springaussie Posted July 31 #3077 Share Posted July 31 Both of these documents give me the impression 1 September 2025 Voyager is going around Africa with passengers. Europe season will be cut short.

Loved it and are looking forward to taking it from LA back to FL one day. It was a great cruise and a ton of fun. We made a bunch of new cruise friends! Pam and I miss you, Linas! I'm currently working on the video for the day we transited the canal for my YT channel. Bummed I'm not seeing that I have a picture of you and Louise on the helipad bright and early otherwise I would've included it. It was indeed a great cruise. Everyone should do a PC cruise if they can, especially a full transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a fun trip, heading to the Bahamas and Coco Cay. The forum for that cruise has only about a half dozen folks on it and it's been rather quiet.

Rare twangster Posted July 31 #3084 Share Posted July 31 Looks like Serenade does the Canal from SAN to MIA then has a non-revenue repo to Cartagena leaving Miami on Oct. 2, 2025 before she begins regular service from CTG on Oct. 5, 2025. Guess they figure they can't sell enough berths to make it worthwhile to open the repo. One way Miami to South America doesn't violate PVSA.

Crism Posted July 31 #3089 Share Posted July 31 I loved my trip on Rhapsody from Colon in March, but based on the prices, I'm VERY surprised to see Serenade on it. We had tons of first time cruisers though so I assume they're trying to drum up more business with a nicer ship. All of these sailings will be in every single casino list like before. I'd do it again for sure but a more diverse itinerary would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 31 #3090 Share Posted July 31 Now I'm really liking my 11 night on Explorer March 30, 2025 after seeing this. Mia (round trip), Puerto Limon, Colon, Cartagena, Oranjestad (overnight), Willemstad. And got it at a great price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted July 31 #3091 Share Posted July 31 Very poor itineraries. With the goal of three sea days they managed to have only two ports from the ABC Islands in 7 days and on some cruises even a sea day between Aruba and Curacao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal use to have 5 Day Bahama Cruises out of Florida with a Sea Day between Nassau and Coco Cay then there and MIA. Ship puttering along at 3kts. Woke up at 3am as ship was dead stopped rocking side to side while keeping straight up with waves hitting side straight on. Was a weird feeling and why woke me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
