OfTheSeasCruiser Posted February 24, 2015 #576 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Brilliance of the Seas was booked 2 times in Geiranger 2016,now is both cancelled.... Interesting... Yesterday, I tracked Brilliance throughout the British Isles. It appears she will be doing a few of those cruises throughout 2016. Not sure how reliable the sites I'm working off of are (Links below. Does anyone know if the Le Havre one is reliable?), but so far I've found traces of Brilliance in Harwich, Le Havre, Liverpool, Portland, and Bilbao This is a partial itinerary I've put together based on my research: Jul 11 - Harwich Jul 12 - Le Havre Jul 13/14? - Liverpool Jul 15 - Dublin ? ? ? That's all I could track down so far, but I'm seeing a few other Brilliance calls at Le Havre (https://www.havre-port.com/liste/2077/escales-croisieres), and two other ones in Dublin (http://www.dublinport.ie/information-centre/cruise-liners/), which suggests a few other British Isles cruises.

Ken at the beach Posted February 24, 2015 #577 Share Posted February 24, 2015 That slide on Harmony just screams PC. Maybe when she leaves Barcelona in the fall I would agree. There will be 2 new ships coming to Florida in the fall of 2016. Ovation (or possibly Anthem, but I think she will stay in Bayonne) and Harmony. to would make sense to split them up and not have them both at the same port.

Mousy Posted February 24, 2015 #578 Share Posted February 24, 2015 From you all can see and figure out (or guess) is Navigator staying in FLL and doing the 6/8 itineraries? What about Allure is it doing 7 east/west? I hate this guessing game and I am trying to plan our anniversary vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaRob Posted February 24, 2015 #579 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's just a waiting game now, looking at late 16 for Panama Canal and southern caribbean out of SJ early 16? Not sure if AoS will still be in SJ and would skip southern to do a new ovation or harmony in 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipfriend_max Posted February 24, 2015 #582 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Brilliance of the Seas was booked 2 times in Geiranger 2016,now is both cancelled.... Can you tell me for which dates? And is she also booked for other Norwegian ports in 2016, such as Bergen, for example? Than maybe Brilliance in fact will do British Isles instead of Norway. And: any other RCI ships listed for Norway in 2016?? [emoji5]️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see Ovation sailing Europe in summer before sailing from Florida in fall? I would not exclude the fact that she might already sail from Florida in summer...

Rare Ethanol95 Posted February 24, 2015 #584 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looks like Quantum will be sailing China and switching to Australia. Hmm... Exotics (Perhaps more south east asian ports?). Look forward to seeing these new itineraries. BUT THE WAIT IS TOO LONG (with royal always delaying things)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff2802 Posted February 24, 2015 #585 Share Posted February 24, 2015 My money is on an Oasis class ship going to China as soon as they can swing it. Mine too. Deployment to include Singapore and maybe Australia during the northern winter. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that Harmony starts her maiden season in Europe (because of the UK RCI account releasing the name first) then I think Ovation could start in Florida first. Thoughts?

Thoughts? I perosnally see Ovation either sailing from Southampton (but increasingly unlikely, since Independence otS is listed in many European ports for 2016), or, pretty more likely, the 7 night runs from Ft. Lauderdale, on which Independence is operating in 2015. So IMHO the following scenario could occur: -Harmony: April -Oct --> Med from Barcelona; after that TA and Caribbean from FL or PC -Allure: Caribbean from FL (Sunday dep.) -Oasis: Caribbean from PC? Switching to Asia in fall, when Harmony is coming to Florida?? -Ovation: Caribbean from FL (Saturday dep., replace Oasis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji5]️ 21.08 and 29.08 2016 was Brilliance booked but as i told they are now cancelled..... There was also 2 booked in Bergen 19.08 and 27.08.2016 who i guess was Brilliance they are also cancelled.

Here's what I see for the Q / Oasis class Summer 2016 Quantum - China Anthem - Bayonne Ovation - Southampton Harmony - Barcelona Oasis - Port Canaveral Allure - FLL Winter 2016 Quantum - China Anthem - Bayonne Ovation - FLL Harmony - Port Canaveral Oasis - FLL Allure - FLL Spring 2017 Oasis or Allure to Barcelona Ovation to Southampton Winter 2017 Same as winter 2016 Spring 2018 Oasis class ship to Asia when Oasis 4 is launched.

JasonV1 Posted February 24, 2015 #591 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Re: the deployment schedule. Does "winter" include Carib NYE (or is NYE released in the first batch of Carib listed)? I can't remember. I assume the former, which sucks as I'm onboard a cruise the week before that schedule drops and wanted to book NYE 2016. I don't like using the cruise later onboard bookings since they are non refundable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically everything from the repositioning cruises onwards. NYE would definitely be winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted February 24, 2015 #593 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If Harmony sailed a season in Europe when she debuts then they would have to do it without all the plants in Central Park wouldn't they ? Would they really want to launch their newest ship and show her to the world...with Central Park being rather bare ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not due to be launched till 2'nd quarter so the weather would be no different than what the Allure will experience this year. The big question is if the plants that they want are available in Europe or perhaps they will ship them over from the US and either install them at the shipyard or in Barcelona.

I expect Allure will have her plants removed before dry dock and then replaced when she gets back to FLL. I am sure I read somewhere that plants cannot be taken to the USA from Europe.

Yes from what I recall and was on the OASIS TA only the plants in the living wall were removed, the wall painted green and then put back. This drydock was in the fall for Oasis and Allure will be in the spring in a more favorable climate Cadiz Spain as opposed to Rotterdam Edited February 24, 2015 by emmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This drydock was in the fall for Oasis and Allure will be in the spring in a more favorable climate Cadiz Spain as opposed to Rotterdam Thought so. As long as the plants are not subjected to a freeze most should be fine. They might lose a couple but I can't see removing all of them. Still leaves what they are doing with Harmony up in the air quite possibly due to regulations about importation of plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall with OASIS the plantings for Central Park all took place in Fort Lauderdale right after her transatlantic journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I didn't take much notice of what they did when Oasis went for dry dock but I do remember somewhere reading that because of pests/bugs/whatever, then they could not put new plants on the ship in Europe and take them over to the USA.
