lensonlife Posted March 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I’ve been checking frequently- because we are scheduled to sail 6/29. Earlier today it was still there. Now there are no sailings showing with Radiance. It is still showing in my bookings though. What’s your guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted March 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) this might be related due to the delays at the shipyard causing delays of the refurbishment i also noticed the Carnival Legend cruises out of NY in May and June is also gone too..not good for me Edited March 27, 2020 by shof515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayGirl Posted March 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2020 We just noticed the same thing. We’re on a Labor Day week radiance cruise. Hoping to hear soon if it’s a go or no so we can adjust our plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDisconnections Posted March 27, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Earliest Radiance sailing currently available on Carnival’s website is Nov 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lensonlife Posted March 27, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Carnival is supposed to provide an update soon- I wasn’t sure if that would have impacted the June cruises, but news is news. This was according to their Instagram post a couple days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted March 27, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Legend has also had all its European cruises pulled for this year and its first cruise that can be booked is November. Assume tomorrow we are going to hear about the Mardi Gras delay, Miracle which is showing NO cruises at all, and the changes to these two ships.

lensonlife Posted March 27, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The 6/29 Radiance cruise I’m scheduled to be on is actually a 9 day Eastern Caribbean Journeys. But I do believe it was the refurbishment that seemingly is canceling it out. The Europeans were the 5 sails prior and they already canceled those.

mj Posted March 27, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I was booked on the Radiance for the November 29th sailing. This sailing could be in jeopardy too if there are further delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogibear Posted March 27, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'm wondering if they pulled the Legend and the Miracle to be used as hospital ships. I am/was scheduled on the Legend May 16th, 2020. Dang!!! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen i am going to take a wild guess that the Legend will continue cruising out of Tampa when cruising resumes. she was originally scheduled to reposition from Tampa to New York and sail out of New York for a few cruises and then do a transatlantic to Europe for some sailings in Europe then a transatlantic back to the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar question to what’s being asked regarding the Royal Amplified project that was supposed to take place right now on the Allure of the Seas... also scheduled to be in Cadiz with the Radiance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ldyandrea Posted March 27, 2020 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Purely speculation on my part, but my guess is that based on what’s happening now they will delay, if not shelve entirely the refurbishment of the Victory. I sailed on her just before she went to Spain, and there really wasn’t anything wrong with her at all anyway. It is still very much a pretty and well-appointed ship. This refurbishment seemed to be more of a growth activity, rather than something desperately needing to happen to keep her in service.Carnival, and other cruise lines are going to be looking for ways to save cash right now until they are operating at full steam ahead again. I suspect that they will decide to push off that project for awhile.Just my opinion. I could be wrong.Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship is in good condition. The analyst are predicting it could be more than a year or more before the full demand returns to the cruise industry. With that in mind, I think Carnival will put off all expenses they can. So, in my opinion, we will see The Victory for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we have a B2B booked on the Radiance in September, if it was still the Victory we wouldn't mind. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lensonlife Posted March 27, 2020 Author #20 Share Posted March 27, 2020 An update would be nice. At this point I can still purchase excursions, drink packages, etc. for my sailing. Seems Carnival would cut that line for their guests if they pull the sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayGirl Posted March 27, 2020 #22 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I wonder if its worth putting her back together or just delaying Radiance sailings at this point. I’m not optimistic we’ll be sailing or Radiance cruise as they still show for Nov and beyond. Husband and I figured out our back up plan last night so we can call right away if something is announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it’s entirely possible they could stop where they’re at and put Victory back together- putting her afloat (and I would be happy again if this meant I got to sail lol). That said, it’s likely some very “Victory” things were already destroyed. Wonder what they’d call it. A pipe dream anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quattrohead Posted March 27, 2020 #24 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I am going to stick my neck out and say they will be scrapped and the new builds will survive and be delivered, eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
