dub237 Posted September 22, 2018 #301 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Don't be so sure that pronouncements by some local official will actually happen. It will happend as soon the new route will be done for the cruise ship to go to the industrial port Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted September 22, 2018 #302 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'm hoping that they replace a Radiance class for the Vision. Vision has limited # of balconies and price per is out of this world. No indications of a change as of yet. French Riviera Ports are showing Vision.

steveru621 Posted September 22, 2018 #303 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Any views here on the likely response to the ban on ships over 55000 tons entering Venice port by 2021? https://www.thelocal.it/20171108/venice-to-ban-all-large-ships-from-st-marks--to-protect-historic-buildings I think Royal would pull out if forced to dock at Marghera. If so, would Royal increase capacity from Rome? Or home port a ship in Athens? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I think it's misguided, it's only 6 months of the year. But it's their city. It does fire the opening shot around the world in a war on mega cruise ships. More and more ports are likely to restrict the number of passengers visiting on any one day. In ten years how will RCI's strategy align with new restrictions? Will there be more cruises to nowhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswallow Posted September 22, 2018 #305 Share Posted September 22, 2018 In ten years how will RCI's strategy align with new restrictions? Will there be more cruises to nowhere? Many of the typical cruise ports should feel damn lucky anybody bothers to get off in their ports. I can' even imagine what could make me get off a cruise ship in Nassau anymore? Maybe a fire. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted September 23, 2018 #306 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I can' even imagine what could make me get off a cruise ship in Nassau anymore?. You won’t have worry too much- many itineraries next year use CocoCay instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted September 23, 2018 #307 Share Posted September 23, 2018 You won’t have worry too much- many itineraries next year use CocoCay instead. Yep, Nassau is pretty much relegated to the short cruises as well as a few stops by ships sailing from Bayonne and Baltimore. After May 2019 Allure is the only Oasis class ship that will stop at Nassau and even that ends in October 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted September 26, 2018 #312 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Many are reporting on social media that their Allure sailings for April 2020 have been cancelled due to Dry Dock. Looks like they might sail a non-revenue TA like Indy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff2802 Posted September 27, 2018 #313 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Last time I checked Quantum Plus 5 was expected to be commissoined in the fall of 2020. If this is still the timeframe, it's relevant to this deployment cycle. Would she likely be deployed to Bayonne, Alaska/Australia, China or elsewhere? Where will the ship she replaces be deployed?

lovesickmelodyx Posted September 27, 2018 #316 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I’m thinking of sailing Anthem or Allure summer 2020. Does anyone know what itineraries either one will likely follow? I just did a western med this summer on Symphony so don’t want to repeat the exact same ports again in 2020.

WaveSplasher Posted September 27, 2018 #319 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Q5 details may be delayed, especially if she's going to Asia. Doubt She will.

shipfriend_max Posted September 27, 2018 #321 Share Posted September 27, 2018 IMHO Cape Liberty is the most possible option for Quantum 5, since Anthem seems to switch to Southampton in summer season 2020 and apparently does not return to Cape Liberty in late fall. So she needs a replacement. During summer 2020 I count on Liberty sailing out of Cape Liberty, if Oasis replaces her out of Galveston. So in fall 2020 Quantum 5 could finally take over her itineraries. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff2802 Posted September 28, 2018 #322 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Also worthy of note is the approval of dredging operations to deepen and widen the channel into Cairns (Queensland). The environmental impact statement has been approved and the port authority intends to have the work completed in 2019: https://www.portsnorth.com.au/ports-north-projects/cairns-shipping/ http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2018/7/5/expressions-of-interest-being-sought-for-cairns-shipping-development-project The channel currently only allows ships up to (roughly) the size of Rhapsody of the Seas to enter the port. Passengers on larger ships are tendered ashore. The proposed works will allow ships up to 300 metres length to enter port. Cairns is already a major tourist destination and I expect it will become a regular call for Royal's ships that are based in Brisbane and Sydney. The project is not upgrading the terminal facilities and they would not be able to turn around a large ship.

Looks like they might sail a non-revenue TA like Indy this year. I strongly suspect you are right as they canceled all of April for Allure....March is too early to sell a TA - it seems they will be having a non-revenue TA followed by the drydock just like Indy! :eek::loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
