Deployment 2020-21 booking season begins

[travelingla]

When does RCL usually release Norway itineraries? We are so anxious to see what is available from RCL before we book with another cruise line -- but the waiting seems forever now that others are releasing theirs.

Maybe they will offer a couple of 14 night cruises to the ABC islands between all the 7 night Bahamas on Oasis.  That would be my dream cruise.

No way an Oasis class could fit in Curacao or Bonnaire.

Oh well, I guess it will remain a dream.

ABC? I am terrible at the abbreviations on here, they should have an index

[gaylemh]

I just hope they replace Cats as the main show in dry dock.

Has it been or might there ever be a Freedom class (or bigger) that does does from Florida?  San Juan is too far to travel with small kids for us.

Might be too far for a 7 night cruise. Miami --> Curacao is further than Bayonne --> Nassau.

I don't recall a Freedom class ship doing that itinerary from Florida.  Explorer did it a few years ago, and I believe Serenade and possibly Navigator too.

You would think so given the feedback.

Adventure is doing it on her repositioning cruise on May 5, 2019, but it's 12 nights.

I guess this means Stamford, CT has been eliminated as a serious consideration? 😉

We did a 9-nighter on the Navigator from

Miami to ABC and Labadee last year.

Lol. 

 

It was a dead heat. They had to flip a coin to decide it and send Oasis to NJ instead of CT. 

[Ourusualbeach]

Wth Oasis in Bayonne, Allure in Europe, Harmony presumably in PC that just leaves the Symphony sailing from south Florida.  I guess that eliminates Galveston and Australia from getting an Oasis class ship....at least for summer 2020.

Explorer & Navigator do have a few sailings from Miami.

 

Adventure from FLL as well.

I didn't think AD had any ABC sailings from FLL.

There are a couple of 8-nighter's between Nov 2019 - April 2020.

Correct, as far as Galveston is concerned.

 

From what I read, the new terminal will not be complete until Fall 2021.

Oh yeah, I'm booked on one in January 2020.

[CruisingJoe09]

My guess is that an Oasis Class will go to Galveston when O5 comes out in 2021. Possibly Harmony or Symphony with O5 taking one of their places in Florida.

Doing ABC on Adventure February 2020 from PE 

[jonesy4life9]

I heard that Oasis will only be doing 7 night Bahama/Port Canaveral sailings out of Bayonne.  A little disappointed as we’ve been to the Bahamas many times.

I'm guessing Harmony goes back to Port Everglades during the summer, with Port Canaveral getting Oasis as a port of call only and not an embarkation point.
