Overnight in Reykjavik an a stop at Akureyri then onto Greenland We debated jumping to this from the Brilliance Sept 2 Northern TA this year. Decided to stick with the Brilliance though as it stops in the Norwegian fjords which we really enjoy and also goes to Nuuk in Greenland which is a rare stop for any cruise line. I think outside of the luxury lines or the smaller expedition ships, Princess is the only main cruise line that makes a stop there. It was tempting though as we enjoy Celebrity more, and really enjoy the Summit much more than the Brilliance, but ultimately itinerary won out. Did the Brilliance Northern TA in 2014 and loved it. Was waiting to see what the Brilliance did in 2021 but I didn’t realize she has been redeployed to stay on this side of the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like sailing from Baltimore and want to go cheap, choose Carnival. A radiance would have more berths to fill. While in theory it should command a higher cost it comes down to supply and demand. If they have a harder time filling the ship cuz of the extra berths it could go down. It’s not like an Oasis class ship that has a ton more amenities You get a mini golf course and a sports court as the key enhancements. Also more glass views, some restaurants, pool tables. The Radiance is my favorite class ship, but it’s not drastically different like a Voyager or Oasis level difference. Since it’s not that many extra berths the pricing would likely be a 50-100 higher I would wager, but not like 500 higher for an equivalent Grandeur sailing. But what do I know? RCI has no rhyme or reason that us as consumers can determine half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rimmit Posted January 7, 2020 #2440 Share Posted January 7, 2020 With the rapid expansion of berths of all cruise lines, and RCI leading the charge with their mega ships, it will be very interesting what happens in the next recession. Wonder what prices they will have to offer to fill the ship given that the number of cruise ship berths will have more than doubled since the last recession.

As I've said in past, 30yrs ago a week at Disney was lot Cheaper(Hotel inc), now the Cruise is the more economical... Started Cruising when they started Oop's, missed one. 32 ships in 31 yrs. My first Cruise in 1988, yr this long run started. At first wanted wanted do every new ship, but settled with every new Class, usually largest in World at time. Last Decade picked the Cruise, not the ship...Thanks for posting list, cant believe missed one ship Edited January 8, 2020 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted January 8, 2020 #2449 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Liberty’s February 2021 sailings have just been cancelled to accommodate a longer dry dock. Jewel is being offered as an alternative, which explains her short Galveston deployment that was discussed earlier.
