2020 World Cruise Survey released onboard

Those of us on the 2018 world cruise were asked to complete a survey about 4 possible 2020 schedules. Complete list on the blog http://www.theinsidecabin.com

Here is my favorite

I agree 100% with your choice of 2020 world cruise option. Are you doing a 2020 world cruise?

Thanks so much for sharing. We really appreciate it.

We received the survey at home by e-mail yesterday. Not associated to our 5-star Mariner number but associated to a "0" Star Mariner number I had created a few years ago to get HAL prices in USD dollars instead of the regular CAD dollars related to our regular account. :confused::confused:

I like the section going around South America.

But I would like to see more of China and Japan.

You are currently on a near perfect world cruise itinerary. For 2020 I like the WWII Pacific Islands, South Africa, and Atlantic Islands of option 3. Thanks a lot for posting the itineraries.

That would be our second pick, our first is the China/Japan/Africa version.

To call one of options Machu Picchu is hilarious, that is the absolute worst time of year to go there as it is the height of their rainy season. Trains and planes both can be impacted by the weather that time of year.

The names were my creation. HAL didn't call them anything except A, B, C etc,,,,,I just filled in possible overlands based on geography..

That's a very unique itinerary; very nice! She does China & Japan just about every year. Plus a stop in Mumbai where she hasn't been in a while! Very cool! :)

Gotcha, I feel better.

I am confused, the WC hardly ever does China and Japan and seems to always do Mumbai. Maybe my frame of reference is too short but there was great hoopla when it included China and Japan last year. Many thought it was a recipe for disaster due to the time of year. It was cold, single digits in South Korea one morning but we had a great time in all the northern Asia ports. As too Mumbai, some said they were not even getting off the ship they had been there so often.

I was just asking about this today, your timing is perfect! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Option 2 is almost identical to the 2019 World Cruise until Sydney (we're on the leg to Sydney). I was excited about the prospect of visiting Machu Picchu until I saw the price of the typical excursion there. Then I heard from friends that it's rainy season and I decided I'd just try to go another time. HAL isn't showing this yet as an excursion for 2019, but not all ports are showing excursions yet so I presume that it could still be added.

I love that they are asking your input. Thanks

I would pick # 1 as we have not been to Antarctica; # 4 least of all, you don't cross the equator. Of course we'd have to win the Lotto to pay for it but we can dream.

I agree with your choice! I just wish I could move up my retirement date by a few years!

I think it is already picked. They whant the info for 2021.

why do you think that? If it's already picked which one do you think it is?

Very interesting choices.

Which one, I have no idea for 2020, but I do think it is picked already and they are planning other cruises around it

Good point. I see the Amsterdam already has a cruise scheduled for 5/12/2020 so that would seem to eliminate choice #4.

 

Choices 2 and 3 would give you a 14 day gap while #1 gives you a 12 day gap . Leaving a 14 day gap would seem more likely so maybe #2 or #3 is the winner .;);)

So am I to infer that the World Cruise is geared to those who have done a WC before? As a first timer, would I be out of place or unwelcome?

We did our 1st world cruise last year, we didn't feel out of place or unwelcome . There were plenty of other first timers ( or 2nd and 3rd) .

I know some of the blogs make it sound kind of like cliches rule the ship but we didn't find that to be true . They most probably exist, but it's a big ship .:D

Cruise NH, thank you for your reassuring words.
