Either way, that doesn't help anything beyond April 2025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springaussie Posted December 28, 2023 #1505 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Chilli Quantum of the Seas is currently on sale for the cruise arriving into Brisbane 4 April 2025 Royal have made extra port booking into Brisbane 6 April 2025 to run a 2 night cruise 4 to 6 April 2025. Quantum will then reposition to Sydney to do the Ovation Trans Pacific 8 April 2025. Good question what is happening to Ovation. One of the Next Cruises told someone Ovation is China bound.

The cruise before Ovation’s transpacific isn’t for sale either but strangely the Honolulu to Seattle is still for sale. It might go via Singapore? Quantum’s transpacific has disappeared also.

springaussie Posted December 28, 2023 #1507 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Papeete Ports has deleted the west bound 19 October 2025 booking for Anthem of the Seas. 19 April 2026 booking still on Papeete Ports for Anthem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new longer cruise will run 2 days earlier from Sydney worked by Quantum. With most non essential staff on holidays in Oz for the Christmas period a few more port bookings should appear around Oz in the next fortnight.

Ovation has never been on the Hawaii List for anytime in 2025. This is why I have always been thinking Ovation is the weakest link and going elsewhere. Japan is a possibility. But I am just waiting for other ports to update the cruise calls so I can get an idea of what Miami Office are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRobbie Posted December 30, 2023 #1511 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The attached screenshot is from the Sydney port website for April 2025. Quantum showing up on the 8th is a new addition. Neither Ovation or Quantum appear again after this, Ovation had previously been showing for summer 25/26 however that's now changed to 'Unnamed Vessel'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping for an interesting reposition for Ovation. I think ,wherever it goes it will be via Singapore to either Japan or the Mediterranean . Possibility Ravenna . Vicky Freed has it in Hawaii but I don’t think that’s right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
