AtlantaCruiser72 Posted May 27, 2015 #2576 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sorry if I'm missing something, but I thought it was just the four ships (Voyager/Explorer/Radiance/Legend) sailing in the Australia region for the regular Aussie summer, plus Ovation making a few visits as part of a shortened AU season. Adventure is no where to be seen in the Australian heading of the 2016-2017 deployment document. I've cropped the relevant parts and turn it into an image (click to make bigger): [attach]350484[/attach] Someone else had listed Adventure and without thinking I included her too. She is confirmed for San Juan for winter 2016/17. Sorry for any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for any confusion. No worries :) Fingers crossed there are some more Aussie itineraries with overnight stops - they are great! The Explorer transpacific crossing for 2016 with the Hawaii and Fiji overnight stops is tempting ... but only one cruise per year max for this cruiser :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Explorer transpacific crossing for 2016 with the Hawaii and Fiji overnight stops is tempting ... but only one cruise per year max for this cruiser :) With Azamara having overnights as it's unique selling point and with Celebrity re-deploying many sailings last week to include overnight Caribbean call additions, the time may be coming for more RCI overnight calls in the near future. The itineraries I have seen for Australia do not seem to include them for this season unless they appear with Ovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgoddess1 Posted May 27, 2015 #2579 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Voyager and Radiance itineraries are now out for 2016, including Radiance to Hawaii on September 9. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robynwally Posted May 27, 2015 #2583 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hey Cruisegroover, Thanks for sharing. Did they provide any specific information about the itineraries? Are there any new ports, for example in Tonga or Fiji? Anything new that might be of interest? Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Hi Geoff, Just booked Radiance from Sydney to Auckland with two ports in Tonga Looks like only one cruise with these ports though :( Robyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like an interesting itinerary. I've placed a courtesy hold on the cruise - cruise prices seem very reasonable. Airfare, for us anyway, will be another story. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted May 28, 2015 #2585 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It looks like they have decided against the shorter sailings from Barcelona in May 2016 and are now adding a sailing from London as the current first sailing for Harmony. The Vigo and Malaga stops had been mentioned in Spanish press in March.

harz99 Posted May 28, 2015 #2586 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Hi Geoff, Just booked Radiance from Sydney to Auckland with two ports in Tonga Looks like only one cruise with these ports though :( Robyn Thanks for that. Pretty much the only other cruises that go to those ports are Paul Gauguin ones, and they are way to expensive for me. With the current BOGHO offer in both the US and OZ there are some pretty good prices for a short time. We managed to switch an Allure booking made on Radiance early this year under the new onboard T&Cs to this sailing, so are really pleased!:D Date of cruise is 3rd Dec 2016 for 13 nights. HTH.

MADflyer Posted May 28, 2015 #2588 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It's not up on the US site.... The sailing is not open for sale yet. It was mentioned at a Cruise Line International Association event in the UK over the weekend. It will be partially open for public bookings, but will also host a trade event in Europe. The ship appears to get into Barcelona on the 5th and does not do a first public sailing until the 7th when there will be a 5 night sailing. The first full Barcelona sailing will remain the one open on the 12th June, 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted May 28, 2015 #2590 Share Posted May 28, 2015 How come there is no Hawaii April 2017 cruise? While it would seem there will be a May 5, 2017 Honolulu to Vancouver sailing on Radiance, they have not released the sailing. They could do so at any time or with Ovation or even in the worst case leave it for the next deployment season. They have not released the Explorer April 22, 2017, 23 night Sydney to Seattle sailing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not official until RCI release the sailing for public sale, the preliminary sailing booked for Explorer in 2017 is for a second year of Seattle deployment. Explorer in 2016 has been re-deployed from original Singapore deployment to Seattle deployment for Alaska sailings. These are full Transpacific sailings and do not allow segments from Hawaii to Seattle.

[emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I have not seen the May 2016 two week gap officially announced as a dry dock yet. As Radiance was one of the first ships to be revitalized in May/June of 2011, she would be due for some of the necessary certifications to be renewed at that time though. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/contentSitelet.do?pagename=revitalizations This list might only show 'enhancements' and the Radiance dry dock might be just a refresh and mechanical dry dock.

Thanks MADflyer. That sounds right; mandatory certifications, no major enhancements. Relatives of mine were on board recently and there were a few problems, mostly electrical. They would also use these two weeks to carry out any repairs that can't be done at sea or within a turnaround day.
