In today's climate with Corona they are relying on the South Pacific and NZ for cruises. Personally I think if Quantum comes to Brisbane it will be a whole new set of cruises. I think if quantum does go to Brisbane the itinerary would have to be different. Airlie and Yorker have there own tenders but there a couple cruises to Eden? Would Quantum fit into Eden?

Do you think Royal and Brisbane will have some trial cruises to nowhere as Singapore is doing? Early next year ? I’m sure that new terminal is burning a hole in their wallet.

erinsmom03 Posted October 21, 2020 #287 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I booked our (cancelled) British Isles 2021 cruise almost a year ago, on the release day, November 12. Trying to decide if we should try again for 2022. Any signs out there that a 12 night British Isles cruise is in the works for summer 2022? This thread is how I learned so much last year.

I was on Mariner in the West Coast in Cabo... only my 2nd cruise. I definitely remember tenders, however cannot remember if shoreside tenders or RCL tenders from the ship. I'll have to look at old photos once I get home. Cabo has tenders. Depending on the number of ships in the bay, most ships use a mix of ship and shore tenders Also the local paper said La Paz was building a pier for cruise ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering if they are converting back to other tastes. There are two TP segments without passengers, in April 2021 Eastbound, and in late September 2021 Westbound to Honolulu. Fifteen days without pax Eastbound, and 10 days without pax’s Westbound. You can see the gaps in the photos below. I hope that means for our 2022 cruises, they will have completed that. What else can the gaps be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your theory was true and they are sailing empty then why would the last Alaska cruise be a Seattle to Vancouver. I'm wondering if they are still trying to finalize port stops on that Hawaii to Alaska leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given COVID who knows when that will be now. The other Q class would do half Australia/half Alaska as normal. Spectrum and Wonder in Asia. That leaves Voyager for West Coast US. II totally forgot about Lelepa. Makes sense. 8 hours ago, geoff2802 said: Alaska, US Pacific coast and Mexico! Radiance already did Mexico itineraries when first delivered to RCL, which included some 10 and 11 day sailings including fantastic ports further south of Puerto Vallarta such as Zihuatanejo. Would love to see La Paz... and even Loreto, Guaymas or a few others that Holland already visits. Would love to see a more extensive itinerary rather than just the normal PV, Mazatlan, Cabo route. Besides that, I believe Radiance is a poor ship for warm itineraries... smallest pool deck in the fleet, and just wouldn't compete well against Bliss, Horizon, etc.... RCL would have to discount prices imo. 1 hour ago, Seville2Cabo said: Cabo has tenders. Depending on the number of ships in the bay, most ships use a mix of ship and shore tenders Also the local paper said La Paz was building a pier for cruise ships. Yep, I already knew for sure Cabo had their own tenders. The question was whether Mariner had RCL tenders. My own photos, and those on line, have none of the RCL tenders showings, and it looks like all of the lifeboats are still on the side of the ship. So whether or not they were added on her AMP at the time years ago Mariner did not have RCL tenders. 39 minutes ago, Kokomo91165 said: Just announced - Quantum to Brisbane 2021/2022 cruise season.

Yes, just off the phone to RC and our first cruise is more or less okay but no South Pacific itinerary thereafter, just a short cruise to Eden and Sydney. Maybe do a short one on the Serenade to Melbourne around this time as we make D+ (maybe!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
