locheeceltic Posted January 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hard to believe no sailings scheduled yet for Jan - March 2017 ... Anyone know when they will be available ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted January 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) They won't become available. No ships in South America during that time. Celebrity has a ship down there though. Edited January 1, 2016 by OfTheSeasCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbird1 Posted January 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 1, 2016 They won't become available. No ships in South America during that time. Celebrity has a ship down there though. So that is one reason the Celebrity ship is so expensive. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted January 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Last night at RIO showed some signs of maybe why they pulled out. Of the 10 ships off the coast at the Copacabana Beach you had 4 MSC ships (all with the front line position), 2 Costa ships, Sovereign and Empress from Pullmantur along with the Crystal Symphony and Rhapsody. Royal had given some insight publicly to not being too happy with some of the port authorities of South America and their compliance in making upgrades to the ports and related issues. I am not sure how competitive the market became, given that RCL pulled both the Empress back to RCI and sent Rhapsody back to the US market. The move of Splendour out of the fleet also left them a ship down that they could maybe do better with in another market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
