cruiserdudebobby8 Posted October 17, 2013 #26 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Isn't Quantum an all weather ship, perfect for the Alaska itinerary and the volatility of the weather in that area. yupp Quantum class are all weather ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdudebobby8 Posted October 17, 2013 #27 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I agree. I've traditionally preferred Princess for Alaska due to stop in Glacier Bay. Now that I've been there twice, I would like to explore some other ports or fjords. If Royal placed Anthem in Alaska for the summer, I would jump on it in a heartbeat. Anthem in Alaska would be amazing!!(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springaussie Posted October 18, 2013 #28 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Rhapsody of the Seas is booked into Fremantle Port (Perth) Western Australia on 13 September 2016 and 20 September 2017. For Rhapsody to make this commitment she would have to leave Alaska early August. It would be safe to say Rhapsody it is not on the Alaska run 2016 and 2017.. http://www.fremantleports.com.au/Visiting/Cruising/Pages/Cruise-Ship-Visits.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted October 19, 2013 #32 Share Posted October 19, 2013 What about 2015? Currently booked to arrive Sydney 1st Oct 2015, and not visiting Fremantle til later, so still forecast to be similar to previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, that's very helpful......because we are all sort of wondering why Hawaii to Vancouver May 2 is still missing. :D:):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted October 19, 2013 #35 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I thought that I read that one of her cruises to Hawaii either this year or last year was cancelled as he ship was chartered. Maybe the same thing is happening in 2015. Edited October 19, 2013 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same thing happened again this year. Sorry, 02 May 2015.....13 nights from Hawaii to Vancouver. According to "critterchick", the Sydney to HNL prior is also missing.

The Sydney to Hawaii is missing and nothing for May at all on the Australia site. Kirsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlemidge Posted October 19, 2013 #42 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Bummer! Thank you Kirsten. :) I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with them. We just did the reverse Hawaii to Sydney and booked this on board so whatever the issue is it has just happened. I just hope if it's a new ship it has the 2 bedroom suites as that is what we need (too many kids). And if it's a charter I vote a Country Music Cruise!

Coralc Posted October 19, 2013 #43 Share Posted October 19, 2013 We sailed Sydney to Honolulu in 2012...what a great cruise! And we really enjoyed our time in Sydney. I have no idea what is going on with these cruises. But if it is a charter...we will probably pass. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are happy as long a kids club runs and we get the room we picked! Though we do have friends that were booking the same trip next week so I guess they are locked out now til we find out what is happening.

Kirsten Kirsten, I've never been on a chartered cruise...but from what I have read, you have to book through the charter company, and it might not be a group that we wish to sail with. A charter would not be my first guess for these 2 cruises. My guess would be a possible redeployment. Rhapsody may be moving somewhere else. If that is the case, our cruises will be cancelled, and we might be offered something different. But I have no information about the future, and we should just hold onto our reservations, keep our fingers crossed, and wait and see. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we have to book so far out. Anyway what will be will be. At least if it goes ahead we are already locked in!

All the best Kirsten Sometimes it can be a partial charter, where the only impact is onboard, there are activities and depending on numbers the other passengers may or may not be affected. However, it can also be a full charter, in which case your existing booking would be cancelled. That said, it may be something else from a charter such as changed itineraries or even dry dock (though I also don't think that likely), so not much you can do so far but just see what happens.

shipfriend_max Posted October 19, 2013 #48 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Could be related to Explorer going to Asia after her dry dock in early 2015. Or Explorer is coming to Alaska in 2015... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted October 19, 2013 #49 Share Posted October 19, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
