Rare John&LaLa Posted May 24, 2015 #2551 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The difference in Winter between Anthem cruising out of New York and Quantum out of China is Anthem cruisers go swimming in the warm Caribbean while the Quantum passengers goes nude in the hot springs in Japan while the snow is falling. American's don't need hot springs we have hot tubs. Ever been to Vail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff2802 Posted May 24, 2015 #2552 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Not sure about the Asian winter being such an issue; ships sail in and out of New York all year and that is pretty darn cold in winter. Also from what I know of the Asian market, possibly gambling cruises come into play. I guess we will just have to wait and see what is announced/released. And on a personal note I will hope there is a sailing from Perth! Indications are that there will be one sailing from Perth to the East coast with at least a stop in Melbourne. [emoji6] There is also the inbound Cruiseco charter from Singapore to Perth of course. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff surely they will sell the cruise in smaller sectors also Perth - Melbourne and Adelaide to Sydney also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they provide any specific information about the itineraries? Are there any new ports, for example in Tonga or Fiji? Anything new that might be of interest?

springaussie Posted May 26, 2015 #2564 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The unconfirmed word is Australia Cruises 16/17 with the exception of Ovation go on sale Thursday here. Unsure if that means Wednesday in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted May 27, 2015 #2568 Share Posted May 27, 2015 With Adventure, Explorer, Voyager, Legend and Ovation all heading to Aus/Nz in winter 2017, what happens to the Radiance? Does she head to Tampa to replace the Vision? South America to replace the Rhapsody? Return to NOLA? Keep her on the U.S. West Coast (as if!)? I'll be interested to see what RCCL does with her!

Radiance should be returning to Sydney following the Alaska season and is again scheduled to return to Vancouver in April of 2017 as well. While Seattle based Explorer will do longer transpacific sailings, Radiance will be available for segments from Vancouver to Hawaii and then on to Sydney and return via Hawaii as well in 2017.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted May 27, 2015 #2571 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I thought Brilliance was in Tampa She winters in TPA doing a 4/5/5 rotation. Vision was home ported there doing the 7 night runs, which RCCL seems to be discontinuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So RCCL will have 6 ships based in Australia for winter 2016/17? That seems to be quite a bit of capacity, maybe even too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm missing something, but I thought it was just the four ships (Voyager/Explorer/Radiance/Legend) sailing in the Australia region for the regular Aussie summer, plus Ovation making a few visits as part of a shortened AU season. Adventure is no where to be seen in the Australian heading of the 2016-2017 deployment document.

Suggest they also send a Freedom class and Oasis class and then we will have a full set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
