Rare Ethanol95 Posted March 14, 2015 #1551 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) IMHO that would make sense, since she is already based at Singapore, and to reposition her between Dubai and Singapore would not be such a huge effort, IMHO - repos between Europe and Dubai are much more time-consuming, I think. And Vision might go to South America than, and Ovation possibly taking over Mariner's itineraries... Don't think so. If not Ovation would have been under ROW instead of China. But wouldn't two of them up there have similar itineraries since they are the same size and all? That also means that Singapore is not going to have a year round based ship,which was promised by Goldstein Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 14, 2015 by Ethanol95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptSticky Posted March 14, 2015 #1552 Share Posted March 14, 2015 If Victoria is the end of the cruise, the PVSA does not apply. Yes, of coarse. I always hesitate to comment on your posts because you are always correct, but I thought I read that you were talking about a cruise that started in one US port and ended in another. Please forgive me if I was reading incorrectly:rolleyes: Next time I will hesitate before hitting the enter key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted March 14, 2015 #1553 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) They might be re-scheduling the RH TA sailing now. She is booked at Funchal on the 12 of November, but appears to be leaving Rome on the 27th of October now, but still unsure. Either way, RH could be back at PC for Bahamas as early as the 7th of November or the 21st of November at the latest. EN moves directly in April 2016 to Miami for 3/4 day Bahamas. thanks for that info...when do bookings open up for those Bahamas cruises? Same as the Winter Caribbean ones?

That also means that Singapore is not going to have a year round based ship,which was promised by Goldstein I was talking about MARINER here, not OVATION... [emoji5] - and Mariner is listed at the ROW deployment. ;) But I also could imagine that mariner does Australia/NZ itineraries, we will see soon... BTW: Now the reamining calls for Anthem in Europe in spring 2016 (Le Havre and Gibraltar) really make sense to me, they might be placeholder for Ovation. Ovation for sure, when she will be sent to China, must do a Western Europe cruise (most likely from Southampton), and than passing Mediterranean and Suez Canal, and than heading to Dubai and Singapore. I am quite sure she will sail very similar itineraries as Quantum in 2015, when repositioning from Europe to Far East... [emoji5] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgoddess1 Posted March 14, 2015 #1556 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Hypothetically, what would the itinerary of a round trip out of San Diego look like? SD/LA - SundaySan Francisco - Monday PM until Tuesday PM Victoria - Thursday SD/LA Sunday Similar to the swine flu cruise. They advertised an overnight in San Francisco...but it would seem unlikely that they would burn that much fuel just for one stop. Although I would book this. Otherwise it would only be as far north as San Francisco, then sail back to Ensenada. I can't see them tendering in Santa Barbara or Monterey with a ship of this size, so they could stop in LA if based in San Diego (or vice versa). Solstice did tender here in Monterey a year (or so) ago, I heard it was a bit 'messy'. I wouldn't do this trip again. While Exlorer is getting retrofitted with tender boats in Cadiz dry dock, it would indeed be a messy tendering. We've also done Mexico cruises out of San Diego (on both Grandeur and Radiance), so that is still an option. (Princess is now going to all 3 ports that RCI used to visit.) Don't discount the possibility of a southbound itinerary. :) Edited March 14, 2015 by travelgoddess1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't discount the possibility of a southbound itinerary. :) Over the last few days, I have thought that they might run the coastals out of Seattle roundtrip, as infrastructure is already in place. Based on the press release, I don't believe this will run into Mexico (although I would prefer this). I have asked a friend to check on cruises that have started/ended in Victoria. I would like a trans-pacific on Explorer, but will not sail out of Ensenada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the price -- I could sail out of Ensenada again if the price were right. It would have to be very right, however. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted March 14, 2015 #1563 Share Posted March 14, 2015 RCI do not mention South America in today's deployment email, but do confirm Dubai deployment. Exotic destinations Cruise beyond boundaries with new adventures in Australia, Dubai and Asia debuting in April. RCI seem to imply that only Harmony of the Seas Europe sailings are included in the March 17th C&A preview sale. This may include the TA, of course.

MADflyer Posted March 14, 2015 #1565 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hope the Ta is included. Maybe Jewel to Dubai I think Harmony TA will be included at least. Jewel seems to have been confirmed back to San Juan and TA looks to be in October and maybe in San Juan from 20th October. Adventure seems to enter dry dock when Jewel returns during late October to November. Vision is booked through end of November at Venice, most likely moves to Dubai. Might be hope for Mariner from east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's astonishing that South America is missing! :eek: Than I am quite sure that Vision seems to sail Dubai/Emirates during winter period - also Mariner was listed among 'Rest of World'/Exotic destinations, apart from Asia - maybe she is doing Australia/NZ as well in 2016/17?? Jewel otS seems to be confirmed for San Juan, open for booking by somewhere in April... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flyer lists China as a specific deployment area rather than Asia generally. So ROW includes Asia ex-China and therefore Mariner may well operate from Singapore year round. Having said that we'd welcome her in Australia to join her sisters Voyager and Explorer any time!
