Rare Petroplex Posted January 26, 2020 #2687 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I am increasingly getting the feeling that Galveston may not be getting a second ship for 4-5 day runs to Mexico. I'll love the Allure, of course, but would love to have the second option. It seems like most of those options have now been assigned to other places. There was a chart several pages suggesting that maybe the Adventure comes back after it leaves; perhaps. So.... most of the options are assigned elsewhere, but Royal is building that fancy new pier (admittedly for Fall 2021, not Summer). My guess is that wouldn't have happened if something wasn't filling the perfectly useful existing berthing space. I wonder if it is Royal that will be using it.

Galveston may have only one ship up until mid-November of 2021 when Adventure may return to the port from dry dock in Europe. Explorer could be a wild card and be sent to Galveston from April or May when Jewel leaves. Explorer has a few calls at Grand Cayman but otherwise Galveston is tough to speculate as most ports do not report their schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unexpected shipyard visit may be to install the interface to accept shore power. That's not a trivial modification. California requires that ships run on shore power while in port.

I do not know anything about engines, other than the fact that it would be fabulous if they.could go nuclear. I am fairly certain that they will also do all the things they did when the us based ships were amplified. Like refurbish the existing cabins. I was on voyager in August out of Hong Kong pre amplification and again out of Sydney in December. In August I noticed that the mable floors were stained and the marble skirting/baseboard was often detached from the wall and was chipped and stained. The absolute first thing I saw upon boarding December was the stained and damaged skirting had merely been glued back on. They didn’t give Australians a full amplification. They are doing that in Singapore I was told. They may well be doing engine work. I do question way they would bother as they have an icon coming out a year or so later. Is there really anything to see off of the west coast of the USA? I’m in Perth, on the west coast of Australia and cruise ships would likely have better luck finding ports of interest here. I don’t see the point of making a huge investment in voyagers engines to make them compliant. Quite possibly icon won’t go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon will initially have limited home ports due to the LNG fueling. Plus I'm not sure a modern mega ship fits California. Limited destinations and ports that repeat over and over. It's a rather boring experience once you've done the handful of ports within reach. A Voyager class ship is pretty much right sized for California initially.

Thank you for this link. This was exactly what I was thinking of! But what's interesting is how they will get from Hawaii to LA in 3 days, especially considering the ship would have to stop in Ensenada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbethel11 Posted January 26, 2020 #2696 Share Posted January 26, 2020 According to the same website, as we sourced the original confirmation that Voyager of the Seas would be heading to LA, it now shows that there are no sailings listed for June 2021 and July 2021. https://www.portsamerica.com/operations/cruise-los-angeles-terminal-schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springaussie Posted January 26, 2020 #2697 Share Posted January 26, 2020 With these Voyager sailings from Los Angeles what I suspect what has happened is Miami has hit the roof after the Blog ran article showing the port bookings and has asked the port to remove them from the website. When other port bookings for Voyager in Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin and Hawaii start disappearing we will know something is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Voyager class ship is pretty much right sized for California initially. What is the full treatment? Adding more cabins on deck 11 forward and relocating the fitness center in the back? And the new look of the pool deck. However, there is no difference how existing standard cabins have been treated I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
