Darwin Ports 0730 to 1700 Voyager of the Seas. 07 December 2025!

Anthem of the Seas 18 April 2025 double booking for Hong Kong and Honolulu has seen Honolulu deleted. Still no bookings for Ovation April 2025 but Quantum appears twice April 2025 for Honolulu.

Great to hear you got to KI Chilli! We spent a week at American River April 2022.. Flew in and got the ferry out. It was a mistake having no car but got some relaxation and did a day bus tour.

Chilli did Brilliance make it to Kangaroo Island?

Chilli Thanks I will have something to look out for on Quantum later in the week! Enjoy Brilliance,

The issues for Brisbane Cruise Terminal will happen when the Port is closed due to rough conditions. This happened a couple times during Covid. This is certainly not the place to hold 3000 plus passengers. Imagine Quantum can’t dock Friday until midday Saturday. Pacific Encounter is due in 0600 Saturday. Carnival Luminosa has a Sunday turnaround 0600 - 1600.

Can you buy the drink packages on 3 night cruises from Southampton on board? In Australia they sell the drink packages on 3 night only onboard day one.

I see Eden now has a few bookings in the name of “Ovation” in the 25/26 season .

Does anyone know if Lelepa will be a dock or tender pier in the beginning?

Cunard has announced it will stop homeporting the Queen Elizabeth in Australia from 2026 onwards. The ship will only visit the southern hemisphere on world cruise segments. In a statement from Matt Gleaves, Commercial Vice President of North America & Australasia, he said, “We know that many guests in Australia and Japan love to sail with Cunard and Queen Elizabeth is already on her way to Australia to begin her 2023/2024 homeport season starting 27 November. “The ship will also return for her scheduled 2024/2025 season and whilst this news means that from 2026 there will be no locally based program, Australia and Asia will remain important destinations on our round-the-world voyages and we look forward to welcoming guests from these regions wherever they chose to sail with us.” https://cruisepassenger.com.au/news/cunard-pulls-the-pin-on-queen-elizabeths-return-to-australia/?fbclid=IwAR3zlYintiiOOrJp7NpZzymeFw9JrDAznvac96DtiVb-0GGco0kqIL4zMlE_aem_AYi8EUZNPjJiEk4ccirzQpHccslkEpqaknQD1_OE6-HCzhLlTBOxTse_QRyoYEBk2cA&mibextid=9R9pXO

With how recent the port booking appeared in Hong Kong I would say via Japan. Anthem is booked in Hong Kong and Honolulu the same day.

I thought Granduer was in the Alaska deployment? Not Serenade.

Alaska 2025 now getting loaded. i can’t see any new repositioning cruises yet!

Kona twice 25 and 29 April 2025 for Quantum.

( Something to watch later in the week,) Hawaii ports opened up Honolulu 29 April 2025 bookings a few hours ago. No Ovation listed for this date to match the current cruise on sale. Silver Moon has a booking in Hawaii for the 29 April. Quantum has 2 bookings now 23 April and an over night one 27- 28 April 2025. Anthem is booked 18 April 2025. We should know in a few days.

Doesn’t sound promising for 3 ports on a South Pacific cruise from Brisbane. P&O have missed the afternoon visit on day 3 at Noumea a few times recently because of delayed Brisbane departures.

Thanks Feel free to send a message Chilli!

Look like Royal are testing Europe 2025 but I can’t bring any of the cruises up. It has been on the for the last 4 hours.. Anyone had any luck?

Chilli can you remember the Crown and Anchor Society post on FB with Allure and the caption. Get in, we’re going global. 🌎

Thanks Chilli Certainly doesn’t add up. Royal are always changing port bookings. At least my guessing game can go longer.

I was having a look on the weekend at Royal cruises in the Mediterranean and Caribbean mid 2024 with prices thru the roof. First thought was Royal will never get anywhere near that for cruises from Brisbane or Sydney at those prices. This morning I seen prices for P&O Pacific Explorer doing a lap of Oz in June 2024 with prices equal to those. If Royal does get year round here maybe it will more cruises around Oz instead of North Queensland and South Pacific. It will be very cool and probably rough doing the bottom of Oz at that time of year.

Quantum to work Ovation’s Trans Pacific. Anthem to go via Hong Kong to Alaska. Ovation to go to Asia with possibly a few extra cruises from Sydney in April/May 2025. Chilli that’s my guessing for now. What are you thinking.

On the rolling 18 months in advance schedule for Hawaii Quantum has appeared visiting 23 April 2025.

Am I right in saying if sharing a 4 person ocean view cabin on Oasis or Quantum Class ship it is not possible to have a shower else where for free. Voyager and Radiance ships have showers in the gym change rooms.

What about San Francisco for Ovation?
