Deployment Schedule 2016-2017. Let the guessing begin

[Clarea]

With that itinerary and the soon to come Navigator ABC and Labadee itineraries from Miami, RCI are certainly enhancing their current southern Caribbean presence.

Happy to see Adventure going back to the ABC islands.:)

The Sun Sentinel sees RCI announcing that a 3rd ship will call Miami home for RCI in 2016 with Ovation of the Seas home-ported at Port of Miami.

 

They think the announcement could come at the Cruise Shipping Trade Conference on March 16-19th.

 

Interesting article. On the one hand given that some of the competion is bringing new ships to Miami one would say its possible. And given what happened last year with Quantum, anything is possible. Either way, were ever she ends up could be a good surprise for some.

Correct. Carnival is sending Vista and NCL is sending Escape to Miami. Read somewhere that MSC will also send one of their newest to Miami.

Nothing confirmed, but Jewel, Adventure, Navigator and Serenade should have sailings to ABC in winter 2016-17.

Thanks. They will start building a second mega pier shortly.

Can you see pricing for the April and August 2016 transatlantic to and from Copenhagen?

It looks like they are holding to releasing only the Caribbean and Canada sailings for tomorrow.

 

TA sailings were not due out yet, even though they were confirmed today. That could change though, but I did not expect them today.

[Kokomo91165]

Everything through 10/30 is up on RCL cruising power. Call RCL and you can reserve!! Prices are very high for suites. Makes me think new suite amenities are going in effect.

Anthem 9nt 6/16/16 & 8/11/16 prices for D1 are cheaper than past similar Voyages on the EXOS & Liberty of this year !!!!!

Prices must be coming and going. I'm not seeing anything but NA on Anthem sailings right now. They did this last year, too. You'd think they would invest a few pennies in releasing the itineraries once and for all.:rolleyes:

We called RCL and the dates for the Anthem are open up until The end of October 2016.

So because February 2017 is not cruising power does that mean that those dates will not be out today or am I wrong? I wanted to go out today but if there is a chance it is coming I will stay home.

Watch 48 - 50 mins as the captain explains why he could not take Quantum of the Seas into Miami.

I think if Ovation would come to Caribbean, RCI would have stated it in press release, published last week.

They announced the deployment for new Harmony as well, so why not Ovation as well?

I see her sailins somewhere else, to be honest... [emoji5]

 

And in the video springaussie posted some moments ago, Miami is not possible for Quantum Class, since it is not deep enough...

And according to the video, also Ft. Lauderdale would not take the ship, since some CVC certifications...

Interesting, never would have guessed that Miami is not deep enough.

[Cauzneffct]

Not a fan of the switch from 7 nights to 5 nights for Grandeur to Bermuda.

I get RCI not wanting to compete with Celebrity out of Bayonne on the 7 night Bermuda runs, but I think it's just odd that they aren't offering them at all? Made sense to have then out of Baltimore.
