Ripley's Lady Posted February 3, 2015 #3801 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Tickets are now on sale for a Country Music Charter 13 - 21 November 2016 Legend of the Seas South Pacific from here in Brisbane. Australia.So Legend in Brisbane must be the first confirmed deployment for the 16/17 season. Rhapsody has done these charters last few year. 2015 Radiance of the Seas. So it appears Radiance leaving Oz in 2016 must be true. Spring Aussie: You must be a country music fan OR you sleep with your laptop under your pillow.

springaussie Posted February 3, 2015 #3802 Share Posted February 3, 2015 But Legend is already headinf to Down Under in late 2016...You mentioned some time ago, that Vision is due to replace Radiance on the Australia/NZ itineraries... that would make sense. Than, if that's going to happen, those following ships might sail Australia/NZ: Max I was surprised to see Legend of the Seas from Brisbane got the music charter over a ship from Sydney. With Vision coming to Oz I was passing on info from others had heard on Radiance last month. If Vision was coming to Australia my guess is she will leave the USA on a similar timeframe to Legend late April and be based in Sydney year round. But I cannot find any port timetable to support this movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodscruise Posted February 4, 2015 #3803 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Geoff and Springaussie, It will be interesting at the end of February when Adam Goldstein are here in Australia for the cruise3sixty if he makes any announcements for future ship placements in Australia.

I will be surprised if he doesn't talk about further commitment to the region and also make a deployment announcement to Wow the travel agents.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Could be a confirmation of springaussie's theory that Quantum will make a visit to Oz. That would certainly Wow everyone.

And I do not think she will do Asia in summer/fall 2016, prior to Australia. My guess would be: Alaska from Seattle between May and Sep 2016, than Hawaii and Pacific and than Australia.

Mousy Posted February 4, 2015 #3810 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Any chance Explorer will be back to this itinerary; Port Canaveral, Florida; Willemstad, Curacao; Kralendijk, Bonaire; Oranjestad, Aruba; Labadee, Haiti; Port Canaveral, Florida That is the one we want to do in February 2017 for our 25th anniversary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugtech Posted February 4, 2015 #3813 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Anyone know when the fall 2016 Asia schedules will be available? Seems like the 2015 have been available for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare printingchick Posted February 4, 2015 #3820 Share Posted February 4, 2015 My unofficial response is....YES!!! Here's hoping for EARLY March!! Someone earlier suggested March 1. I'd be very happy with that, so long at the deployment announcement didn't list Caribbean itineraries releasing sometime in July!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be better, but could be worse as well... :rolleyes: Let's hope that the deployment schedule will be released soon, so that we get an overview - when do they release which itineraries? Speculation goes on... IF Vision otS, however, will not sail Alaska in 2016, and both Jewel and Radiance sail Alaska, which ship sails from Harwich than?? Because Brilliance is most likely due to switch to Meditarrenean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare westcoasttech Posted February 4, 2015 #3825 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's funny that their "sister" company Celebrity has some ultra-exotics (Galapagos) cruises open for booking through to December 2017, even their "ordinary" caribbean routes are open through all of 2016. Really RCCL, what's the big secret?? Just provide a little information, already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
