NumnuT_OZ Posted September 6 #1 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Gday Guys, Thinking about Voyager for a Dec 2025 NYE cruise. My concern is its age & condition. Last refit in 2019? Love Radiance & Ovation and are really keen for a new class of RCI ship. We had a Voyager cruise cancelled due to covid.. Please let me know what you think for any recent cruises on Voyager in a Grand Suite. Cheers CS Edited September 6 by NumnuT_OZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 6 #2 Share Posted September 6 Never done a grand suite but have been on the Voyager, it was a great ship, perhaps it is due for another refurbishment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resordanis Posted September 6 #3 Share Posted September 6 We were on Voyager in a JS end of January 2020. Definitely needed a refit then, hope it gets a cabin refresh before it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted September 6 #4 Share Posted September 6 (edited) I believe she had a bit of update/upgrade/refresh of some of the cabins/public areas during the covid pause, and that is why it has been so long since her last drydock. As far as I am aware, she is scheduled in drydock next month. Grand suites are great, but I think we had an owner suite on Voyager and it was back when she was last in Oz. I do prefer Radiance & Ovation, but that is just personal taste. Edited September 6 by arxcards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers CS After the pandemic I believe it had two over halls ,one was a major one in Europe , France I think it was ? It’s an old ship but Royal usually looks after their ships and the Americans haven’t been complaining about it ,so it can’t be that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted September 7 #6 Share Posted September 7 (edited) After some research it appears the last interior overhaul was in 2019 in Singapore. That was that half hearted amplification they did before it came to Australia. It went to Singapore in the shutdown and floated around for a longtime. It had a sea worthy check and then went to Brest France for a technical dry dock. It had a lot of carpet replaced recently when some decks got flooded. https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2022/01/strong-start-for-cruise-ship-drydocks-in-2022/ Edited September 7 by Chiliburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumnuT_OZ Posted September 12 Author #7 Share Posted September 12 Thank you for the replies. Wifey likes the look of Celebrity Edge/Apex We have done South Pacific & NZ to death. Maybe a Fiji & South Pacific on Celebrity may work Or East cost of OZ for say 10 nights. Time to have a look.. Cheers CS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perche no Posted September 12 #8 Share Posted September 12 I'm considering a Voyager transatlantic. Does anyone know if it has steam and sauna still available without an extra charge? I sailed Explorer TA last October, and it still did. If anyone has any info on the state of this ship, the Voyager or Independence with regards to steam/sauna, please let me know.
