Rare Cruise Junky Posted February 5, 2014 #303 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Excellent - we were looking for a 7 dayer out of Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted February 5, 2014 #304 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The Spanish press release about Allure in Barcelona, just confirmed that Liberty will not home port in Barcelona in 2015 and will be replaced by Allure for the season. No word on where she would be home ported, but I would assume Port Everglades year round. I have not followed this thread and am not sure what has already been reported. Sorry if duplicate information. http://www.allureoftheseas.es/public/documents/AllureOfTheSeasNotaPrensa.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted February 5, 2014 #305 Share Posted February 5, 2014 http://staging.royalcaribbean.co.uk/our-ships/oasis-class/allure-of-the-seas/ Didn't expect 3 nighters as well Currently only showing one 3 nighter I think on October 22nd from Civitavecchia and a 5 nighter on the 19th of May from BCN. The itinerary would allow for 4 nights from BCN and 3 nights from Civitavecchia on all 22 weeks of the season though. This is what NCL first promised when they announced Epic a few years ago, but have now changed to just throwing in shorter cruises now and then throughout the year. The Italian press release for Allure only mentions embarkation from Civitavecchia and then announces the arrival of Rhapsody for the 2015 summer season doing Eastern Med sailings.

ahecht Posted February 5, 2014 #309 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So lets see if I got all this straight: Anthem replaces Indy on the Southhampton/Port Everglades route Indy replaces Navigator out of Galveston (or Indy replaces Freedom and Freedom replaces Navigator) Navigator replaces Jewel out of Puerto Rico for the summer Jewel replaces Rhapsody in Alaska for the summer Rhapsody will begin cruises out of Istambul, Turkey for the summer Meanwhile: Allure replaces Liberty out of Barcelona for the summer Liberty replaces Allure out of Port Everglades for the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAOk1945 Posted February 5, 2014 #311 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If Anthem replaces Indy on the Southhampton/Port Everglades route, do you think it will also do a cruise around the British Isles? Any theories/ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted February 5, 2014 #312 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So lets see if I got all this straight: Liberty replaces Allure out of Port Everglades for the summer Have we heard any rumors that this will happen with Liberty, beyond just deductive reasoning?

MADflyer Posted February 5, 2014 #313 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If Anthem replaces Indy on the Southhampton/Port Everglades route, do you think it will also do a cruise around the British Isles? Any theories/ideas anyone? per CC The line would not say where Independence would be deployed after its winter 2014/15 itineraries in the Caribbean. Nor would it be drawn on giving more detail on Anthem's itineraries. However, if the predictions are correct, the ship will offer identical itineraries as Independence, offering short cruises to France and longer itineraries to the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands.

ssb Posted February 5, 2014 #314 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) To quote a blog I can't mention name of : Sailing from Barcelona, while also offering embarkation in Rome, Allure of the Sea’s seven night itinerary will feature calls in Palma de Mallorca, Marseilles, La Spezia (Florence and Pisa), Civitavecchia (Rome), and Naples. Allure of the Seas will arrive in Barcelona in May 24, 2015, and offer cruises until October 2015. The Mediterranean cruises will go on sale to Crown and Anchor Society members February 12, 2014, and then go on sale to the general public on February 18. Royal Caribbean is bringing three new large cruise ships online over the next three years, with many (if not all) of them coming to the United States.

MADflyer Posted February 5, 2014 #315 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Have we heard any rumors that this will happen with Liberty, beyond just deductive reasoning? Barcelona RCI only confirmed in a Spanish press release for the arrival of Anthem that Liberty, the current 'Largest Ship in the Med', would be substituted for the 2015 season following '4 successful seasons' in Barcelona and would sail for 'the last time' from Barcelona this year. http://www.allureoftheseas.es/public/documents/AllureOfTheSeasNotaPrensa.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted February 5, 2014 #316 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Its fair to say she wont be cruising out of Barcelona. I can imagine where she will be base if stays in Europe apart from Rome maybe?I have a feeling we may loose her :( Well the official announcement indicates Barcelona is exactly where Allure will sail from. What happens to Liberty is not known yet. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Edited February 5, 2014 by Eng23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicNac4498 Posted February 5, 2014 #318 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Do you think Liberty will do Allure's 7 night itineraries over the summer, or still do its 5-5-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeck Posted February 5, 2014 #319 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Anyone have links to ports at Vancouver, Seattle or Seward for Alaska sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted February 5, 2014 #320 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I hope that LIBERTY returns to Europe, maybe on new cruises from Rome, as NAVIGATOR and MARINER have done in 2011 and 2012... But the fact that she might sail year-round from Port Everglades sounds logical, or: INDEPENDENCE stays at Fort Lauderdale after winter season 2014/15, and LIBERTY switches to Galveston. I truly hope that she will not be transferred to Asia and will become a "gambling-ship" as VOYAGER and MARINER!!! :mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERnME2 Posted February 5, 2014 #321 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Asia cruises are among the last itineraries which will be announced - IMHO not prior to July/Aug 2014...

Adventure, Brilliance and Anthem leaving from Southampton. Depending on Anthem they would need a replacement for Indy until then. Maybe Liberty could fill that as Adventure and Indy were all expensive cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Liberty could fill that as Adventure and Indy were all expensive cruises BRILLIANCE seems to sail from Harwich. ;) ANTHEM is expected to be deliverd in April, so I think there is no ship needed which "fills gaps". it seems to be 100 % sure that ADVENTURE sails out of Southampton in 2015? Because ANTHEM could replace INDEPENDENCE and LIBERTY could replace ADVENTURE...:D but I do not think that this gonna happen... Either LIBERTY will operate on new Med itineraries or she will leave Europe, if the first possibility will not happen... we will see.

So, it looks like Rhapsody sails from IST for the month of June 2015 prior to moving to Civitavecchia from July 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
