A friend of mine lives near Port Canaveral, he's says Oasis 3 and Explorer are homeporting from there in 2015. Work is scheduled on PC to accommodate Oasis 3.

Yeah, Oasis III is scheduled for 2016. ;)

Did he say whether EXPLORER will be homeported there year-round?? :confused:

Hopefully than she does not offer the boring 3-4-night itineraries which Enchantment currently offers!! :mad:

Hopefully the prices for Liberty get cheaper in 2014!! When Allure comes in 15.

IMHO I do not think that Liberty replaces Serenade! I'm Not sure whether Liberty could call at Ports such as santorin ;) i think Explorer would be better for that itineraries. Voyager should get a Magradome for a Pool in the 2014 reift. Maybe she'll be deployed in Alaska on 2014. ;)

I asuume, CELEBRITY REFLECTION; SILHOUETTE; ECLIPSE; EQUINOX will all return to the mediterranean area and offer the cruises to Greece and Turkey...

CONSTELLATION; INFINITY; ECLISPE are already listed in some European ports for 2015...

But there are several new questions for me, when ALLURE comes to Europe:

It seems she will replace LIBERTY and ANTHEM might replace INDEPENDENCE.

Where could those both ships sail than???

SERENADE is scheduled for Norway in 2015 to replace LEGEND.

Unteil 2014, SERENADE offers the 12-night-med-cruises from Barcelona (and some from Civitavecchia?.

Which ship could operate on these itineraries than, when SERENADE is in Norway?

I assume it could be EXPLORER.

BRILLIANCE is scheduled for Northern Europe also - she seems to offer the same Baltic and Norway/Iceland cruises in 2015 as in 2014... :)

Dome Ships simply seem Not to bei listed yet in med Ports. In northern Europe celebrity constellation, infinity and eclipse are listed, as well äs brilliance and Adventure od. The seas. Others should be added later.

Yes, and Anthem is listed in St Maarten from Nov 15 to Apr 16 - so she might so the Trips from Port canaveral, cause she is always listed in the same Dates as Freedom. Probably she replaces Freedom and she'll deployed elsewhere. ;) Does anyone have an idea where Liberty could sail in summer 2015??? :confused:

I agree. Might just keep her all year round.

 

Can we also keep the voyager & radience ?

Radiance is offering a Hawaii cruise to Vancouver in may 2015. ;)

So she seems to go to Alaska in 2015 as well...

Could be related to Explorer going to Asia after her dry dock in early 2015.

Or Explorer is coming to Alaska in 2015...

I believe someone said Navigator calls on St. Maarten every other week in summer 2015 - which means she will no longer be home ported in Galveston and may replace Allure in Ft. Lauderdale.

 

Or Independence may be staying

Yes, I've found the schedule for St. Maarten and there I could see Navigator very often in summer 2015!

Allure is listed every Thursday in Civitavecchia/Rome - from 06:00 am - 08:00 pm!!

What could Liberty do than?? :eek:

To be honest, nearly everyone should know that QUANTUM offers Bermuda cruises in 2015 :D, but here's an article - so it seems to be official more or less:

Hi everyone,

there is sooo much to read and it's long time ago that I opened this thread...

Have you a result for the group sailing in 2015?

Otherwise, what about Alaska on Celebrity Millennium or Radiance of the Seas in Aug/Sep 2015, or Canada/New England?

Could you imagine doing this? if yes, I'd be on board!! :)

Just keep me informed! :)

Going on Oasis in March. Have a ? for U since U did this 1 already. At Labadi is it possible to just go to the beach even if we haven't book any excursion?

Sorry, what does this have to do with Anthem of the Seas? ;)

If Anthem of the Seas sails from Southampton, and P&Os new Britannia as well in 2015, than we will have two large new ships sailing from Southampton in 2015 - sounds like a great competition!! :)

Hi,

does anyone know when Adventure gets the Royal Advantage revitalization?

