Condition of Brilliance?
Chiliburn replied to cruisin from florida's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Apparently they dock at 8:00 pm and there’s another ship booked for the next morning. It will be dark and they all have to get off Not the most glamorous situation. -

Chatting with a friend onboard and she said the next 2 cruises have been cancelled. -
Geoff,I’m thinking those Rhino Beatles?.
-
My friend on board said the next two cruises are cancelled,so it might be serious.
-
I haven’t heard anything only a rumour of steering problems and they can’t run one engine but that’s unknown. If they go to Singapore ,that’s the transpacific gone out the window.

You are going to love this one !! Its only resent and this is what the cruise lines are up against. I think it was put together by Rod and his mates ,what did he call cruise ships? Floating disease infested garbage cans .

Fly to Sydney and grab a car for a week
-
It’s running on one engine, there’s going to be some unhappy people onboard. I have friends onboard and it was a pretty good itinerary and all they got to see was lifou .

Apparently Brilliance has engine problems and is limping back to Sydney .
-
LA could be a possibility it’s getting pretty old though. I don’t think it would be very popular there or Singapore.

@springaussie Nobody seems be asking where Voyager goes after Brisbane season. The only place I can think is ,here year round ,Dubai or a long shot would be Tokyo.

Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins
Chiliburn replied to SummmerInKefalonia's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Anthem has the season booked in Sydney and Voyager in Brisbane Port schedules. Ovation is off to Shanghai/ Hong Kong according to Hong Kong cruise society. -
I think we at Euro 5 which is behind the developed world. I think we are going to jump to Euro 8 or something in the new year. But for off road or at sea we are at nothing.

I called Royal Caribbean and it sounded like he was overseas somewhere. He said they still have price protection. I asked ,is that in Australia and he got a bit vague and said yes. I had a bit of a scratch around on the internet and this what I found. It looks to me it’s within a couple of days of booking only,a cooling off period.

They must still plan to bring Voyager through the Suez Canal. I thought they might bring it around the bottom of Africa and straight to Perth. We should find out in a few weeks.

OK ,that’s interesting ,was it an old booking? This is a new booking. My agent is one of the biggest cruise specialists in Australia,it might be via RCI only . I might call Royal Caribbean. https://cruisepassenger.com.au/news/how-a-loyal-royal-caribbean-cruiser-beat-the-complexities-of-cruise-with-confidence/

What date was that Glen ? I find it hard to work that website out ,is it the reposition?
-
2nd week in April I believe
-
I just asked my agent about the cruise with confidence program in Australia. Thats where ,if the price drops Royal will match the lower price. Unfortunately it’s no longer in Australia,the closest is the refundable deposit. Back to the bad old days.

It doesn’t matter if we like it or not it’s something we just have to deal with . Just like tax ,we just have to deal with it .

Try the mercantile ,they should be able to do something and it’s just a stone throw , 25 George street ,in theory it should be 30 meters away but I think it’s a bit more. https://www.themercantilehotel.com.au

I don’t know about this for cruise ships but it’s Bill Gates and Hyundai behind it .
