bigeck Posted February 5, 2014 #326 Share Posted February 5, 2014 BRILLIANCE seems to sail from Harwich. ;) I meant to type Harwich. A senior moment Depends where they move Adventure to. I know last year Indy and Adventure cruises did generate a lot of money for Rci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff2802 Posted February 6, 2014 #327 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So the ships that are becoming available that are candidates to replace Rhapsody in Australia are Explorer, Adventurer and Jewel unless one of the Freedom ships is a possibility. The later departure times shown on the Sydney ports schedule for late 2015 under the Rhapsody placeholder suggests a larger ship - making Jewel less likely :( . Of these two Voyager class ships, a Flowrider is committed to be fitted to Explorer, but not Adventurer as far as I am aware. They could easily add that though. Flowrider is a no brainer draw card for the Aussie market and VoyagerOTS is getting one. Thoughts? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipfriend_max Posted February 6, 2014 #329 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Those Azamara itineraries look amazing! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app I personally think that RHAPSODY will do similar Black Sea cruises from Istanbul as CELEBRITY CONSTELLATION does - regarding the 14th of October 2014. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackaboo Posted February 6, 2014 #330 Share Posted February 6, 2014 BRILLIANCE seems to sail from Harwich. ;)ANTHEM is expected to be deliverd in April, so I think there is no ship needed which "fills gaps". it seems to be 100 % sure that ADVENTURE sails out of Southampton in 2015? Because ANTHEM could replace INDEPENDENCE and LIBERTY could replace ADVENTURE...:D but I do not think that this gonna happen... Either LIBERTY will operate on new Med itineraries or she will leave Europe, if the first possibility will not happen... we will see. Yes, Adventue and Anthem are 100% based out of Southampton in Summer 2015. Brilliance will be out of Harwich Indy will be heading back to the U S of A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted February 6, 2014 #331 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Time for RCL to put out all the 2015 cruises. I am tired of waiting. Thinking of jumping to other lines as H,N,C, or Car. Have 3 booked for 2014 and itching to book more cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a UK press link somewhere in this thread (or the other about Allure?) Rhapsody is going to do 3 sailings of 10 and 11 nights from Istanbul to the Black Sea. And also some 7 to 11 night sailings from Rome to Greece and Turkey. Now these are the ones I'm waiting for!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkx Posted February 6, 2014 #333 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Report anything you find. The more info the better.Wonder where Liberty is going Given Royal signed an agreement to have XXX number of passengers using Port Everglades with the port authority (for the 2 Oasis Class) it would make sense they replace at least some of the capacity there with a Freedom Class for the summer - so Liberty could go there (given she'll be there anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted February 6, 2014 #334 Share Posted February 6, 2014 In the German press release about ALLURE in Europe I read, that all other med cruises are also open for booking the 18th of Feb, 2015. Let's hope that Northern Europe, as well as Alaska, is also opened than!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2c Posted February 6, 2014 #335 Share Posted February 6, 2014 i hope the futur black see cruise of rhapsody will look like azamara cruise like this one 12 days Wed 20/08/14 Istanbul / Turkey 17:00 Thu 21/08/14 Amasra* / Turkey 09:00 21:00 Fri 22/08/14 At Sea Sat 23/08/14 Trabzon / Turkey 07:00 18:00 Sun 24/08/14 Batumi / Georgia 07:00 18:00 Mon 25/08/14 Sotschi / Russia 07:00 20:00 Tue 26/08/14 Novorossiysk / Ukraine 07:00 17:00 Wed 27/08/14 Jalta / Ukraine 08:00 22:00 Thu 28/08/14 Sewastopol / Ukraine 08:00 17:00 Fri 29/08/14 Odessa / Ukraine 07:00 23:00 Sat 30/08/14 Constanza / Romania 13:00 20:00 Sun 31/08/14 Nessebar / Bulgaria 08:00 16:00 Mon 01/09/14 Istanbul / Turkey 06:00 or this one 10 days Thu 06/08/15 Istanbul / Turkey 18:00 Fri 07/08/15 At Sea Sat 08/08/15 Batumi / Georgia 07:00 18:00 Sun 09/08/15 Sotschi / Russia 07:00 20:00 Mon 10/08/15 Novorossiysk / Ukraine 07:00 17:00 Tue 11/08/15 Jalta / Ukraine 08:00 23:30 Wed 12/08/15 Sewastopol / Ukraine 08:30 17:00 Thu 13/08/15 Odessa / Ukraine 07:00 23:00 Fri 14/08/15 Constanza / Romania 13:00 20:00 Sat 15/08/15 Nessebar* / Bulgaria 08:00 16:00 Sun 16/08/15 Istanbul / Turkey 06:00 :) We are already booked on the 10 day cruise next year. If the Rhapsody itinerary is like this one (I am not a fan of Celebrity's schedule), we would seriously think of switching. Not only is Rhapsody one of our favorite ships the cabins are also larger. As an aside, the money here in Texas is that the Indy will sail out of Galveston year round starting next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing, a couple of interesting things in this. They are doing rolling sailings rather than dedicated sailings. Has Royal Caribbean ever done this before? Only other one I know of is the eastbound transatlantic for Oasis which has 2 embarkation points. The Oasis is the best ship for it since there are not dedicated shows, everything is booked. Wonder how they will handle the welcome aboard and farewell shows as well as the Captain's Welcome Reception. Those are rather firmly scheduled based on the day of the sailing. It also shows the dates for the east and west bound transatlantic sailings with no room for a dry dock. Wonder when they will choose to do that since she will be 5 years old that fall and Oasis is getting hers at the 5 year mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEIx15x8 Posted February 6, 2014 #342 Share Posted February 6, 2014 They don't have welcome aboard or farewell shows on Oasis/Allure.... Thanks for the reply. That's probably an improvement. When we were on Oasis they did them and it was terrible. It was done in Studio B and broadcast throughout the ship. The timing though made it impossible for nearly everyone with a show booked those nights to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
