Elizanessie Posted February 24, 2015 #601 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Still leaves what they are doing with Harmony up in the air quite possibly due to regulations about importation of plants. That is what I meant..."regulations about importation of plants." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted February 24, 2015 #602 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I like the idea of Harmony at Port Canaveral.:) Me too [emoji2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendaflamingo Posted February 24, 2015 #603 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I like the idea of Harmony at Port Canaveral.:) they go out of Port Canaveral and the Freedom comes to Los Angeles. You two are the Crusin Gurus. Such a wealth of knowledge and seem to be very accurate. Do you right your own blog or website?

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted February 24, 2015 #604 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I perosnally see Ovation either sailing from Southampton (but increasingly unlikely, since Independence otS is listed in many European ports for 2016), or, pretty more likely, the 7 night runs from Ft. Lauderdale, on which Independence is operating in 2015. So IMHO the following scenario could occur: -Harmony: April -Oct --> Med from Barcelona; after that TA and Caribbean from FL or PC -Allure: Caribbean from FL (Sunday dep.) -Oasis: Caribbean from PC? Switching to Asia in fall, when Harmony is coming to Florida?? -Ovation: Caribbean from FL (Saturday dep., replace Oasis) I agree, it is seeming more and more likely that Ovation will be going straight to Florida. Possibly taking over the Saturday 7 night sailings from FLL through the summer, and then maybe moving to the 6/8 night schedule in the fall.

[emoji5]️ So I guess that would mean... Ovation year round in PE Anthem year round in NJ Allure year round from PE Harmony splitting her time between Barcelona and PE or PC? Where will Oasis go? Not sure so about Asia anymore, because if Harmony is going to be doing the Med cruises, what ship is replacing Freedom summer 2016? Oasis? You think Oasis will stay there year round? And Harmony from PE seasonally? I would venture to say that one Oasis Class ship will definitely be in PC year round, one in PE year round, one in PE seasonally, and when Oasis 4 comes out, one in Asia/Oz. (Btw, this goes along with my previous research that in winter 2017, three Oasis class ship will be sailing from Florida...per the St. Maarten port schedule.)

Oasis might switch to Asia in early 2017, maybe... Or Oasis in Singapore is just a placeholder for Harmony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok sorry... :D you are right... ;) I also would have doubted that RCI is planning to deploy any newer ships in Asia, but the fact that Oasis is listed for Singapore makes me thinking...

LXA350 Posted February 24, 2015 #610 Share Posted February 24, 2015 When will the itinaries for 2016 in Asia be announced, with "Future Deployment" no fixed date was put in place.

And I guess we can assume that Navigator will be in Europe first and then transfer to Asia/Oz. And then that brings up the Europe question... It seems that possibly Indy and Nav from Southampton. No Adventure? I've seen port bookings for her, but not sure? And I mentioned the other day that I traced bRilliance through the British Isles.. Not sure how accurate the port schedules I was working off of are though. But if Brilliance is in Northern Europe, which ship is doing the 12 night Barcelona runs?! So many questions!!!

Yeah, most questions to me are the 12 night runs from Barcelona and Harwich. The cruise calls at Dublin, planned for Brilliance I have also seen... And Copenhagen cruise list was updated in February, and still listing Brilliance. Navi? Of course Europe in 2016, from Southampton, similar to Explorer in 2015, IMHO... ;) Adventure also is questionable: Could she sail from Harwich???

Not sure how reliable this Le Havre schedule is...??? https://www.havre-port.com/liste/2077/escales-croisieres Seems accurate when looking at the 2015 dates, but is showing calls by Adv, Nav, Indy, and Anthem, which IMO is too many ships sailing in Northern Europe and must not be correct. But if it is somewhat accurate, it appears Brilliance will be sailing from Harwich to Le Havre, Liverpool, Portland, etc. Possibly some interesting itineraries...

Le Havre schedule should be reliable, since she was also updated early February and showing up Navi and Indy now. Sure, calls for Anthem and Adventure have not been removed yet... Hmm :confused: No I meant Adventure doing Harwich runs, and Brilliance Barcelona? But to be honest I cannot imagine which other ship than Brilliance should sail from Harwich? Is ih also possible that RCI plans to drop down these sailings?? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted February 24, 2015 #623 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Can you tell me for which dates?And is she also booked for other Norwegian ports in 2016, such as Bergen, for example? Than maybe Brilliance in fact will do British Isles instead of Norway. And: any other RCI ships listed for Norway in 2016?? [emoji5]️ http://www.stranda-hamnevesen.no/GeirangerfjordenCPGD2016 It seems only Serenade booked at Geirangerfjord for 2016 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted February 24, 2015 #624 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Adventure shows calls at Flam in 2016. The port calendar confuses things by showing 2015 instead of 2016 for dates in the 2016 calendar, but many of the ships are new for that season that appear on the list along with Adventure. http://aurlandhavn.no/cruise/skipsanlop-2016/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great for me. :) Just a thought, but from what I've read, the seem pretty popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
