Crazy planning mom Posted July 31, 2018 #126 Share Posted July 31, 2018 RCI have started very early with port bookings for the summer 2020 European season. Port bookings at Gibraltar confirm that Anthem of the Seas will be based out of Southampton for the summer season in 2020 along with Indy. Jewel appears on May 5th and it is unclear if this is maybe a post dry dock re-entry to the MED or if the ship is heading out from the MED to another home port for summer of 2020. As Brilliance is booked at both Grand Cayman in 2021 and has a September 2020 at Gibraltar it looks like she will stay on the same pattern with Amsterdam and then later a Barcelona mini-season. Even with this early start it would seem that they are still booking Celebrity and some remaining Azamara before they really get serious with Royal port bookings. Where can you look this up?

ONECRUISER Posted July 31, 2018 #127 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Azipods make that easy. I was referring to I think a Quantum ship leaving the shipyard via a river/canal. Going backwards may have reduced draft. Probably the opposite of what needs to happen for clearing a bridge, but just shows they can accommodate obstacles. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Watched that show. Like all those behind the scenes and of course anything to do with Cruise ships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted July 31, 2018 #128 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Oasis class will likely do the same in Miami to the new A terminal as the turning basin would be tight. Could be. Know size 1200/1500/1600ft of Basins it would fit in them, not by much at Fischer's. Also not sure if ships can use the whole Basin safely or Oasis Class going length of Channel(s). Anyone know? I remember they had to dredge ports for Oasis, lot of work was done to Nassau's channel including width to get them in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted July 31, 2018 #129 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Where can you look this up? It is all based on various ports that have posted their 2020 bookings. Gibraltar and French Riviera Ports are two that I know are reporting already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis class will turn next to Fisher Island like Container ships, they will not go down to the turning basin.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk By going backwards the azipods pull more water under the ship, this slightly increases the depth of the river. Would not help under a bridge...

I am interested in a Holy Land cruise Fall 2020. Jewel is doing one for 2019. How likely is that she will do one in 2020.?Otherwise, Celebrity seems to do one every year. Of course, Celebrity is more but if RCL isnt doing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laddcalcagno Posted August 10, 2018 #137 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Very interested in keeping up with this thread. Hoping to do something out of NJ again in 2020 and Anthem is not popular in our house. A Freedom Class ship would be very welcome, but we're also hoping to keep Adventure another year and possibly do Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springaussie Posted August 12, 2018 #139 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I feel Royal will be releasing a lot more of the cruises before Christmas then they did last year. It is virtually a way to print money for Royal with these non refundable deposits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irelandvegas Posted August 15, 2018 #142 Share Posted August 15, 2018 We hope to sail Anthem out of NJ late spring of 2020. Reading this, it seems that the April dates are the last. Is there a chance they will publish May dates , then TA to Southhampton? We would like to do the longer Bermuda-St Marteen- San Juan-Labadee route if possible. Is there a chance that the replacement ship will make that run in May? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not count on it for Anthem. Most TAs happen in late April or early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This suggests she'll take over the 7 nighters from Rome that Jewel is doing in 2019 (also calling every other Monday). Then heading to Australia.
