dancinman66 Posted July 18, 2014 #3001 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It is starting to appear Voyager might be a closed shop in Hong Kong 2015. The only cruise on sale is the repo Hong Kong to Singapore 14 October 2015. Maybe all charters. It is getting frustrating all these ships heading to Asia just for charters.

heatherbelle Posted July 19, 2014 #3002 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) On June 26, Voyager of the Seas will sail a six-night cruise from Beijing (Tianjin) to its new homeport of Hong Kong, where the ship will offer 22 sailings through October 2015 for international vacationers. The three- to 10-night sailings visit Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, as well as destinations I found this on the web using google. I wish we could find out soon, because reward flights will start appearing soon for August. I have just sent RCL Asia a face message.

Royal have always put out pretty media statements like this for all Asia deployments. The issue is getting on these sailings between May and September because most are charters. Try booking on Mariner or Voyager in the next 2 months and see how many cruises you get onboard.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app I've been patiently waiting for Royal to release Asia cruises for late 2015 - early 2016. Still waiting.... and as you point out, many of the cruises that have been released are not available. We will be travelling after Legend has repo'd to BNE in Nov '15. We will go ahead book on Sapphire Princess to Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand if they aren't released soon. Are you listening Royal? On a brighter note, we have booked a Southern Caribbean cruise on Serenade in 2016 and the Legend repo from Ensenada to HNL next May. :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancinman66 Posted July 21, 2014 #3009 Share Posted July 21, 2014 As far as I know most are Fully chartered and to get on them you would have to go through that particular charter company They do have a number of cruises that English speaking can book though Most are Heading quickly to charter though Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekzaadvakil Posted July 21, 2014 #3011 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Wow, thanks. I'm actually Australian, but don't speak Chinese either! :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Whoa! No English would be a deal-breaker for us Indians too. While sailings out of China and Singapore are much closer than Europe and the USA, there's no sense in cruising on a ship where English isn't the primary language spoken. I thought there may be 2 languages, English and Mandarin spoken on Asian cruises. I better check this before booking on Quantum from China.
