After RCI cancelled our Aussie adventure not once, but twice...they struck out with us. Have given Viking our Australia, SP, Taz, NZ adventure now, so didn't need 2nd quarter WC...plus I refuse to travel through the middle east (3rd quarter). We are on first and fourth quarter, and are totally excited about the ports we do visit. Sounds like a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking a bit pricey...but am very excited about the adventure. They do require early full payment with that company though...gulp...big dent in the nest egg coming up next month. 😮 But not leaving it behind. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj_connections Posted November 8, 2023 #979 Share Posted November 8, 2023 With prices this high I am going to jump ship (pun intended 😆) to another cruise line if deals are better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATG Posted November 8, 2023 #980 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Is this all of the European sailings? No British Isles or anything out of Amsterdam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with us...just trying to pack it all in as much as we can...while we can still do it. 😉 Already anxiously waiting to fill up 2026...since the next two years are pretty packed in already. 😄 Ha! Always nice to have a full travel calendar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only afford the nine days but will also be on Serenade just because it is our favorite ship (class) and maybe our last time on a Radiance Class in Norway!

Ashland Posted November 8, 2023 #987 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Glad I booked the British Isles for July 2024. Not interested in any of the itineraries RCI just released.

As Europeans, we have done many cruises in the Med, Northern and Baltics. To be honest, we feel a little bit disappointed because Royal seems to offer the very same cruises every year. There would be many interesting places that other companies offer. We have not cruised with other companies yet, but are slowly considering it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like us in the US and the Caribbean and Mexico itineraries. That's why we're changing things in 2026 to drive across Canada. New scenery! New food! ;o) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like they are catering to new to cruise but I guess that is what you get with a mass market cruise line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like they are catering to new to cruise but I guess that is what you get with a mass market cruise line. I posted this on another thread, why not try something like this, rather then a cruise. I'm beginning to think since Royal really doesn't have anything that great for 2025, maybe do something like this. I think any cruise that doesn't have Flam or Geiranger really isn't going to be that great, like we would be missing the boat. Why not do Norway by Rail/Land? https://www.vacationsbyrail.com/tours/arctic-circle-express-scandinavia/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare little britain Posted November 8, 2023 #994 Share Posted November 8, 2023 RCI appears to be putting all its eggs in one Greek basket… so many itineraries going to the Greek islands ! Overkill methinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overkill methinks. It would be nice if they were overnight, so you could actually get a taste of those places. But many Greek islands are overcrowded and tendering, which may be unattractive for many people. To be fair, RC probably didn't plan so many Greek cruises, but they decided to cancel all stops in Israel (at least Odyssey). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the same ports as always, with no originality.....Santorini, Mykonos, Ephesus, Naples.....although Brilliance has some variations but nothing past summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtoonarmy Posted November 8, 2023 #997 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Well thats me all booked!……… On P and O Arvia to Portugal, Spain, France and Italy for 14 nights. New ship and nice long itinerary. RCIs Southampton itineraries are about as appealing as a trip to the end of my road on a wet Tuesday. shame as I enjoyed my cruise on Anthem this year (my first ever cruise) Edited November 8, 2023 by adamtoonarmy 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechE31 Posted November 9, 2023 #998 Share Posted November 9, 2023 We booked our first ever B2B doing northern and fjords on Independence. The prices were cheaper than a Caribbean sailing and I can normally get flights on points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Royals site is saying no rooms for 2 ppl on the 7n Fjord and that 8 night one keeps erroring out. Guess will try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
