Rare little britain Posted July 25 #151 Share Posted July 25 6 minutes ago, sowhat said: A statement from Michael Bayley which never happened Michael stressed the importance of the UK market which he said had been significant to the line “almost since the beginning of the company”. “I don’t see that ever changing,” he added. “In fact, it’s so important that I promise you will bring Icon of the Seas into Southampton. The UK will be the first country and market that we will bring this incredible ship. Ah yes, we all remember that 'promise' so well..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that might mean she would arrive after the weekend without a problem? Maybe but I have doubts...they want to start their work on a Monday Edited July 25 by cruiseboy89130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know QE2 used to do 6 and the old SS United States did less than 5 but that was from NY and fuel was cheaper and more powerful with fewer environmental regulations. Absolutely! She is in Ponta at day 8 and only 1 seaday away from Cadiz! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum and Anthem did 8 night non-stop Southampton to Cape Liberty. Actually, Quantum stopped at Ponta Delgada for several hours (during the day) for a med evac. Azamara Journey did 10 night non-stop Lisbon to San Juan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely; it all depends on how many stops are in the itinerary. I was just noting the shorter than 12 night TAs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say destination, I mean the next port of call or next destination, which in this case is Cadiz. The TA will not end there and will likely go to either Lisbon or Barcelona. Apologies for the confusion! 🙂 Edited July 26 by Jumping Cruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Teeara Posted July 29 #167 Share Posted July 29 Does anyone know roughly when the transpacifics open for booking? Looking for Hawaii to Australia.

gallagher123123 Posted August 8 #171 Share Posted August 8 Any thoughts on what the Northeast deployment might look like for 2026 2027? With Liberty going to South Hampton, are we thinking Independence will be the Freedom Class ship for Cape Liberty, along with Symphony and Odyssey? Possibly Vision continuing in Baltimore? I think that would leave Boston as the last question mark. We typically get a Radiance Class ship, and I wonder which one it will be. I don't think it will be Brilliance or Serenade, so that leaves Radiance and Jewel. Jewel has that Saint Martin call on November 6, could that possibly be a stop on a Boston to San Juan cruise like what Brilliance is doing in 2025?
