Chiliburn Posted June 6 #2876 Share Posted June 6 (edited) I’m predicting Voyager won’t be coming to the Pacific because of the trouble in the Middle East and one of the Radiance classes,probably Radiance will do a repo to Singapore via Japan . Radiance or serenade would have plenty of time to pick up Voyager’s itinerary for Singapore to the Australia season.

It is just an additional 10 days to go around Africa for a one time repositioning and most lines are doing it that way. No need to shift ships and complete schedules as this would cost much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted June 6 #2878 Share Posted June 6 Radiance is up. 8-night Pacific Coastal from Vancouver to San Diego on 26 September. 16-night Panama Canal from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale on 4 October. Prices look sensible. Thereafter, 3- and 4-nighters out of Fort Lauderdale. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FionaMG Posted June 6 #2880 Share Posted June 6 It must have just come out yesterday. I've been checking every day, first thing in the morning my time. Glad you were able to get it. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereafter, 3- and 4-nighters out of Fort Lauderdale. 3- and 4-nighters from Fort Lauderdale is really intriguing in that it's now the second spot in the 2025-26 Caribbean deployment where RCI has two ships directly competing with each other. And it makes me think that Fort Lauderdale short cruises could also move to an Oasis-class in a future deployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Dan Posted June 7 #2882 Share Posted June 7 (edited) I want them to go in the opposite direction and do a 10-12 night on an Oasis class ship. Sadly I do not think that will be happening unless you can do a Transatlantic which I can’t for many years… Edited June 7 by Southern Dan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do have Radiance PC B3B this Oct in 9256. Also next Spring doing Jewel B4B had to settle for 8168 since dont like to change Cabins, they also dont have the $$$ up charge for Sunset Balcony Cabin that Oct2025 Radiance has. Was a Good Day overall, 3 more Cruises had major reductions, saved $1700 today alone. 5 my Bookings offering Military Discounts. Called Royal, took all of 21min total time Dialing to hangup and he was very Knowledgeable. Felt like today was Christmas!

I have more available vacation time in the fall and I'd much rather do Europe to USA to get the long flight done on the front end of the trip and to gain an hour each day vs lose an hour each day. The bigger issue is I need to make sure my wife has the best time on our cruise to Alaska this August and get her onboard with my goals of cruising at least 2-3 times a year...we also have an 11 year old dog that is her shadow so she doesn't like being gone longer than 8 or 9 days tops. Once he passes she'll probably be more open to longer trips...will probably be a few years which is fine in my book because I love our sweet boy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I will see a price this low for a Suite on Panama Canal cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done lot of Oct/Nov Cruises out of NE, many more during peak Hurricane Season chasing named storms. Typical have the Sea Sick bags out around Ship on at least few days on Majority my Cruises. I actually enjoy the ride with feel of being on a water and why all my Cruises last dozen yrs been on smaller Ships. Shoot even Panama Canal Cruise last Fall we ended up with 8 straight Sea Days due to rough seas and a named storm.

Having done transatlantic sailings in December, I go in with the expectation that the outside decks won’t always be an option, but hubby and I aren’t sun worshippers anyway. Sometimes I forget that so many on CC are very Caribbean oriented. Sorry 😕 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry 😕 Well you are assuming something.... being a sun worshipper and being trapped inside only on the "barfboat" are totally different things! Looking at weather data you will find December is not that bad - while February is the worst month of the year for a TA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at weather data you will find December is not that bad - while February is the worst month of the year for a TA! I think we’re both making assumptions here, for example I disagree with you that being inside a ship is all about drinking. Just so you know who you’re dealing with, that December transatlantic I referenced was on the 600 passenger Pacific Princess. If I can keep busy for 18 days on that ship, surely I can find things to do for 12 days on an Oasis class. As for the changing weather, I once did a world cruise segment from NY to SF on the Queen Victoria. In January. We started with the outer decks covered in snow and watched it all change within a week. From the same window at our favorite table during trivia, we’d see a snowy Statue of Liberty, a glorious Ft. Lauderdale sunset, and the walls of the Panama Canal. This was the coolest part of that cruise…. feeling like instead of the ship bringing us through parts of the world, it brought the world to us, by virtue of the views through that same huge window. Of course we spent time on the outer decks as well, especially during the transit, but it eventually got way too hot for me. Maybe that is why I don’t need a lot of tropical weather all the time. I realize this perspective is not for everyone, and that’s ok 🤷🏻♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
