Ken at the beach Posted March 31, 2014 #1476 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I wonder if any of this juggling act is to allow for a voyager class ship to do the summer Bermuda runs from NJ in the event that they can't get it widened enough or in time for the Quantum.

mconthehighseas Posted March 31, 2014 #1477 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I was under the impression that Navigator was going to San Juan. Interesting. San Juan has 2 ships in the winter. It looks like Adventure will stay and Jewel will leave, and Navigator will move from Galveston. http://www.caribbeanbusiness.pr/prnt_ed/tourism-set-for-modest-growth-this-year-9467.html "In May 2015, Royal Caribbean is scheduled to replace the Jewel of the Seas—which currently carries out weekly trips, with San Juan as its homeport—with a bigger ship, the Navigator of the Seas." Still hoping Liberty or Independence will move to Galveston, since Freedom is staying in Port Canaveral.

MADflyer Posted March 31, 2014 #1478 Share Posted March 31, 2014 San Juan has 2 ships in the winter. It looks like Adventure will stay and Jewel will leave, and Navigator will move from Galveston.[. Jewel returns to San Juan in October 2015 following the Alaska season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEBOY305 Posted March 31, 2014 #1479 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) as far as we know. Liberty is still going to Galveston, Navigator is still going to San Juan and Adventure is still going to Cape Canaveral. We already knew Explore was going to Europe / Asia Edited March 31, 2014 by CRUISEBOY305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeck Posted March 31, 2014 #1482 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I don't think everything in this article is true unless Navigator will goto PC Navigator might stay in Galveston and Liberty might go to New Orleans.

Case1096 Posted March 31, 2014 #1483 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Navigator might stay in Galveston and Liberty might go to New Orleans. They are making there port bigger for a bigger Carnival ship New Orleans does not sell as well as Galveston. The larger ship is more likely to go to Galveston vs. New Orleans.

I don't think RC will be return to NOLA unless they move Brilliance there, since Tampa will likely get Vision again. I can't imagine Tampa needing 2 ships.

I can't imagine Tampa needing 2 ships. Agree, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped NOLA. It was just like the West Coast, people jump up and down for a ship and then when they have a ship they don't buy resulting in deep discounting.

springaussie Posted March 31, 2014 #1491 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The Ports schedule for some ports are having us believe Explorer is off to Asia and Australia in October 2015. BUT When Voyager and Mariner were deployed to Asia both ships were modified to suit the Asian region in retailing, bars etc. I find it is strange that Royal would be sending Explorer to the Asian region in 2016 which will make 2 of the 3 Voyager upgrades in Asia in 2016. The Asian region is like the Bermuda Triangle for Royal Ships from May - September with a rare few not being charters. Surely Royal would want to keep one more of these ships in the USA market. Option 1 Explorer does Alaska 2016 after Australia summer season 15/16. Option 2 Liberty of the Seas is sent to Asia/ Australia May 2015 instead of Explorer. Independence takes over at Galveston November 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtam2 Posted March 31, 2014 #1493 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Mariner CD Gordon Watman stated several times (including at a CC meet and mingle) that the Explorer will be joining Mariner in Asia in the near future.

He did not mention if that also included Australia I'd put almost no faith in the word of a CD. Crew reports are almost never correct as it seems from cruisecritic. Even captains give mistaken information about ship deployments. It could be that the plan was to deploy Explorer to Asia at some point, but all of that could have changed. It could be Adventure or another ship. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted March 31, 2014 #1495 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Jewel returns to San Juan after Alaska, West Coast and Panama. She already offers a Panama cruise from Los Angeles to San Juan in October. IMHO Adventure sails year-round from San Juan and Navigator will go somewhere else. IMHO those options are possible: a) Staying in Galveston b) Moving to New Orleans c) New Europe deployment?? d) Port Canaveral Asia and Down Under are pretty unlikely for her, I think, as already Mariner and Voyager sail there and Legend will be the third ship for Asia/Australia. And during the winter period, also Radiance should be deployed in Australia.

PSU Posted March 31, 2014 #1497 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Royal Caribbean announced today that Explorer will be based in Southampton in 2015 and Adventure will move to Puerto Rico.

Rare printingchick Posted April 1, 2014 #1500 Share Posted April 1, 2014 So the theory is that San Juan will continue to offer cruises on Jewel and Adventure, but that Adventure will become the year-round ship while Jewel will only winter out of San Juan? Where will she go during the summer - Alaska? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
