blackjack24 Posted April 5 #1 Share Posted April 5 Wrong on Royals site and Skymiles cruises site. It isn't possible for there to be 8 different 7 night cruises in one month on the same ship. Do they have one of the ships wrong possibly. Looking to book asap but don't know what is wrong. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruises?search=ship:OA|startDate:2024-07-01~2024-07-31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if this was what the situation was. I didn't think it would be but wasn't sure as I've only sailed out of Florida but have been on quite a few cruises. Seems like it would be tough coordinating all of that. Thanks for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlbecker1 Posted April 5 #4 Share Posted April 5 I remember thinking this exact thing last year. I believe it is called interporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which port would you choose? Is one better than the other or closer to the airports? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyandGus Posted April 5 #6 Share Posted April 5 I prefer Rome, but Barcelona is a better port for access to the airport and hotels near the port. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends really if you want to spend some time in a particular city before or after the cruise. Purely on logistics for boarding the ship, Barcelona is best as its right in the city, half an hour or so from the airport. Very organised, last years Symphony cruise we were off the ship and at the airport by 7am. Rome port is actually Civitavecchia, a town about an hour plus from Rome. Lots of info on the Europe cruise port pages of CC about both ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo&fran Posted April 5 #9 Share Posted April 5 Problem is that the Oasis class , in the US , has had new terminals built to accommodate the number of passengers these ships carry. To get by this in the Med, they load half in one port and the other half in the other port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terminals at both can handle multiple ships on turnaround day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumshoe958 Posted April 6 #11 Share Posted April 6 Far more people embark in Barcelona than Civitavecchia. Barcelona is the home port. If you board in Civitavecchia it can feel like you’re joining the cruise half way through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
