Possible but why would they send her empty?

Perhaps RCI would use the time to finish the touch ups while enroute to Galveston?   I hope it doesn’t happen that way.

I am just wondering...maybe the reason Allure TA hasn't been released yet is that she will get her upgrades at the end of the season and sail empty straight to Galveston? Just a thought.

Shes not only TA not released, one or two more besides her. Hopefully next week!

Just got a email on spectrum out of Shanghai 2022.

I am was originally thinking in the next 2-3 days, but with the tweak they just did.  Would a TA be under the section of "other"?  Might not be until next week indeed.

We are still waiting for Serenade of the Seas end of March and April 2022 schedule. It does a repositioning to Singapore February 27- March 12 and then nothing until May 1 2022 when it starts the Alaskan cruise season. Does anyone know when those dates might be released? (Thinking dry dock but how can I find the schedule?)

With Royal never know, possibly yes. But you know me always looking at longer Repo's/TA's and seems like every yr couple are outside quoted dates, even couple Cruises I booked were after all supposed to be...

Yup I hear 'ya.  This last year was supposed to be the start of the big international touring for us.  Right now we would have been cruising along the southern coast of Australia, having boarded in Sydney early last month.  Soooo frustrating.  😞 

 

Not taking a chance until end of next year for international.  Have the Med B2B booked, but need this TA to connect it.  Won't try the Aussie trip now until early 2023.

We are always looking for longer trips too, and more exotic ports.  Seem like we can't always find that with Royal.  Please share here if you see a good one.👀

We also would love a change of pace and are looking for longer cruises, unique repos and a few "exotic" ports.  7N sailings are too short and B2B usually offer the same ports we've visited often.

 

We had a lovely 15N Tokyo-Seattle sailing on Ovation in May, sadly which I'm 99% sure will be canceled by RC.

 

The Apr 2022 TPs are now a few nights shorter and the only ports are Tahiti, BB and Moorea. Our canceled 2021 EB and WB 18N TP sailings also included ports in Australia & NZ.

Yes, that one crossed my mind also. For years did the Boston/Florida Repo's, when I started them were 13niters, then 12, then 11. Last 20yrs only had one 5n and one 7n, with these part of B4B's all rest my Cruises min 10nites...

I love the longer repo cruises too. 2017 was our longest b2b - Vision Quebec to Cape Liberty, Cape Liberty to Galveston totalling 27 nights 😁

Nice! Was to do Quebec-Florida Repo last yr on Vision as part of B3B including 10 & 11 nite Caribbean. Would been my first time on Vision Class in 19yrs, my Kids grew up on them 1996-2002. Did our first 9 & 10niters, our first Suite and made Diamond on Grandeur...

A bit off your topic but did the Snowbird Migration (Quebec-Fort Lauderdale) 13 night on Adventure Oct 2019 and what a great itinerary.

Such a shame, would have been an excellent trip.

We were with you on that one, and it was a great cruise!  We loved the 2021 itinerary scheduled for Empress from Montreal this year, and would have booked it, had it been on any other ship.

Woke up to learn my last 2021 booking is now gone, Odyssey's TA from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale.

 

Dear Guest,

The past year has been challenging for all of us. Since our suspension in March 2020, we’ve spent countless hours hyper-focused on developing new protocols and procedures, scheduling new itineraries, and adjusting and evolving our plans. Our situation remains fluid, and there is still significant uncertainty surrounding resuming operations globally. But what we do know is that we are dedicated to our Royal Comeback and getting it right.

Odyssey of the Seas is our newest and latest flagship and we want to ensure her inaugural season takes place as best we can. With that said, instead of debuting in Rome this summer, Odyssey of the Seas will begin her inaugural season out of Israel - a country that leads the world with its progressive vaccine rollout program for COVID-19. As a result, Odyssey will welcome Israeli residents at its new homeport in Haifa from June to October 2021. Regrettably, this means your sailing has been cancelled.