She is in drydock from Mar 30 to Apr 09, 2014 - but it isn't enough for a major refit, I think...:confused:

I have read in these threads that when the Voyager goes into drydock (2014) a retractable roof will be added in the solarium pool, so for this reason Voyager could head to Alaska.

Very interesting - that sounds logical!! Thank you! :):):)

Maybe Voyager replaces Rhapsody - because among all ships visiting Alaska out of Seattle, Rhapsody is reasonably one of the oldest and the smallest - I think RCI needs a larger ship to compete with the other companies! :)

The Mariner of the Seas used to sail to Alaska

Does it mean that RCI plans do deploy Mariner in Alaska??

That would be a great idea!!! :D

I could imagine that she sails out of Seattle and replaces Rhapsody!!

I do not think that such a huge ship like Anthem sails to Alaska... maybe a Voyager-class-ship... could it be that Explorer sails to Alaska or is she also too large for that region?

Anthem should call ports which can handle the ships large - only ports in Europe and the Caribbean can handle such ships...:)

Oasis III from Southampton?? Sounds interesting!!:eek:

But, to be honest, I cannot really remember that such a great ship goes on 14-night-cruises- also many ports cannot handle the large ship... ;) or the port capacities will be enlarged until 2016, when Oasis III debutes...

Anthem from Southampton would make more sense than from Barcelona - as already written, it's better for the english speaking nations! :D

But i think it is possible to tender with the Quantum-ships?

Maybe this also depends on where the Anthem is sailing in 2015...

So as long as we are speculating here what does everyone think of the Allure possibly spending the summer in Europe in 2015 after her dry dock in the spring.

 

RCI tested the water with the Oasis in the fall of 2014 after her dry dock and judging by the prices she commanded in Europe it looks like the demand was there just not the right season for her to spend a longer amount of time.

 

Allure could sail Europe for the summer with Anthem as well, that would possibly free up the Indy to take Allures place in FLL for the summer.

 

Whatever happens it will be interesting next spring once all the schedules get released.

Allure should have her dry dock schedule in 2015 - so I think she might do the Europe itineraries in 2015 which Oasis does in 2014...

But I think she won't sail the 7-night Western med out of Barcelona which Liberty does currently - if Allure did it, some ports couldn't be visited - for example, Villefranche, because you have to tender there - so the nicest port on the itinerary would be missed...

Liberty should also offer this itinerary in 2015... ;)

It would make sense, because the british market is very important for RCI...

But for me it wouldn't matter whether Anthem or Independence sails from Southampton - I think on both ships you'll have a great cruise experience... :)

More important for me is that Serenade of the Seas sails out of Hamburg in August 2015! :D

I believe that the Anthem is still going to Europe. But Royal Caribbean wants to announce it.

I think (and hope) so too...

I'm not sure why Anthem has been replaced by Independence on the calendar but I wouldn't hold much faith that it was to cover something up. We found St. Maarten listings months before Quantum was announced. Those even listed a ship number rather than name for a while because it was so early. Royal Caribbean never made them remove those so I don't see why this would be any different. It very well could be that Royal is still thinking of how to use Quantum and Independence together and really have swapped some plans between the 2 ships if they are both sailing from Southampton.

I think they only have replaced Anthem by Independence because RCI does not want that many people know hat Anthem sails out of Southampton until RCI has announced anything... ;)

But QUANTUM from Southampton I do not think so... I think she will be based year-round in Cape Liberty...;)

But if Anthem sails out of Southampton, let's see what happens to Independence...

They may have changed it because this week RCCL UK announced there will be 100 redundancies in their UK office, so perhaps they didn't want to rub salt in wounds or perhaps they are peeved that the news of Anthem sailing from Southampton got out before they were ready to announce it ? :confused:

Could be like that - I think RCI does not want that it's known that Anthem comes to Europe until RCI has announced any official news. ;)

Why is it for sure that Anthem is sailing from Southhampton? Perhaps I missed something. I am really hoping for a longer itinerary for June 15- maybe I am dreaming but I guess we'll see.

In Villefranche and Le Havre, Anthem has been listed for 2015... ;) but it's not officially yet...
