Checked last night when I realised that the Eclipse is now coming to Australia. I think a RS was about $AUS 40,000, ouch! I guess it will have undergone the revolution by then and they can name their price. I might stick to unrevolutionised ships for now. The Eclipse prices also rocket after the revolution.

These new itineraries were on line Thursday.  Booked for 14 Feb 2021 and got the stateroom I wanted along with the Classic Beverage Package and TA OBC.  Not thrilled with the price but really liked the itinerary.  Hopefully, prices will drop after a few months.

We are booked on the Eclipse 9/25  & 10/11 sailings starting in Vancouver ending in Singapore.   Then a gap until 11/24 when it heads from Singapore to Australia? Possibly chartered for 4 weeks?

That’s ambitious with only a 10 day gap in her schedule and she also needs to get from San Diego to Vancouver during that time frame.

 Guess that explains tge gap.  I had a schedule from mid-August that had the Eclipse completed in April.  

 

Now I guess We need to rethink if we want to be on the ship as it is heading in for the redo.  Visions of venues being closed and dismantled and things getting prepared to be moved off the ship.

Hmm... interesting. We are on the Chile to San Diego cruise that finishes Mar 30.  Now if refit isnt taking place until November there is a gap from Mar 30 to Apr 10. Would be great if there was a coastal to Vancouver tacked on and we could sail home.

The Pacific Coastal and Alaska cruise schedules will be announced on December 11.

I would expect that the March 30 cruise will be from SAN Diego to Vancouver bearing in mind the April 10 cruise is from Vancouver to Honolulu.

We booked Tokyo to Singapore, October 2020 at weekend then found out that the refit date had changed....We did confirm with the on line ‘chat’. It is a shame but it is such a unique and wonderful itinerary we are going ahead anyway. 

 

We will get to experience Equinox post refit next year....You never know we may be glad to return to the original design! We were on Eclipse last month and she was still in very good shape so we aren’t too worried.

I am hoping for this!

[cruiserdudebobby8]

wonder if we will see a solstice class in Bayonne summer 2020

[tiff2]

Does anyone have the ongoing schedule for release of info for Fall 2020. Understand there has been partial release of info, but understand there is a schedule for remainder of schedule within the next few weeks. Looking for specific dates as I have open booking done recently and want to pass on to my TA and make reservation ASAP.

Did you see the price for the 18-night Transpacific?  It reminds me why I don't sail Celebrity anymore -- they are certainly reaching out to a totally different clientele.  They're asking $7061 for their cheapest Inside, and $9461 for their cheapest balcony.   AQ is over 11K.  

 

We're taking Radiance a couple says later for $4300 with an aft balcony.

I did. They’re either dreaming or high. That price won’t last. There’s too much competition on that route.

agreed prices are horrific...........
