MADflyer Posted April 9, 2014 #2001 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I was got off Liberty on Monday. According to the Hotel Manager and our Head Waiter, after the 2014-2015 winter season at FLL, they are going to Galveston for the 2015 summer season. The fun thing about all this is that we had a confirmation on CC that Explorer was going to Australia, the same day someone was dining with 'officers' onboard the Explorer and they had just found out about their refit in Cadiz and deployment to Europe. They had no clue about Sydney! (at least publicly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whycruisewhynot Posted April 9, 2014 #2003 Share Posted April 9, 2014 ..apart from the official email announcing it goes on sale tomorrow that is....!! DUBAI Splendour of the Seas 7 NIGHTS 14, 21, 28 Dec 2015; 4, 11, 18, 25 Jan 2016; 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 Feb 2016; 7, 14, 21, 28 Mar 2016. Ports of Call: Khasab, Oman; Muscat, Oman; Abu Dhabi, UAE; Dubai, UAE Thank you so much for these dates, unfortunately Monday departures, don't won't as well with our school break schedules. Any idea of pricing? We are looking specifically at Dec 28 or March 14. Can you see the stops for the repositioning cruise from Venice (Nov 28, 2015), or where the ship goes on April 4, 2016?

CRUISEBOY305 Posted April 9, 2014 #2004 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Based on the price for that Majesty 4/29/16 cruise, I'd say there's no way it's the final sailing ever. Oh well. I agree too. But I'm booking it anyway just in case. Oasis 3 and quantum 3 are due out shortly after so I'm sure there will be some shuffling around ( possible retirement) I'll be on majesty this Friday. Hopefully my favorite (and reliable) LA will be on board. I'll get the scope from her on what she thinks.

CRUISEBOY305 Posted April 9, 2014 #2005 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Oasis has lots of possibilities. Just thinking with 2 new ships being introduced in May/June 2016, that they might do like they did with Anthem and leave them in Europe for their first season. They could do like explorer and take a ship to Europe Summer 2016 and then on to Asia in Fall 2016. A ship from Asia/Australia could also end up getting to the west coast as many have been dreaming about. They seem to be putting ships on rotation. But we have even future deployments listed for China and Singapore on the horizon that follow the Hawaii/Australia sailings on the 29th of April. Hong Kong has a new terminal now that can accommodate mega ships. It wouldn't surprise me at all if oasis 3 (or even the oasis) end up there Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case1096 Posted April 9, 2014 #2008 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Vision and Brilliance to both be based in Tampa, I would not have called that one! The Vision will do long cruises while the Brilliance will focus on the shorter sailings. So after November we are left with the possible unknowns of: The Anthem, The Legend, The Liberty, The Mariner, The Navigator, and the Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joandian Posted April 9, 2014 #2011 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So any guesses when the Explorer relocation to Australia will be announced? April 29 with the Aussie/NZ sailings? We leave on the Serenade TA on the 25th so will have to haunt the cruise sales team for updates. It would be great to be able to book onboard.

It would leave Southampton on October 2, 2015. Only port where clue currently is Gibraltar on Oct. 6th. That would indicate only a Vigo/Lisbon/Cadiz call possible on way.

Guest012 Posted April 10, 2014 #2018 Share Posted April 10, 2014 We weren't going to consider the Explorer of the Seas as we have already cruised on the Mariner and Voyager, fancied something different, however as we will be in Edinburgh around the time she is due to head from London to Sydney we are now seriously considering this as the ideal way to get home.... I too have been hunting down port schedules but this time it's not as easy... hurry up and release the details please Mr. Royal Caribbean .... cheers Shiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin-K Posted April 10, 2014 #2022 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I just changed our 2015 reservations to the 2016 dates just in case someone changes the prices when they decide it's the last cruise. I did the same :) Royal seems to be adding some great itineraries for 2015/2016. Someday I'll be able to afford to sail from Sydney to Singapore to Dubai to Istanbul, and Around the Horn. Someday :o :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
