CruisinGerman Posted June 5, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The fact that RCCL may re-arrange from time to time the ships it runs out of its established ports isn't really an exciting rumor, in my opinion. Is this in addition to, or in lieu of, the Explorer that is already there? I don't think they would pull the Explorer (which nearly always sails full), in favor of a smaller ship, or in favor of a ship with less exciting facilities. Just like the Liberty got to Barcelona this season, after years of Barcelona sailing Voyager Class ships, I wouldn't be surprised if Liberty or a Freedom Class ship eventually got sent to New Jersey, but I don't think RCCL would pull a Voyager Class ship in favor of the Serenade. Just my unfounded opinion. Kind regards, Gunther and Uta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenfever Posted June 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I thought Serenade was staying over in Europe to do the itineraries that Brilliance did as Brilliance will be berthed in San Juan doing similar itineraries that Serenade did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted June 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I thought Serenade was staying over in Europe to do the itineraries that Brilliance did as Brilliance will be berthed in San Juan doing similar itineraries that Serenade did. What is the point of switching two Radiance class ships and having them do each other's itineraries? I'm not saying it isn't the case but I don't see the sense in it.

DonnaK Posted June 5, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Another ship in Bayonne is exciting. Too bad Silhouette is only there during the winter. A more exciting rumor would be if Serenade (or any other ship) was returning to San Juan for Southern Caribbean cruises during the SUMMER of 2012 and beyond.

DonnaK Posted June 5, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2011 To give people a change in ships. exactly...one problem with going on the same ship more than once is that the shows are all the same. Swapping ships would provide different shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted June 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2011 exactly...one problem with going on the same ship more than once is that the shows are all the same. Swapping ships would provide different shows. After sailing Adventure 3 years in a row, and seeing the same shows three years in a row, we decided to sail Independence. Guess what shows got moved to the Indy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted June 5, 2011 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2011 To give people a change in ships. Switching two ships in the same class often times provides no change other than a name and some decorations. Oh yeah, the people who had Serenade and its shower doors will get Brilliance and its shower curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Ross Posted June 5, 2011 #13 Share Posted June 5, 2011 ... the rumor is that serenade will be going to cape liberty in december 2012 doing a 9 to 12 nights caribbean cruises Geographically incorrect! The rumour is that Serenade is going to Dubai in Dec 12 to take over the route from Brilliance. $10 on who is correct?!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipfriend_max Posted June 9, 2011 #17 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Maybe Voyager will do the Dubai itineraries because in the 2012 season she will switch to Asia, according to Cruise News Daily. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly the same time when RCI sends a ship to Dubai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
