Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app No, but Singapore and Hong Kong would be the most likely homeports, wouldn't they?

shipfriend_max Posted May 31, 2014 #2930 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The 10-night Asia cruisesin fall 2015 on Legend look quite appealing :) - could be a reason to go on a cruise with this rather old ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springaussie Posted June 2, 2014 #2931 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Looks like Quantum of the Sea will be in the Bermuda Triangle of Asia from June 2015. Only catering for the Chinese. The only thing remotely possible is a longer cruise during the Winter maybe to Australia or Singapore. But I have my doubts. “All China-based RCL ships will be filled with Chinese sourced passengers. China will represent about 6-10 percent of global 2014-15 capacity for RCL. Chinese consumers want the best and pay premiums (ticket and on board). http://www.travelpulse.com/news/cruise/royal-caribbean-execs-bullish-on-future-of-quantum-ships-chinese-cruising.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Quantum cruises to Singapore in the northern winter are entirely possible (probable?). For Quantum to come to Australia though, there would probably need to be an economic downturn in China. This is occurring now, with their property bubble deflating, although the depth of the downturn will depend on how readily the Chinese government stimulates their economy. It really is beyond Royal's control. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know of the 10 night cruises on Legend It will be soon simply because most of their competitor's have released their itins for 2015/16 already, whilst the last Mariner cruise currently on sale is in March 2015, only 9 months away, and no Voyager 2015 Asia itins at all are released (except the Freo repo). Royal would not want to be in this position. The Quantum surprise redeployment and planning for Legend's deployment has surely forced a re-think on itineraries for Mariner and Voyager. We're eagerly awaiting their release as we are planning to cruise in Asia Dec 2015 or Jan 2016. Currently, the best for us is an 11 or 15 night on Sapphire Princess :) They better get on with it, or I'll go ahead and book this one. Are you listening Royal?

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thats good. I sure hope they are listening! Wondering IF royal decides to have singapore as a constant port of call or even a home base for part of the year next year, what itineraries she would sail. Hopefully mpre 7 nights and to new and more exotic places rather than port klang and phuket Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the extra capacity they have now allocated to the region, they can deliver this. Rhe Legend cruises are a decent start, but of course she and Voyager are both in Australia for the southern summer, so if you want to cruise Asia at that time... Well they've got an opportunity to help us with Mariner! I'd be very surprised if Singapore wasn't a home port for a large part of next year.

Hoopster95 Posted June 10, 2014 #2943 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Looking at the 10 day Vision from FTL with stops in Charleston & Bermuda for 2016. Will this schedule be released Spring 2015 or *hopefully* earlier? I hope they continue this itinerary. I heard no, with Vision going to Europe for spring/summer season then back to Tampa full-time (not Ft Lauderdale). Maybe another ship? And then there are the rumours (yet again :p) of Majesty leaving after it's current final sail date listed (Apr 2016) so would Vision or another ship take over that itinerary? I would think RCL will want to filter Bermuda bound cruisers to the Anthem if/when Bermuda gets there act together with the dredging issues. You're right about the 10 day itinerary. I'm looking at it really hard for a last minute booking either this or next month. Early predictions figured there would be major discounts (because it goes to Nassau, and the first night in Bermuda is almost wasted as a "day" in port) but it's risen in price almost double from what I remember the last few months. I can point out that when Enchantment did a short season of 8-day Bermuda + Boston + Rhode Island itineraries in 2012 for the first time there was a lot of positive feedback there too, but that trip was never again repeated either.

springaussie Posted June 15, 2014 #2944 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just before a group of Aussies book later this week is anymore updates on Explorer of the Seas Trans Atlantic available. The latest I have heard non revenue to Cadiz in March 2015. The group would prefer Voyager/Freedom class.
