The rust buckets have gone. I don’t think the majority of the ships will be back for years. I would be happy with a P&O ship,the new ones look good.

I have been on both them, great vessels, good size for Straya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassa Posted June 29, 2021 #528 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Nothing wrong with Pacific Adventure (old Golden Princess). The old Dawn Princess doesn't have as many bells and whistles but it would also be OK. Think you are wrong Chili about years before they come back. Did you watch Captain Kate and the first ship out of Fort Lauderdale? Bugs was not about, may-be she has to get him vaccinated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mean the cat - you are cruise deprived!!!!!! But don't lose heart - once we are generally all vaccinated, the ships will be back and I say next year in September. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted June 29, 2021 #533 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I like Capt Kate's mask, I wonder if all Royal Caribbean officers are issued with the the rank bearing masks? As for Bug, it looks like a feline ALIEN. 🤣 Edited June 29, 2021 by NSWP 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well poor ol Bug does not have to wear a mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliburn Posted July 7, 2021 Author #540 Share Posted July 7, 2021 RC have canceled the 2021-2022 season for Quantum and Ovation. Serenade and Radiance are unknown? https://www.cruiseweekly.com.au/news/aca-update-7-july-21/66958 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted July 7, 2021 Author #541 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Radiance is being pulled out of the Pacific and looks like it’s going to Europe. That leaves voyager and Serenade only available for a possible half cruise season in Australia. And possibly Ovation but I still think it will go to L.A.

Chiliburn, Serenade in the deployment is only in AU to end of February due to drydocking in Singapore. I think if any comes to AU now it will only be Voyager, if cruising opens up domestically.

Serenade will be ready for work as it has been active in Alaska. And as you said there’s the dry dock in Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted July 11, 2021 Author #544 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Here’s the Crown & Anchor benefits in print. Diamond lounge is open, which is great for the coffee machine. Only Pinnacles get the $25 meal voucher. So if you have a suite you get your drink vouchers through the day and then the happy hour at 4:30 . https://www.royalcaribbean.com/crown-anchor-society/program-updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
