Serenade is moving to europe for summer 2012!

[caribbeanboy]

Just found this on another thread. Here is a schedule of Geirangerfjorden showing Serenade making some stops in the summer of 2012! Wondering what will happen to Adventure and if San Juan will stay without a RC ship during the summer months.

Interesting. What country is that in, please?

Norway

Fantastic place to see for those who have never been to Gerainger the Fjord or Norway ... :D

I swear my husband & I must be cursed, sorry everyone! Every ship we've been on in the summer for past couple years leaves for overseas the season after! :confused:

[Ocean Boy]

Very interesting. Now if RCI would put a Freedom class ship down in San Juan I'd be a very happy sailor having my favorite class of ship sailing out of my favorite departure port.... but I need it during winter.

 

Could RCI really be abandoning the Southern Caribbean for the summer?

How much do we have to pay you to stay off the rest of the ships? :D

Maybe Serenade will sail from Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen instead of Vision in 2012 then? :)

On that list, I see 4 departures for the Vision from Norway.

Oh-I so second that!!!:)

Yes, I see it now.

But on my Cruise on Vision last year they told us that in 2012 they wil have a bigger and newer ship sailing from Oslo:)

Serenade is a newer and larger ship than Vision.

[Tropical Traveler]

Will the currently scheduled 4/14/12 cruise probably be the last southern Caribbean sailing the Serenade does before departing for Europe?

 

We had been intending to make plans for a southern Caribbean B2B of the 4/14 and 4/21/12 sailings when the 2012/2013 deployment schedule was released in the spring.

I'm slightly disappointed to hear this, as I'm hoping for Southern Caribbean next summer. Hopefully San Juan sees another ship sailing during the summer months.

We will have to wait and see what happens to Adventure.

Isn't this great?! We're losing another ship to Europe! RCCL will have 11 ships in Europe this summer, which is HALF of the fleet! The last thing Europe needs is yet another RCCL ship next year!!!

 

Hopefully RCCL will keep the Adventure in San Juan instead of sending it to Europe, or send another ship to San Juan for the summer. It's hard for me to imagine San Juan without a ship in the summer.

Why do you think that europe has too many RCI ships? if they send their ship overseas it's because they think (know) that they can fill them up and at a better rate!

I checked the schedules and they don't have anything out of San Juan from May 2012 on.

[mjsshipboy]

Nothing is scheduled past May 2012.

I check these prices out on the RCL uk web site Friday.

 

A 14 night cruise on Independence out of Southampton and a 14 night on Liberty out of Fort Lauderdale. The RCL are making approximately $1200 more per stateroom per cruise.

But aren't the Liberty 14 nighters transatlantic repo cruises?

 

Repo cruises are almost always a lot less expensive.

Yep. That is the only 14 day cruise on the Liberty that I am aware of.

[trojan3000]

I am taliking about any 14 night b2b on liberty is $1200 less than 14 nights on Independence

Exactly what I meant! they made a lot more bucks in europe than in the US.

Maybe they are just trying to put another ship into Europe and keeping a ship in San Juan

RCI has decided to put the Radiance Down Under next year with the Rhapsody. Carnival is going to have a ship in Australia next year for the first time and a ship in Europe.

Can only be good for the competition and bring the prices down.
