Would that be an around Australia ?

They advertised Voyager as ,a new ship is coming . The thing is older enough to vote.

I don’t know if they are changing direction from a Private Island like Coco cay to downgrade of a beach club. This is Nassau Beach Club,it’s next to a Hotel complex called Atlantis . Its a short ferry ride from the dock and it’s optional ,not included in the cruise. https://royalbeachclubatparadiseisland.com

It seems to have changed from Perfect day Lelepa to Royal Beach Club and he’s not sure. That Iririki island in Vila is on the market and would make more sense with year round income. They now have flights from Vila to DFW in Texas .

Yeah, I won’t be rushing to book airfares. I wish the would be upfront and we can book something else. So any news on the dry dock? Do you think they will finish painting the ceiling in the suite lounge?

I called them the other day and the fella said,you wouldn’t believe the calls we get about voyager Rome to Singapore. He said it’s sold out solid and is still planned as scheduled,which I find hard to believe. There’s plenty of cabins on the Singapore to Brisbane leg and there’s even cabins available on Quantum in 2 months time.

@springaussie looking at Voyager’s last technical dry dock. Do you think it might be due after the 25-26 season? https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2022/01/strong-start-for-cruise-ship-drydocks-in-2022/

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/

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.

Yeah I missed that ,$200 mark up. But cruise lines are there to make money ,you are paying for the convenience and their assurance you will get back on the ship.

Here’s a screenshot of Sydney bridge climb as a comparison,they haven’t got fuel to pay for.

How long is it because I don’t think that’s unreasonable in this day and age . Royal Caribbean put their bit on top but $300 a head ,to the outer reef in a jet boat seem reasonable . Have a look at Sydney bridge climb .

Actually,Solstice does that run . If it is Voyager,that’s what it could do . I was thinking they might home port a Voyager class in Vancouver but apparently it’s a bit tall to get under the bridge there on high tide . Is there a port a bit south of Seattle to home port Voyager because Seattle is pretty well at capacity.

I will have to suggest SPAM sushi in R.C’s Izumi next time.

Tahiti only has Anthem and Celebrity Edge doing the trans Pacific for the 26-27 season. What ever ship Brisbane has ,must be going to Asia over 2026 winter .

So what culinary delights does Carnival serve on the odd days,SPAM ? Apparently it’s world wide not just Australia . R,C food isn’t much better. It used to be on port days,let’s save our appetite for when we get back to the ship. Now we are finding that port days are to find some decent food.

I thought it was a big announcement. Probably as big as the announcement that Carnival group will only serve Bacon every second day,because they can’t afford it .

BIG GAV is still on the job ,but not mention of resort . https://www.dailypost.vu/news/royal-caribbean-delivers-school-supplies-to-lelepa-students/article_45967310-4107-52ef-815c-58b869d809ae.html

It suppose to be an extra 10 days steaming from Europe to Dubai or Singapore ,no passengers. Apparently that’s what shipping companies are quoting.

It could even be a place holder for something else if Voyager doesn’t come. Spectrum or even Navigator might be due for another dry dock around then.

Where’s it going over winter Glen?

I think they are putting all their eggs in one basket with to many big ships . Things never stay the same and they aren’t as flexible as a mid size ship . There’s only limited places to put them.

I wonder where it goes over the winter.

If it was called Legend,why would that make it be going to the Pacific? But anyway they must be running out of room in the Caribbean.

Take some washing powder and do it in the shower,everyone does it. Theres no way around the internet price but you can share it .
