shipfriend_max Posted January 22, 2016 Author #252 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Anyone thing Royal will do the UK, Ireland? Since Vision otS is reported for Amsterdam as turnover between May and June/July, it might be possible that she is doing some cruises around Great Britain. Otherwise, have a look at Princess or Celebrity, those I like more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtopia Posted January 23, 2016 #258 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The itineraries that will come out in March won't go that far out - only through about April of 2018. Oh yes thank you! I meant 2017 :) I'll keep that date in my calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moopetguy Posted January 23, 2016 #261 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Deployment schedule is now released Thanks! Now I have a better idea of when to start hitting "refresh" repeatedly in my web browser on the RCI web site :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted January 23, 2016 #262 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I hope we don't have a repeat of past years when people confuse the deployment schedule and the itinerary schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipfriend_max Posted January 23, 2016 Author #264 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I sure don't see Panama Canal on that schedule! I hardly believe RCCL will offer exotic sailings such as Panama Canal or South America with Cape Horn - seems RCCL did not well with those cruises, others for sure were more succesful. I also do not expect them to offer Mexican Riviera and US West Coast... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewel did PC in May 2015. Figured it was full. Balconies were 3k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewel did PC in May 2015. Figured it was full. Balconies were 3k. As one of the 'west coast refugees', the void by RCCL has allowed us to see that land based vacations are really a better value. We did one of the October trips on Jewel, and all the trips were full 6 months ahead. These Jewel rollcalls were the top 6 of all Jewel rollcalls. We have come to the conclusion that they don't have the smarts to see how to make even seasonal trips work for them. They worked for us, and we really didn't care how much it cost. In just a few short years, we have become elite on Princess and will be content with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uri1961 Posted January 23, 2016 #267 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Awesome!! I will be onboard the Freedom of the Seas on 2/29/16. I will look at the prices for Venice Mediterranean, I am dying to go back, but the rates and airline prices so so high right now. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstewie23 Posted January 23, 2016 #270 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just for clarity...are those weeks mentioned in the deployment schedule when they release the itineraries, or release the itineraries for actual booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin-K Posted January 23, 2016 #271 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I sure hope they have a good 11 or 12 nighter out of Sydney in April 2018. Otherwise I'll have to come up with a Plan B for my birthday that year. Guess I"ll know in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted January 23, 2016 #272 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just for clarity...are those weeks mentioned in the deployment schedule when they release the itineraries, or release the itineraries for actual booking? Same thing. When Royal releases their itineraries, they are available for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted January 23, 2016 Author #273 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Really? I thought the PC cruises did fine. Haven't done west coast on a regular basis in five years. Jewel did PC in May 2015. Figured it was full. Balconies were 3k. Indeed Princess is doing fine on those itineraries, we have also booked them for 2017. RCCL's reason for abandoning West Coast and Mexico is, that its onboard experience cannot be sold @"low price". Acooring to RCCL, all other cruise lines, sailing West Coast and Mexico are low coast carriers... Princess is a low coat carrier, aha... :rolleyes: I think the true reason for that is that RCCL cannot compete with Princess, NCL, HAL and X on those itineraries, so they simply do not deploy any ship there. But than, der RCCL, please stop such showy and cheeky comments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acooring to RCCL, all other cruise lines, sailing West Coast and Mexico are low coast carriers...

I think the true reason for that is that RCCL cannot compete with Princess, NCL, HAL and X on those itineraries, so they simply do not deploy any ship there. But than, der RCCL, please stop such showy and cheeky comments... That reasoning doesn't even make sense. If you stick with that reasoning, RCI might as well pull out of Florida and Europe, also. Feedback in red. I don't understand why you're getting so caught up in why RCI is no longer doing certain cruises. It's simple, they'd prefer to have their ships deployed elsewhere, including additional ships in Asia and Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those prices are starting to look like M/R prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
