springaussie Posted August 26, 2017 #4476 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I just read that a roumor for a return of voyager of the seas in Europe for summer 2019 , anyone can confirm that ? Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Forums It is possible. Royal will have too many ships in the area when Spectrum starts in Asia.

travelgoddess1 Posted August 26, 2017 #4477 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I would vote for a ship for CA! I have to fly to every cruise....so why not CA????:D Exactly! And our weather in the Los Angeles basin is fairly good year round. San Diego's is even better. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another Global Voyage a la Mariner!!!?;) PS I would love there to be a Californian based ship too but just for the fact that I have never been to the West Coast of USA and that would be my excuse to go!!!

Ashland Posted August 31, 2017 #4483 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Another vote for an RCI ship back to my west coast...Everyone everywhere else has one, certainly RCI could afford to give us one back again...They just might be surprised at how well it would sell.

I got a survey from them last week about what I'd like to see in cruising. I may have slightly exaggerated my interest in western Mexican ports. A girl can dream!

RCI is stating drydock scheduling issues and will be canceling the TA for sure, and possible other legs. Drydock plans may be to ambitious or possible issues with available facilities.

Ms Jo UK Posted August 31, 2017 #4487 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Anyone have a clue if Independence will be doing the transatlantic crossing in October 2019 (western)? We wanted to do it in 2018 but already had a different cruise booked Royal put out their cruises so much later than other lines and when booking in the UK deposits have never been refundable.

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted August 31, 2017 #4488 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Mariner trip looks to be cancelled. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app I had heard that John...that is terrible for those who had booked. I have heard a lot of people doing all 3 legs or taking Navigator over from US and taking Mariner back. I wonder if it is going to take longer to change the ship back from an Asian based ship? It will be interesting to see what happens with the subsquent sailing people have already booked too.

wl2cruise Posted August 31, 2017 #4489 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Thank you! I've been biting my tongue to keep from repeating myself ad nauseum. :D No RCI ship for almost 7 years, other than the occasional repositioning sail by.:( All because they will not retrofit a ship for shore power.

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted August 31, 2017 #4490 Share Posted August 31, 2017 For those caught up in the Mariner news, I just checked the UK booking site and it is showing the following 22 March 7 night Spice of Southeast Asia from Singapore then nothing showing until 22 April 15 night Arabian Sea & Suez Canal from Dubai then nothing showing until 25 June 4 night Bahamas from Miami so it looks like it is impacting quite a lot of sailings.

travelgoddess1 Posted August 31, 2017 #4491 Share Posted August 31, 2017 All because they will not retrofit a ship for shore power. While that may be one reason, there are RCI ships that do meet that requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wl2cruise Posted August 31, 2017 #4492 Share Posted August 31, 2017 While that may be one reason, there are RCI ships that do meet that requirement. Which ones? Last time i heard they refused to retrofit them because it was too costly. 10 times cheaper to install on a new build than to retrofit a ship already service.

BillB48 Posted August 31, 2017 #4495 Share Posted August 31, 2017 All because they will not retrofit a ship for shore power. That is a big part of it, but as always it gets more complicated. The problem lies when a ship in the company's fleet visits CA more than 5 times a year, then every ship in the fleet that calls in CA has to be equipped to go on shore power. That would preclude any other of Royal's ships to make an occasional call at a CA port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
