Topo Gigio Posted January 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What are the biggest surprises you think will happen in the 2015-2016 deployment schedule? Freedom or Indy to Galveston. Jewel to Alaska. Allure to dry dock in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Freedom to Asia, Enchantment to South America, and Oasis to PC.

Rare island lady Posted January 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Why do you think that Freedom is going to Asia? That is what the crew told us when we were on board last month. But you know how rumors are. RCI is good at keeping things under wraps....and the rest of us guessing! ;) Will be getting some additional info when we board again in a few weeks.

CRUIS4ME Posted January 23, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 23, 2014 How about the new Quantum class ship - Anthem is it? Isn't it due to come out late 2015? When will it appear for booking? Where will it go? Interesting that Jewel may go to Los Angeles...! Where will it cruise to - Alaska? or somewhere along Calif coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, it would not surprize me that your observation / prediction is correct. We were on the freedom in dec and also heared similar rumors. I also noticed a lot more wait staff in the dining room / windjammer that are from china ....... is that a training program for them to prepare them for the not so futured guests ? RCI probably will make a lot more profit in the asian market - there is a lot of people there with money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 23, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 23, 2014 If depth isn't an issue Quantum to Alaska? It does have a enclosed pool, but the flowrider would need dry suits depending on the weather temperatures. Highly doubt it but you never know.

It does have a enclosed pool, but the flowrider would need dry suits depending on the weather temperatures. Highly doubt it but you never know. Quantum won't fit thru the Panama Canal, so they would have to either go around South America or go to Australia during on the off season. Also, with Quantum being so long, it might be a tighter squeeze in the glacier viewing areas than they are comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted January 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I agree that Alaska needs an enclosed solarium, so that would mean only the Radiance and Vision class ships for Alaska. Keep the Radiance and bring on the Jewel out of Seattle! *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVE those ships and having them within driving distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squadron Posted January 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Jewel to Los Angeles for 3 sailings Do you have an idea of the time frame for sailings out of LA? Do I assume eventually Jewel will end up on the Alaskan run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with Quantum being so long, it might be a tighter squeeze in the glacier viewing areas than they are comfortable with. Would it fit the the new Canal? I haven't kept up on the Canal changes in relation to ship sizes. Unless Quantum leaves NY for the summer there is no chance of this happening in my mind. Just a day dreaming idea. I wonder what the glaciers would look like from the Sky arm, or whatever it is called.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the glaciers would look like from the Sky arm, or whatever it is called.:p Quantum would fit in the new locks, but might not fit under the Bridge of the Americas. Same problem that Voyager/Freedom/Oasis class would have with the new canal. Edited January 23, 2014 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI 2015 Jewel..San Pedro (Port of Los Angeles) This is what I have heard so far...hope it's true. 9-26-15 10-3-15 10-10-15 Let's hope it turns out this is just testing the west coast waters again and they will be "Good" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would want to keep the Sky Arm down while going under the bridge, if there is any chance of it fitting in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
