Otherwise it is a very late TA mid November... Yes! Ooops you are right, here in Europe we read them differently... Don't take it for granted though because these calls can change anytime as it is very early. Currently this is it.

I have done 3 TA's in the last 3 years, all in September or October. I am unable to vacation past the first week in November due to my job. So, there are TA's that start earlier.

Actually, the last one for 2019 sets off 9/11 from Barcelona. All others have left by then. Apart from JW going down to Dubai on 30/11/19 and 26/11/20. So if she is in Athens 2/11 she has to get back to her home port and then set off. It will be late compared to the others. Yes I know RH had a TA last year leaving on 4/12....but she is the last out on 9/11 this year. Edited July 30, 2019 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also seeing a nice Repo cruise from Quebec to Miami Oct 2020 when she resumes her Miami cruises.. 10 and 11 night Canadian cruises are also on the schedule. They are currently loading the schedules and the site is more temperamental than usual. I was going to make this a separate page, but probably best to wait until the official press release later this morning with all the info. The itineraries and prices are loaded in Espresso so it's official. Edited July 30, 2019 by EpcotBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know RH had a TA last year leaving on 4/12....but she is the last out on 9/11 this year. If you look at the 2019/20 TA's, most of them are in the last week of October/First week of November. So if Odyssey is in, say, Barcelona and Athens is the last stop of that trip (so on the way back), then around 5th November would be about right for the TA.... and there's other ships doing that exact same date in 19/20, as well as a bit later.

squick64 Posted July 30, 2019 #1871 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know when the rest of the 2021 schedule is coming out? And is there any way to keep track of it, like a notification when new cruises are posted or something? I was just looking at RCCL's site and saw a cruise I want to do, but they only have dates for 2020, and I want 2021. Of course, they might not offer this exact itinerary in 2021, but if they do, I want to be on it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lighthousemom Posted July 30, 2019 #1873 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) While looking up a certain cruise schedule web site that was mentioned on the 2021-2022 thread, quite by accident I discovered that Odyssey is supposed to be in St Maarten on Oct 30, 2020. This must be part of the TA, as there are no other appearance in Sep, Oct, or Nov 2020. And again on Dec 30, Jan 27, Feb 23, and Mar 24.

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted August 7, 2019 #1875 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just heard that P & O has cancelled their Dubai sailings for this Winter due to the unrest in the Straits of Hormuz. Will RCI follow suit and cancel Jewel going to the region. If so, this will be the 3rd cruise I have had cancelled this year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
