Biker19 Posted June 9, 2017 #101 Share Posted June 9, 2017 BTW: I booked another Rhapsody cruise date for 2019. Wonder if we will be able to keep it? :o You are probably safe, though a ship is likely to leave the fleet in 2019 with the arrival of Passion.

Rare island lady Posted June 9, 2017 #102 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) You are probably safe, though a ship is likely to leave the fleet in 2019 with the arrival of Passion. OOOOooooo Passion? Had not heard that name yet! Sounds romantic!! :D:hearteyes: Though I think the name "Pulse of the Seas" is a little odd. So we will also call them POS!!? :eek: ;) Eh, not worried if they cancel my cruise with Rhapsody. I am congenial with hopping onto another ship for replacement cruise, but will dearly miss yet another favorite Vision class ship that would be leaving the fleet. :( Edited June 9, 2017 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuffMUp Posted June 9, 2017 #103 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'm not sure why so many bad posts on Majesty. After I booked I was half afraid to go based on comments but found her in very good shape. Yes, she is small but I kind of like small. I can never imagine going on an Oasis class ship. I like to see the sea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted June 9, 2017 #104 Share Posted June 9, 2017 . I can never imagine going on an Oasis class ship. I like to see the sea! They have those so called Ocean View balconies on that ship -I wonder what you can see from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see the sea! Having never experienced MJ (though had been on departed sister ship Monarch many times) we cruised with her this month for the first time just to do it at least once. Yes, small (we knew that and also like small) but her crew was great and we had a good time. Go on her again? Probably not. IMHO too many venues missing that we have become accustomed to, plus now we find the 3/4 night cruises are just too short. Did not think we would like Oasis again (since we found her a bit too big for our tastes the first time) but since she is now our local ship...we cruised with her again early this year. Really had a good time, and have now booked another cruise with her for next year. No way you can really judge a ship unless you experience it first hand. Radiance and Vision class still our favorites. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted June 10, 2017 #106 Share Posted June 10, 2017 They have those so called Ocean View balconies on that ship -I wonder what you can see from there? LOL!! That was my first thought. ;) Those bump out JS cabins have a nice big balcony with lots of sea to see!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznation Posted October 25, 2017 #107 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You are probably safe, though a ship is likely to leave the fleet in 2019 with the arrival of Passion. Why does a ship have to leave the fleet when a new one is launched? Is there a shortage of officers and crew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 25, 2017 #108 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Why does a ship have to leave the fleet when a new one is launched? Is there a shortage of officers and crew? Doesn't have to leave. For years RC had 22 ships in the fleet, now they have 24. I suspect their bean counters have to look at the big picture and whether there are itineraries for the smaller ships where they can still make enough money to make it worthwhile to keep them.

Some of the home ports, like Baltimore, will only accommodate a smaller ship. Baltimore is so convenient. :) There's only 4 Vision class ships left and with two more going on the block choices are dwindling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the best of worlds, I would love to see them sell MJ instead...and keep Rhapsody to do the 3/4 here in PC. Already down 2 of the 6 sweet sisters...sad to see them go. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north29 Posted October 25, 2017 #115 Share Posted October 25, 2017 With only mega ships on the menu, I hope not, as we really dislike the BIG ships. But when the cost of maintenance/old deco/cabins(not meeting expectation of cruisers on the ship gets potentially tooo high most likely she will have to go.

Yeah...Island Lady's perfect world PC home port ships: Oasis the same. Vision class back again for 3/4 night, replacing MJ. Voyager class (or even more perfect...Radiance class!) for 10/11 night cruises. Sigh...wish I had that magic wand. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply going from historical trends both in terms of the size of the fleet, age of ships and overall market trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
