston thread now?

You can switch Captains on Serenade as from Feb 8th.

That was Captain Svein Pettersen on Voyager, also from Norway like nearly all Captains from Royal in the good old days! Captain Bang started Navigator.

A young dog needs to spend time with other dogs and be in the nature not on a crowded noisy ship with a paid temorary dog sitter.

The Captain will change in LA as well. Jason Liberty addressed the Suez issue on the quarter earnings meeting: “Regarding the situation in the Red Sea, the safety of our guests and crew is of top priority and we are constantly monitoring the situation. We only have a handful of repositioning cruises scheduled in the region this year and have already rerouted one of our Silversea ships and have contingency plans for a couple others in the spring.”

She looks nice now but still no blue hull...

If you do this I would keep it for myself and not proudly post it here as a role model for all others.

And five months old post you quoted..

There is nothing to visit on this way.

If you paid in full already or not does not matter, the question is if final payment date has past.

Will not work in most European countries, they did this only during Covid times with special regulations. Same in the UK by the way.

Correct, deployment 2024/25 is done for some weeks. And the remaining World Cruise is part of this deployment so a rerouting discussion is fine there, no need for another one.

There are x-thousands with Diamond status and constantly growing, nothing really special anymore beside the financial benefit of drinks and small other stuff. But if you still spend much extra on an additional cruise you still spend a lot of money....

Shore power connection is needed.

There are a lot more still scheduled for Suez before Resilient Lady including Queen Mary 2, Arcadia, Crystal Serenity and Mein Schiff 2 in March/April.

According to the past pattern in early November 2024.

Al this has been discussed in the OWC thread in detail some weeks ago as cruiseboy89130 constantly refers to this point in various threads... To go around Africa to Gibraltar takes additional about 10-12 days, to East Med little longer about 14-16 days. If Serenade has do this they have to adjust the 18 day Dubai to Athens plus cancel the 11 day Athens to Instanbul cruise and they can continue as scheduled in Istanbul from June 7th. It does not make any sense to cancel more parts from the UWC.

Harmony is going to Europe for dry dock but Summer 26 cruises for Europe and Transatlantics back and force are not published yet.

They can sleep in Winter. E.g. in Tromso they offer midnight concerts every night in the famous Arctic Cathedral.

Yes, it is the time of the midnight sun in Northern Norway so this is the perfect time to visit with daylight at midnight.
