It could also be a tease that ends up being something else completely. I was on a cruise around N.Z. Just a little while ago . Just before Ovation was going to leave N.Z.and cross the Tasman sea back to Sydney . A heap of people disembarked before the end of the cruise. Like quite a few,over a hundred. I was told they where doing a around the world trip organised by R.C. Apparently they come from L.A on Navigator flew to Australia did a cruise and then on to Singapore ect ,ect . Maybe it could be something new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 28, 2023 #1727 Share Posted May 28, 2023 My guess would be that Allure heads back to PC in January 2025 and Utopia heads over to Asia at that time. Pretty sure with the importance of the Asian market long term that when they do re-enter that market it will be with a new ship and not one of the oldest OA class ships out there. Given that Utopia's itineraries have not been released the above is accomplished without redeploying any existing ships 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my TA putting a hold on it (and the 2nd) but if the price is nuts we won't book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ethanol95 Posted May 28, 2023 #1731 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Is there any timeframe from that C&A post to when we should hear further developments? Or anyone knows anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allure can't tender at all. None of the Oasis class ships are designed for that. Only smaller ships can go to the many small ports that would justify a world cruise. That is why Radiance class is so popular with the more exotic cruising. Edited May 28, 2023 by island lady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was I wrong in hearing that the newer ships were being designed to also tender within the O class? Heard it a few times, but I don't know whether its just talk or fact.

Heard it a few times, but I don't know whether its just talk or fact. The deck plans for Wonder have an area on deck 2 called "Boarding Area". Some people took that to mean tender area. I think it's just the area used at ports of call for getting on and off the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
