Brisbane also needs to deepen the channel in order for the port to be deep enough for an Oasis Class ship. We will probably see a Oasis Class ship earliest in around 5 years in Austalia, as the infrastructure for the ship is not there yet. The likely cruises the ship will offer will be out of Brisbane to New Caledonia, including a stop at the yet to be built private Island destination of RCCL, mostly 7 day cruises per current Oasis Class deployment model, due to the warm temperatures year round in that area this would see a peranent deployment. Each port to receive the ship which will be limited as well requires a deep enough channel and a place to dock, as we will not see tendering on the Oasis Class. Due to the current restrains there are no imediate plans to send a Oasis Class ship but once the infrastructure is there it will happen. The Radiance Class ships are really the most ideal ship for the Australia market out of operative reasons currently, given that many ports are tendered and various that currently are not are not at all able to receive Quantum Class and if yes with restrictions. RCCL is hoping to see infrastructure changes in the South Pacific area however things go very slowly. Supposedly by 2021 the Channel will be deepend in Auckland that the Quantum Class can finnally dock and does not need to tender in the harbour.

RCCL never gives an answer to why they are missing - they have guessed...maybe it is chartered - all 4 of those sailings, maybe it is going in for a short drydock - 4 separate times with 5 day sailings in between each drydock, they will be released in the next week or so - that was 6 weeks ago. Clearly they have no clue why they have not yet been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ethanol95 Posted May 21, 2019 #1686 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Singapore is getting its longest ever homeport season by RCI in 2020-2021 with Quantum stationed there for a good 7 months! This is after her 6 month long homeport season in 2019-2020! 👍🏻 Edited May 21, 2019 by Ethanol95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right about when Navigator went in last year..... right after the ABC itinerary was completed. The same one Explorer is scheduled on.

It's the itinerary (or at least appears to be) we want but waiting to see what the plans are for the drydock etc. Few people reported less than 100% up and running on the initial voyages after Navigator went in recently.........

Can they do a short one to "satisfy requirements" and then do the majority of the work at a later date? Just curious, as previously mentioned we're waiting on details etc. to book the ABC's winter of 2020! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Chief can chime in, but I would expect that to take at least a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted May 22, 2019 #1692 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I was due to sail on a 5 night round trip from Miami on Explorer 15th March 2020. Sometime in the last 10-14 days all the March 2020 sailings disappeared from the website and I found out some had been Chartered. On my Cruise Planner my reservation changed to a 9 night Dry Dock Cruise going from Miami on 15th March 2020 to France. I rang yesterday and yes, my cruise is a code red and is being cancelled so that dry dock can start early. Apparently it will be next week before the passengers will be informed but the call centre agent says that I can transfer to another sailing now and apply any compensation later.

According to the website their are no EX sailings available in March/April 2020 so I'm assuming that's when the dry dock will take place. We're booked for the 9/nt ABC/Labadee in January 2020 so I went to check just to reassure myself! Edited May 22, 2019 by voyager70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
