Deployment 2018-19 booking season begins

[3dogmom]

So let's really hope others will follow soon, usually the Europe-based ships were among the first.

Maybe tomorrow, or Monday.

 

 

UGH...leaving on NCL tomorrow. That's what I get for straying....:eek:

Question: Do they usually send out a preview of sailings before they actually open them for booking or do you just have to wait till they open them? Is there any way to see what the schedule would be before hand? Just wanted to get an idea so that when I call it's just a matter of saying "this date, this ship, this cabin".

 

I'm guessing Liberty will still be here for another year right? Has anyone heard confirmation of the rumors that Oasis may be coming to Galveston?

There's no "usual" with Royal. Sometimes we get a PDF with a summary of the deployments, sometimes we find out here first.

Both Indi and navigator booked into Gibraltar from May to October 2018 so it,s looking the same as 2016 to 2018 both cruising from Southampton again but both very popular with british cruiser,s

 

 

Jewel also for May indicating a TA to Civitavecchia

The Liberty itineraries are all posted on cruisecal - it's staying in Galveston thru 2019 it seems.

Libertys scheduled up until April 2019 is showing on cruise cal. She is in Galveston so I would treat the rumours of Oasos going there as rumours as I can't see both Liberty and Oasis out of Galveston.

 

No preview of itineraries on Royal's site.

Which means we will likely be on the Jewel for our 2018 Mediterranean cruise. Even though we've sailed her before, I am okay with that. Very nice ship!

Brilliance is listed 4 times in 2018 for Dublin. I am anxiously waiting to see if it is a British Isles cruise. We may cancel our NCL Med cruise as that was our number 1 choice for our next trip.

[CRUISEBOY305]

Majesty and Enchantment coming up on Cruisecal though 2019 out of PC and Miami

Brilliance is booked in Amsterdam every 12 days throughout the summer season. She will be homeporting there if nothing changes.

There goes my pipe dream of Jewel doing an Alaska season in 2018, and Panama Canal cruises to get there and back.:(

Radiance and Explorer were already set to do Alaska. A Panama Canal (at least once) would have been nice.

Correct. Someone speculated earlier in this thread about Jewel replacing one of the ships to Alaska, as they did in 2015.

Excellent news. We have a British Isles cruise scheduled for May this year which I need to cancel. Years ago we did a British Isles/Norway cruise and have been looking to take another British Isles cruise ever since.

Thank you both.

 

Oh well, it was fun dreaming while it lasted. Guess I'll finalize my cabin pick on Liberty. :D

Just to throw in our part of the world into the conversation -

 

Voyager booked in Sydney 1 Oct 2018

Radiance booked in Sydney 6 Oct 2018

Explorer booked in Sydney 17 October

 

All coming down from the Alaska runs

 

Ovation is due once again in December - she did well for the few cruises she had this season.

Valerie, are you saying that Voyager is doing an Alaska season in 2018? :confused:

It appears that she will be replacing Vision.

[Billy Baltic]

I would rather they save Indy from the floating magaluf run that is Southampton to the Med. A ship like Indy would be better used doing 10 - 14 day cruises around the Eastern Med from Rome.

I would love her to take Vision/Brilliance's place in Barcelona with the 12 night itineraries.

 

 

I'd book that in the morning.
