I'd be okay if they subbed out Bonaire with another port. Bonaire is one of the islands you only need to visit once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are pretty high right now with a hefty deposit too! We will be on the Harmony in October and wondering if booking it while on-board might save us some coin and possibly lessen the deposit? Then, will be on Rhapsody next February but in the Caribbean. Any thoughts? Thanks! Edited March 17, 2019 by SilkySal add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted March 17, 2019 #1503 Share Posted March 17, 2019 SIAP... can anyone assist? We’re looking to book a cruise the Greek Isle and trying to find out the release dates of the 2021 schedule. Typically speaking, when can one expect Royal to release these cruise dates? TIA !

I have a feeling this sailing will just keep increasing in price though so by the time you book on harmony the price might have increased a lot. But you would get a reduced deposit if you waited.

That's what I'm thinking too but DH wants to wait until October when he'll know his exact retirement date. I prefer booking when itineraries are first announced but the Rhapsody (for some odd reason) did not pop up when I put Panama Canal in as my destination. I only found it when I saw the posts on CC and, by then, it was already too late!😞 I just went back to RCCL's site and put Panama Canal as the destination and the Rhapsody cruise still doesn't show up. I have to specifically name the Rhapsody to see it! Why is that? Edited March 17, 2019 by SilkySal add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a need to at least see outside my cabin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I have hold of a suite without a deposit, but it's $8500. So I will probably drop it and just get the group rate for a oceanview.

TIA ! i am also anxiously awaiting to book Greek Isles in 2021. I've been following this thread for a year and Nov/Dec seems to be usual release dates. Prices were better in January with more OBC than when the 2020 dates were first released & prices have already gone up ( just trying to p!an for 2021).

sparky2928 Posted March 18, 2019 #1512 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Just wondering if there are any Fall / Winter 2020 cruises to the Panama Canal going to be released and when. I thought they would be released in the March 11th week but I have not seen any.. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin626 Posted March 18, 2019 #1513 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think Enchantment will do Panamá Canal que before reposition to San Juan as Vision will do later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to pass through the canal and I don't have to fly anywhere to do it. Also we live in Tampa so this is extremely convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why this itinerary would be especially popular with Floridians. I really enjoyed my Port Canaveral to San Diego PC cruise on Disney last April, and would like to do an eastbound PC cruise some day.

Does anyone have details of updates to be done during Radiance' drydock? New restaurants? Stateroom updates? Assuming Radiance returns to Alaska after the 2020-21 season, she could take a more northerly route than the ships crossing the Pacific from Sydney. This would be shorter than going via NZ. Samoa and Tonga are both on the way from Brisbane to Hawaii for example. Serenade homeporting in Sydney is almost a certainty now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
