Bruin Steve Posted January 30, 2013 #76 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Adrian, I fully agree. They do have an 'extra' ship because the Insignia is returning. Which places exactly do you have in mind? O would have to advertise that it is a more adventurous route and that 'ashore' is not a five star hotel environment. Unforseen things might happen. Be prepared! Celebrity's "expedition" ship cruises the Galapagos... But Insignia could not go there... The Ecuadorian government will not license a ship to anchor there if it holds more than 99 passengers...Celebrity's Expedition carries 96, IIRC...

Floridiana Posted January 30, 2013 #77 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Celebrity's "expedition" ship cruises the Galapagos...But Insignia could not go there... I know. We are booked on it next year. There are plenty of other interesting places in the world, but not many have the infrastructure for spoilt cruise ship passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted January 30, 2013 #78 Share Posted January 30, 2013 We would like to be on the maiden voyage of the renewed insignia We are hoping for a unique itinerary but fear it will be standard stuff We just won't do Barcelona to Rome or Greece again. Too many other places to see I would love to sail out of lax to somewhere I haven't been -- maybe Central America We find we struggle to find itineraries we like with every booking Not complaining because we have been fortunate to see a lot of the world I would love to see a china cruise with multiple overnights in key ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted January 30, 2013 #79 Share Posted January 30, 2013 We would like to be on the maiden voyage of the renewed insignia I suppose that a woman believing that there could be such a thing as a "renewed Maiden" (touched for the very first time, possibly??), is very like a man understanding that on some Maps, three inches are the equivalent of more than a mile....:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted January 30, 2013 #80 Share Posted January 30, 2013 JimandStan, you are a hoot. Now, re itineraries, I wish O would go back to Antarctica. Since they stopped, we are having to do it on HAL this coming December. We enjoyed the Arctic so much on O last year. It was fabulous for those who might not have considered it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Don Yes, it's close but not perfect. I'd want a stop in Southern Portugal and Valencia. So I think FDR said no Morroco and more Spain for 2014 so I'm hoping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted February 2, 2013 #85 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi, Love all the talk re new ports to explore. I've been gone from Oceania for a few years since i discovered river boating in Europe. I'm returning in 2014 to do some ports I've missed in 42 years of traveling. Just wanted you adventuresome people to know about Azamara's cruise which begins and ends in Singapore and does three days in Burma in Dec. 2013.

Rare Cruise Junky Posted February 6, 2013 #91 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well FDR's understanding of no Morocco is extremely different to mine. Sadly Casablanca ends up on the itineraries we were interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, saw that one and liked the itinerary. August in southern Spain not so much ;) Given a choice we'd prefer to be on Marina or Riviera. Marina has a decent one in mid-September which would be a better date, but of coursr, it has Morocco. We're in no rush to book anything so we'll just wait until all lines have their itineraries out and then decide. I'm super tempted by the Istanbul to Dubai too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted February 6, 2013 #94 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I can understand completely your dislike of Casablanca (I'd make it a sea day and stay on the ship rather than return to that awful port), but I love Tangier. I could spend two days just roaming around in the Casbah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
