Deployment schedule: let the guessing begin!

[rclibertygirl5]

How far in advance of April 25th, if at all, do you think Anthem itineraries will be viewable in cruisinpower? I am just looking for the itineraries, not pricing.

What's the hold up loading Liberty from Bayonne onto the Royal site? C'mon Royal...

[CRUISEBOY305]

OK, so Navigator to FLL. Quantum to China. Anthem probably to Bayonne after Liberty goes to Galveston. Mariner+Explorer to Asia. Splendour to Dubai. Rhapsody to South America. Radiance to Oz + Hawaii TP (not officially announced). Brilliance+Vision in Tampa. Jewel Panama Canal/Alaska/San Juan.....

 

Legend anyone? (I know previously stated on this thread Legend appears on a couple of New Zealand port schedules... I don't buy it now with everything that has happened the past couple of days, but who knows!!) :eek:

 

 

Nothing on Legend yet, I'll bet she'll do a few panama canal's end up in Aus/NZ/Asia and come back via Panama Canal

I am specifically looking for the ship's itinerary for the week of February 13, 2016. This is President's week.

I know. Nothing on Navigator out of Ft. Lauderdale. Usually once the prices are up on CP, they'll come up on RC

I know that they will be available for booking starting April 25 but I am wondering if they will be viewable prior to that date??

I asked C&A that question about 15 mins ago and they did not know when Anthem will be available on-line.

If Anthem is doing a TA into Bayonne I would definitely consider it. I have nothing planned for fall of 2015 yet. :-)

Why shouldn't they move more ships to the Australasian areas? It's not Royal Caribbean International, not Royal Caribbean America... :mad:

 

It's Royal Caribbean International, not Royal Australasia International...

[shipfriend_max]

Still no information concerning Legend... :rolleyes:

 

I also believe that she could move to Australia/NZ, so there would be 4 ships in winter 2015/16:

Radiance; Explorer; Voyager; Legend - so one ship more as in 2014/15.

Maybe RCI plans to deploy a ship year-round in Australia?? Maybe Legend could be homeported in Sydney from May/June 2015... and Explorer in 2016 as well...

[Cruzin-K]

It's looking more and more like my birthday cruise in 2016 will be on Princess. I bet Liberty prices in Galveston will be sky high as well.

[rclibertygirl5]

Just got off the phone with my TA.....Liberty 9 night, 8/13/15....is $5,652 for 2 people in a standard balcony room. Are they crazy?? Who is going to pay those rates?? Not to mention that a 4 person Grand Suite was $13,612. That is more expensive than the Quantum....WOW RCI

Looks like NOLA is the one left without a chair after this game of musical redeployments, unless they surprise us by sending the Legend there.

I called too.....for March 2016 a grand suite is $3500 more than I paid for the same suite this last March....balconies were $2000 more than my grand suite this year.....I guess after 35 cruises on Royal I may be priced out!

[DKNYC]

Well it seems you can already book the Anthem 3 nt Royal Experience cruise before the TA. Oct 24 -27 2015.

Royal Caribbean to expand in Texas with larger ship

 

 

 

 

Cruise Log

Gene Sloan, USA TODAY 12:47 p.m. EDT April 17, 2014

 

 

AP Travel CyberMonday

 

Royal Caribbean is expanding again in Texas.

 

The line today announced plans to move the 3,634-passenger Liberty of the Seas to Galveston in late 2015 to take the place of the smaller, 3,114-passenger Navigator of the Seas.

 

As has been the case with Navigator, Liberty will be based in Galveston year-round and sail seven-night Western Caribbean cruises. It'll arrive in the city in November 2015 from New York, where it will spend the summer of 2015.

 

Navigator of the Seas, in turn, will move to Fort Lauderdale in November 2015 to offer six- and eight-night Caribbean sailings, Royal Caribbean revealed.

The line today also announced Brilliance of the Seas and Vision of the Seas will return to Tampa for the winter of 2015-16 to offer a variety of Caribbean itineraries.

Liberty rates are higher than I am paying for Quantum, but I booked anyway....if they don't come down, I better win the lottery and the cat will need to get a job....

[mommabean]

I'll say that even if I can afford the prices I won't book at these prices based on principle alone. There are too many little cutbacks in the past year. I'll wait for better prices (value) or land vacations are what are in our future.

 

Our cruises are locked in only until the end of this year. I see a different 2015 for us and feel just fine about it.

 

Cruising has suddenly become too expensive and complicated with the inability to sort out promotion combinability. Even their own employees are having a hard time sorting out the new pricing which has led to a lot booking confusion.

[PSU]

I can't believe the Liberty prices. The owners suite for 4 people is over $12,000 for a 5-night cruise. Who came up with these prices?

I can't believe anyone would pay those prices.

Where do you see these prices? I don't see any Liberty cruises past April, 2015.
