Rare twangster Posted June 12, 2023 #1755 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just to show how important Perfect Day at CocoCay is, they have a column in the chart from post 1762 just for PDCC. Someone's job is to fill that column as much as possible 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder about their hurricane contingencies 🤔 I don't think they try to pre-plan hurricane contingencies because hurricane impacts are not known until they are about to occur. Without knowing the track of a tropical storm and the timing it would be impossible to run endless what-if scenarios for hundreds of itineraries. Royal has been dealing with the impacts of tropical storms long enough to know what works and when to make changes. The vast majority of cruise itineraries during hurricane season go off exactly as planned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting a long time for RCI to either start or end in Shanghai. We did a Singapore to Shanghai and would love to do something similar again. Possible open schedule date June 26th ??

I am thinking wait until the 26th. The fact they are doing a test load now suggests they are close to releasing China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted June 12, 2023 #1768 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I wonder if they are changing when they do test loads now. The Spectrum China test load is two weeks from release date. That makes me wonder if they already did a Utopia test load and we missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought when the newly Amped Navigator was put on short FL. "What are they thinking?" was my response. Since that time though it's proven to be a brilliant business decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher on board spend as well. Royal is just following the money. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
