Deployment 2018-19 booking season begins

[internetwhiz]

No Europe at all? Or no Symphony Europe sailings?

Thanks everyone are we thinking the TA will be similar to Harmony with very few ports ? I loved Harmony but my hubby missed the ports of the Caribbean he's pushing for a long southern Caribbean itinerary for next November I feel like I should maybe let him have his way as I picked Alaska for June and my 30th birthday [emoji849]

The TA is mostly likely from Civitavecchia so at least Palma, Barcelona, and Malagá are an option for the TA

Correction to my prior post. Symphony will be the only Caribbean deployment this week. All other year round sailings will be next week.

Also, the Deployment flyer has been a updated a little:

"Year Round Caribbean" has been pushed to the week of 3/13.

 

Week of 3/6 now lists Europe (Phase 1) and Caribbean (Phase 1).

 

So I'd say we will see some Europe and Symphony this week, with the rest of the year round Caribbean coming next week, and then seasonal Caribbean coming the week of 3/27.

 

I'm just crossing my fingers that Phase 1 of Europe is not just Symphony.

 

 

Makes me think that one year they kept pushing back until the last dates weren't out til 1st week on May... Was up lot of nites but I still got my aft cabins! Sure it won't be that bad this yr except for trying figure all new cabin Cat's...

Thank you to everyone that posted updates and some the new photos and flyers. Very good information to help start some plans. Any Idea when the Symphony TA sailing will be released? Is it going to be this week? Possible Itinerary? Thanks again everyone here.

What is Caribbean Phase 1?

Dowe know if Anthem is still going to do the 5 night Bermuda and 9 night Canada/New England itineraries in 2018 out of Cape Liberty?

[Wanna Be Retired]

Well she won't be there year-round, but she could always return to TX after her season in the Med.

 

 

My TA says they keep trying to tell Royal that if they put it in Galveston they can fill it but I guess they don't listen. I am going on Vision in November just because I want to see what a different ship is like!

Not for sure, but we should know in a week or so.

We booked for spring break 2018, it's cheap enough to squeeze an extra trip in without giving up our summer vacation, whereas the 7 nights are always just that bit too much. Even if it's a different ship, I hope they'll keep the 4/5 nights going.

In spite of being Diamond + I do not receive announcements of cruises to open bookings. Get my info here usually. Are you thinking of another TA Karen? Sure would be fun to cruise with you again.

Help!! What's the difference in "Caribbean sailings" and Seasonal Caribbean sailings?" I'm waiting for the 2018-2019 Vision sailings from Galveston and I'm not sure which on these include that. :confused:

Caribbean sailings are in 3 sets.

 

1st set is Symphony

2nd set is Caribbean year round (ships sailing all year

3rd set us seasonal (ships only sailing part of the year yo the Caribbean)

 

Vision would be in the 3rd set opening at the end of March

Some ships sail the Caribbean year-round and some are only there part of the year. My assumption is that "Caribbean sailings" is the former and "Seasonal Caribbean sailings" is the latter.

So no details on the Europe sailings?

 

 

 

We were told on Sunday by 'Next Cruise' on Adventure that Europe would come out in 4 days.

The German site says it leaves on the 4th and id home ported in Barcelona. Its booked into Palma on the 5th. I read it as the Ta would start from Barcelona

Rome will probably be for inter porting.

For those that didn't get the email

 

 

 

 

Feeling totally out of the loop down here! So much conversation happens while we are all fast asleep Downunder :D

 

Didn't know there was such a thing as emails to CAS members either :o I do get the 'day before' email sale messages.

 

So I went to sign in to my account to see if I could see these new stateroom categories and I find I cannot even sign in :mad:

 

It seems they don't like the username and password I have always used and have checked the 'remember me' box! Not happy! Have asked for the 'forgot password' email - nothing has arrived. Ah I forgot everyone in the States is currently asleep. So maybe the staff member will come to work tomorrow and answer my request while I'm asleep:rolleyes:

 

Will have to call Royal here and goodness knows where that will get me. Maybe I'll make a post somewhere else :confused: That may elicit an answer.

Just called and was told it will be within the next few days. At least he had heard the name Symphony.

The flyer states 9am but that looks like that's Miami time. 2pm Uk time.

Just don't go to bed and keep watching here. It will appear on Cc before it appears on any Royal site

[CRUISEBOY305]

What is Caribbean Phase 1?

 

 

Phase 1 will be symphony out of Miami

Yes, the TA will most likely be from Barcelona, since the TA is a 13 night sailing.
