EpcotBill Posted July 6, 2015 #26 Share Posted July 6, 2015 True, but looks bigger picture. PC now has a weekend ship for summer 2016. With free internet and slides. :D I wonder if internet will really be free. This is a quote from the email I got this morning from Royal; "The ship will also feature VOOM, the only high speed Internet at sea — included for all our guests starting May 2016 to enjoy connectivity that lets them surf, stream and share on their cruise." It says it's included but it doesn't say free. I think they might just mean that it's available...for a fee. It would be nice if it is free.

That's the same info that is in the link provided in my post #1. "Voom, the fastest internet at sea, will be available free and unlimited exclusively for guests on Majesty of the Seas to stay connected, brag about their vacation to friends and family, stream their favorite movies and music, and enjoy popular online video gaming".

Well it's almost the same. In the link you provided it does say free. In the email I got it never uses the word free. Maybe when they wrote the email they just forgot to mention free. I'm just being overly cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare eroller Posted July 6, 2015 #31 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm expecting an announcement regarding ENCHANTMENT OF THE SEAS as well regarding upgrades. She will be taking over from MAJESTY in Miami and will compete head-on with NORWEGIAN SKY, which NCL recently announced will become all-inclusive beginning in January 2016.

LuckiStac13*Majesty* Posted July 6, 2015 #32 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Anyone know why they're moving her to PC? Just wondering why they're not keeping her in Miami...been there since the early 90's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted July 6, 2015 #34 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Anyone know why they're moving her to PC? Just wondering why they're not keeping her in Miami...been there since the early 90's! I was wondering that myself. Apparently they would rather have Enchantment in Miami. Maybe it has something to do with the stop at Key West.

It's probably good to change things up every now and then, and ENCHANTMENT to Miami is definitely considered an upgrade over MAJESTY. The short cruise market out of Miami is an important one, and much bigger than Port Canaveral or Tampa. With NORWEGIAN SKY becoming all-inclusive in 2016, Royal Caribbean has to up their game to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't know for sure until itineraries are published, but I believe KW is farther than they want to (or can) go from Port Canaveral. With regard to the 4 day Bahamas run, my guess is KW will be limited to whatever ship is sailing from Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted July 6, 2015 #38 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Don't cancel yet,Grady......they will offer us something,for our troubles. But of course! :D We've gotta rebook three cruises now, it'd be nice to get something for the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalDiamond Posted July 6, 2015 #40 Share Posted July 6, 2015 We had the "last 4" cruises booked on Majesty. We also will scrap those! I do enjoy Majesty, but would rather sail on it when I need a "quick fix" and a short cruise. No need to spend 2 weeks on it in April now. We'll find something else.

Rare orville99 Posted July 6, 2015 #43 Share Posted July 6, 2015 While the summer itineraries for Majesty haven't been published yet, Rhapsody has disappeared from November's list, and Majesty now has the November 2016 through April 2017 PC schedule up on line (that was Rhapsody's schedule last week. We were going to take the summer of 2016 off from cruising. Oh well, back to the drawing board.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFidgetpants Posted July 6, 2015 #44 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Great. Majesty is a beautiful ship and we have enjoyed sailing this ship before. Wonder where the new restaurants go. I am guessing 75% of the Viking Crown Lounge will be restaurants now like some other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted July 6, 2015 #45 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Anyone ever hear of this Voom internet? Google doesn't show much except a satellite cable provider that hasn't really worked well. Given the area where this ship will be sailing, it might work well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenfever Posted July 6, 2015 Author #49 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks. I just looked and the Rhapsody TA from Rome to Port Canaveral on 27 Oct 2016 is N/A now. I just looked and it says Sold Out.:eek: Looks like you're stuck with us on the Brilliance TA.:p Edited July 6, 2015 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted July 6, 2015 #50 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Pricing for the first MJ out of PC is not cheap:eek::eek: The last RH to book(before she comes to Tampa) is Oct 17th.....the next one(the TA is now closed--meaning they are probably figuring all this out)......then nothing showing in NOV...........nothing till Dec 10th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
