Jumping Cruiser Posted February 27 #2376 Share Posted February 27 8 minutes ago, Tree_skier said: Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with these LA itineraries on Quantum... Cabo and Ensenada. I don't even get off the ship anymore in Ensenada. I was hoping for a some California coastal cruises or a Hawaii or just anything but what they offered. I feel like the kid who just opened all his presents on Christmas morning and all he got was clothes! 😞 In Royal’s eyes… at least you got clothes, not just socks! 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would fit with the Freedom schedule above. No info on Wonder just yet. I suspect that her deployment may be held back a little though due to the Star delay announced today. She will likely have to remain on 7-Night’s in PC a bit longer than initially expected, before Star takes over at the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 2nd half of 2025 open and was hoping for something after I get moved. Right now I'm too busy. Panama Bermuda...Jewel used to do 11 days out of Tampa. I just dont see anything interesting. I assume short and sweet to save fuel costs. Getting royal cruises so they cost royal less to do. Cost cutting. Just same ole over and over. I hoped to move and have more choices. Wouldnt be with royal. Can see it, have done 50+ Cruises out of and to/from Florida of 10-16 nites, top Speed 21-23 multiple days. Longer Sailings with few Families, mostly Solo and Couples, high cost Fuel not as much Profit compared to Larger Ships.

She is staying on 7 night, finishing with a 6 night to land near the end of August, then has a one night deadhead repo before starting with a 5 night to get her lined up for a Friday-Monday-Friday 3/4 schedule. Subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be with royal. Keep in mind that all shipping is under global pressure to slow down. The days of high speeds legs reach a far flung port are being reduced in name of reduced emissions. Not all forms of shipping are playing ball but there is mounting pressure to do so and cruise lines are under more pressure due to the social media focus on cruise ships while most other forms of shipping sail well outside the limelight. This is playing a factor in route planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted February 28 #2381 Share Posted February 28 1 hour ago, Jumping Cruiser said: We are also disappointed with the lack of longer cruises, newer ships and unusual destinations in Europe. Couldn’t find anything of any value over the next couple of years, so have booked a couple with Celebrity instead. It’s like Royal are completely giving up and abandoning the European market, especially ex-UK and Northern Europe. Even when they have the opportunity to do something good, such as longer cruises on Quantum out of LA, they do the opposite and offer virtually the same short itineraries but just on two different ships. I see 2 ships being a ‘one season wonder’ to be honest. It looks as though RCI is moving to shorter cruises and trying to push those wanting longer itineraries to Celebrity. I looked at the QN cruises out of LA. Looks like they drawn up or planned by a third grader. No imagination at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they may have modified plans for Wonder, at least once she switches to 3/4. It looks like Utopia stays in PCN doing 3/4 on Mondays and Fridays which will occupy terminal one. I don't see Wonder doing the same Mondays and Fridays from PCN beyond August especially with evidence that Utopia will be. Looks like Wonder goes to Miami in September of 2025. But it's all speculation and subject to change. Edited February 28 by twangster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted February 28 #2384 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Apparently Wonder, Utopia, Liberty, Mariner, Jewel and Freedom are available to book in the TA portal.

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted February 28 #2397 Share Posted February 28 Winter 2025/26 rom Tampa there are 3 Vision class ships - Grandeur, Enchantment and Rhapsody and all are doing the Rotatan, Belize, and Costa Maya/Cozumel Route. I was hoping to revisit Key West again but that isn't looking like RCI will be offering there. Also based on selecting Dec 2025 - Apr 2026 the following ships are still missing - Anthem, Ovation, Radiance, Serenade and Voyager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted February 28 #2398 Share Posted February 28 Very disappointed that the only sailings longer than 8 nights out of either Miami or Fort Lauderdale is a single holiday sailing on Freedom. ☹️ I guess all I can do now is keep everything crossed that either Serenade or Radiance will fill that gap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
