pspercy Posted April 6, 2015 #2126 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I don't remember everything I've read here but I'm wondering about 2016 Panama Canal transits - if there will even be any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted April 6, 2015 #2127 Share Posted April 6, 2015 It appears on port schedules that Rhapsody has now been re-deployed to take the place of Jewel of the Seas. Rhapsody appears to take the longer Venice sailings originally planned for Jewel. Jewel has been removed today from Dubrovnik port schedules. Rhapsody's call at Palma prior to a TA has been cancelled and Jewel is still scheduled at Palma and Gibraltar for calls when entering the MED in May. This is just developing and it is unclear whether Jewel goes to Rome or not. There is a risk that the itineraries at Cruisecal for ships not yet deployed are inaccurate as that site has not updated RCI cruises for several weeks now.

This might be why the Rhapsody TA has not shown up on Royal's website, as opposed to some of the other ships that are now showing fall 2016 TAs. They just don't have it all nailed down yet.

Ken at the beach Posted April 6, 2015 #2129 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I dont see Jewel doing it either, I think there is only one cruise on April 15th. Other than that no more Aruba. The Navigators 9 day sailings all call on Aruba for winter 2016/2107. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinderek Posted April 6, 2015 #2130 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I saw that, And wouldnt you know. All of those sailings are on dates that the DW and I cant get away. I guess I will put off Aruba for now and hope the dates for something else work, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't have it all nailed down yet. Yes. While Funchal shows a Rhapsody call on November 12th on a TA, the November 1st date that appeared on CruiseCal was never booked there. Rhapsody appears to sail from Venice the last time in mid-October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiiergirl Posted April 6, 2015 #2132 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I was looking at Cruisecal and it looks like RCI is not doing the Aruba route out of San Juan in 2017. Is it possible that Cruisecal is wrong??? AD is doing in Nov/Dec 2016. AD Jan-April not listed for any itinerary yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted April 6, 2015 #2134 Share Posted April 6, 2015 If this is the case what route would Jewel be doing then? Eastern MED ports for the most part do not report this far out and it is difficult to know whether Jewel takes over the Rhapsody sailings from Rome or not. Jewel is only booked now entering the MED at Gibraltar on the 10th of May and Palma on the 14th of May. Rome has not been updated, so it is impossible to know what is happening there.

SherriZ366 Posted April 7, 2015 #2137 Share Posted April 7, 2015 OR maybe RCL is still deciding whether to bring it over to PC earlier to replace the EN when she goes to South Florida in April. (One can only hope;) Hope this is what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelgoddess1 Posted April 7, 2015 #2140 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was looking at Cruisecal and it looks like RCI is not doing the Aruba route out of San Juan in 2017. Is it possible that Cruisecal is wrong??? We are doing a 9-day Navigator cruise in 2017 that stops in Aruba. I believe some Serenade sailings might also have Aruba as a port of call. I don't remember everything I've read here but I'm wondering about 2016 Panama Canal transits - if there will even be any? Unless a Radiance or Vision Class ship is redeployed from the Caribbean to do Alaska, it is doubtful there will be any PC cruises for 2016.

Marylandteachergirl Posted April 7, 2015 #2142 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I am really hoping for an all British Isles cruise - England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales. RCI has done them in the past - 10 or 12 nights, but not recently. If not offered, are there any suggestions for alternative lines? The only other I can find is Princess. We've only sailed with RCI, so I would prefer to stay with them, but really want an all UK cruise. Thanks for any suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted April 7, 2015 #2143 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was looking at Cruisecal and it looks like RCI is not doing the Aruba route out of San Juan in 2017. Is it possible that Cruisecal is wrong??? RCI had released deployment for both Jewel and Adventure from San Juan, but I notice they did not open all the Adventure sailing for sale.

The date I want is on here but it's interesting only every other week Jan-April is on here for Adventure. Maybe that is the hold up getting final itinerary for the opposite weeks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI did not include British Isle sailings in their 2016 summer European deployment. You have Azamara, Celebrity, Princess, Holland America, Cunard, P&0, Silversea, Seabourn, Hapag-Lloyd and Fred Olsen lines among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not want to go out with itineraries if all the contracts for each call are not confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Queen Elizabeth in June from Southampton. This are are the best option I have found for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted April 7, 2015 #2148 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Jewel to Rome? Now that would be an interesting development! I hope they reschedule Jewel to Northern Europe as currently options to Norway, Island and British Isles are not that many in summer 2016. Just Serenade for Norway.

I am waiting for a Greek Isle cruise out of Rome and was expecting Rhapsody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
