We have booked this trip on the Edge in April 2026. Didn't even consider which side of the ship to book but we have booked on the starboard side.

I guess we will know tomorrow

Pretty sure it's voyager, the current terms and conditions even lists voyager sailings in its kids sail for $59 exclusions

Thanks 😊

Sorry if it’s been discussed previously but I can’t find it within the thread. is Utopia remaining in PC and still doing 4/3 night sailings in May 2025. I know it’s not released yet we are coming over from Australia and are doing a week on Norwegian Aqua then have a week before we sail on Icon so considering Utopia for the time in between cruises

Will be keeping a close eye as we are booked on the Ovation transpacific in April 2025

It is a very beautiful area with several trails, swimming holes and palms itself is pretty, but not much there. I haven’t done the rainforest trail but from what I remember it’s a fairly accessible one. The link in the above post should give you more info. Please be aware it is a good trip out of Townsville to get to McClallans lookout. We live 30 minutes drive north of the port/city and it took us almost an hour to drive up there

Pretty sure RC has a few spare ships hanging around, they should just leave one in Aus for winter!! I say Winter loosely for QLD, today is a cold day and it’s 25 degrees Celsius I also heard Anthem is coming to Australia 25/26, so just swapping a Quantum class for a Quantum class 😢

Hi all just wondering when roughly you would expect summer 2025 cruises to be released. we are booked on a transpacific Sydney to Hawaii in April 2025, we then want to fly to Miami and go on Icon of the seas. We basically want to be going on 3rd May which is the disembarkation day of the last cruise currently able to be booked thanks

A by Adina is worth a look, super modern and clean studio/apartment accomodation, opposite Wynyard station and light rail. Good for access to shops/restaurants and walkable to circular Quay or 2 stops on light rail

The problem with cruising in Australia is it’s such a large land mass that most areas to cruise in are separated into different cruises, for example 10 night itinerary to do the North Queensland coast and Great Barrier Reef, 12-14 days to do New Zealand, 6-8 days to do South Australia and Tasmania and it’s rare to get all those combined into one cruise. Celebrity do seem to tailor their itineraries to rotate through them so you can put back to backs together to see more, or there are some one way itineraries on HAL and Princess that start in NZ and end in Australia. so much to see and do here, we have lived here 12 years and haven’t even touched the surface yet

My friends on Ovation October 23 cruise also just had Eden cancelled

Thanks looks like 24th feb has gone for Edge but still remains for 8th March

I’ve just looked on the port schedule and can’t see anything for Eden whatsoever, am I missing something. it also seems to show Celebrity edge now coming into Sydney a day early and anchoring at Atholl Bay the day before we embark when she is supposed to be in Eden

I can’t comment on either HAL or Carnival, however we have done both P&O and Royal Carribean and just came off Pacific adventure yesterday. we quite like P&O but we tend to utilise them in our winter season when other ships are not here. If it’s during our summer season we would always choose RCI over P&O P&O ships are old, they have refurbed the public areas nicely but the rooms are small and haven’t been updated and starting to look a bit rough round the edges. Food is good but the new menus are a little unimaginative and having to pay extra for basic items is a bit off I feel. I had avo on toast and they wanted extra for a poached egg!! Entertainment is ok, shows are excellent, a few solo duo artists around, however we couldn’t get a seat for any trivia all weekend. we do love RCI, the ships are new, modern, spotless and so much to do, cabins are large and modern. We love the variety of entertainment on board from shows to bands to musicians, trivia’s practically every hour and loads of different venues so somewhere to spread everywhere out. We did the GBR cruise last November and yes it was busy but the ship holds the crowds well.
