And is it then Anthem to Singapore ?

Yes.

Just an update the Jewel from Amsterdam to Barcelona July 29, 2024 has just been posted.

Another crazy price point with the JS's pricing higher than the GS's.

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. After her summer 2024 season in Europe.

That Southampton- Singapore repo could be nice!

Might be from Barcelona if it's a dry dock in Cadiz. Or maybe a Singapore DD

Yup. Also watching for that possibility. 😂

Would probably work better for me as it would be a few days shorter.

if this happens It will be interesting to see if Anthem and Quantum connect in Singapore for a Southampton to Brisbane cruise.

That would make a pretty amazing S2S.

The British public are bored of Anthem.
Many are jumping  ship to brand new p&o or brand new MSC which beat an 8 year old Anthem with 8 year old shows … 

 

The problem is the ship still gets booked, but I agree... we're 'Anthemed out' too. Its not so much the ship itself but the same shows year in year out.

 

Maybe we'll consider P&O if we sail from Southampton next year.

At least it will be Odyssey in 2025

Yup, looks like alternating 3 and 4 night nassau and coco cay cruises for Utopia, as expected. Nice catch. How'd you find the link?

A TA sent me a screenshot for a cruise one time.  It included the URL.  It's not something I normally use, not very often.  When I saw your post it jogged my memory and that made me think about Utopia.

I know we have thrown this idea around on the ANZ forum but ?

 

What if Anthem goes to Los Angeles for the northern winter and does Alaska during the summer?

That would give 3 Quantum class in Alaska, the big cash cow $$$

Navigator could do a trans pacific to Australia October to March and return to Los Angeles to replace Anthem.

"Greedy" We've waited much to long to get Navigator here. Not interested at all in Anthem.

Just curious, why don't you want it here? I don't expect you to be going on short cruises, so what is your reasoning? Just making the port and Terminal 1 more crowded?

If she is thinking like me I dont want another brand new expensive ship out of PC. I'd like something low $$$$. So I can stay on longer without guilt.

I only asked b/c knowing her a bit, she's more likely to spend 3-4 weeks on Wonder (which I know she already did) than go near a 3 or 4-night cruise.

 

I'm with you except that the prices for Indy are already high for the 3/4 cruises and if Utopia wasn't coming, I think we'd just have kept Allure that will be doing them for a little while. Would Allure be cheaper than Utopia? Probably, but I'm not sure by how much. I guess my general feeling is that the short cruise prices are going to be pretty awful no matter what going forward. Obviously I hope I'm wrong. Those aren't our typical cruises either but we did a few on Indy back in July and October just b/c of the price at the time. And one was a 3/4 B2B just to spend time on the ship and go to Cococay twice b/c we love it there.

Yup, but mostly parking at the terminal.   😮  They are already having problems even getting pax to be able to use the parking outside, let alone inside the garage.  Even the "grass" parking is getting full.  When we arrive for Wonder, the parking pax from Utopia will already be settled in.

Yup, no way I would consider a 3/4 night cruise. Geezz...even a one week is too short for us.   I do have a one week Wonder coming up next spring...but that is just using up a freebie cruise.  😉

Took a friend up to Seaside a few days ago.  The drop off and parking at T6 (Seaside) and T10 (Getaway) was a mess.  In 30 minutes we went 100' at best.   Ended up dropping him at the empty T5 drop off and he walked over from there. 

 

The days of driving to the port are over for me.  Rideshare all the time now.   

 

MCO isn't any better.  All parking is routinely full.  

 

I don't know what it is or where everyone is going but everyone is going somewhere.
