Non-refundable deposit.

Which we know is somewhat of a misnomer...as for reserving with that lower fare category...RCI actually keeps $100 in the event of a cancellation (prior to 75 days) and allows the remainder of the deposit amount to be used as a deposit on a future cruise.

With a one-year time limit.

Yup...thanks for adding that Bob. :D

 

It certainly reduces any risk in the event needing to make a change. Considering the price difference at booking time, it's a good choice for many folks.

[Manymice]

Please help me understand the situation regards ships in Asia. Mariner will be coming to the U.S., Voyager apparently is moving to Europe, who knows what is happening to Quantum. That leaves Spectrum, once released. Who they have Spectrum, Ovation and Quantum all in the Far East? What ship will handle S.E.Asia?. I'm so confused.

Tid bits may be learned over the next few months but we won't know for sure till next March when itineraries come out.

Allure - Port Canaveral Summer? then year round

Oasis - return in November for Port Everglades year-round.

Voyager bookings may be Quantum the world cruise and MED season may actually be Quantum and not Voyager.

Voyager - after September - Dubai? then Sydney/Singapore?

[MADflyer]

Port Schedules for Key West indicate that Vision will return from Barcelona Deployment to New Orleans for the Winter Season 2019 - 2020.

[MADflyer]

RCL appears to have more ships in the MED for the late summer season, with Brilliance moving to the MED from Amsterdam for a 2 month season, returning to Tampa with Rhapsody just prior to Thanksgiving 2019.

 

Voyager or Quantum appear to have a late summer/fall season in the MED prior to sailing most likely eastbound toward Dubai, Singapore or Sydney.

[Hoopster95]

Mariner, China, Shanghai / Singapore.

 

Mariner in Miami until at least May 3, 2019... unless you feel Mariner is heading back around the world to Asia after a season doing the Bahamas

Thanks. There are going to be even more mistakes as this was just first addition and there are several missed updates.

Where did you see Adventures’ confirmation for Bayonne (Cape Liberty) in the summer/fall season 2019?

I usually browse the Portland/Maine Cruise schedule and did not see any calls for 2019.

Further I do not find any other port schedules for East Coast USA/Canada that show any 2019 calls...

Based prediction on Cayman port schedules at the moment. All predictions subject to change as usual.

[Ken at the beach]

Enchantment is in Galveston from June 2018 through April 2019. Are you expecting a different ship to take her place?

 

Edit. Saw your update.

[mac_tlc]

I thought Allure was already posted as moving to Miami in November 2018 (through April 2019), with Harmony staying in Port Everglades?

I think has to do with Oasis in Europe for dry dock Summer 2019.

Port Canaveral will need a replacement Oasis ship.

Correct Allure moves to Miami in November 2018

Absolutely nothing on that list to make me want to cruise with RC in the Med. Time to start looking at MSC ;p

Among the landscape of cruise lines there’s sooooo many great choices! So of all cruise lines, don’t choose MSC, Mafia Shipping Company... [emoji33][emoji33]

They have limited port timings, overcrowded ships and you need to pay extra for every minor detail...

 

And we don’t know yet what RCI will offer in Med, so be patient... ;-)

Great summary, thanks.

 

Another thing to keep in mind... The new Brisbane cruise terminal project is progressing and the plan is to have it completed in the 2019/2020 cruise season.

https://www.portbris.com.au/PortBris/media/General-Files/Factsheets%20and%20brochures/17-04-10-Media-statement-Cruise.pdf

 

Royal is a financial contributor to the project so they will deploy a ship or two there (one from Royal and one from Celebrity perhaps?). IFrom the Royal fleet my guess is either Radiance or a Voyager class ship. I would expect the dock and terminal to be big enough to cater for Quantum class, allowing a few cruises to be added between the Sydney and Asia deployments.

 

In Sydney, Royal is still holding 23 slots in the port calendar for Voyager of the Seas over the 2019/2020 season. I think they will use some of these for Quantum and cancel the remainder. I don't think Voyager will return to Sydney given the discounting we've seen.

The number of new cruise terminals planned around the globe is incredible.

 

I think one ship will be destined for the winter season in Dubai.

 

I think one of the most interesting developments at the moment is that the lines appear to be looking at having ships do mini-seasons at smaller home ports. This could be interesting for Dublin, Lisbon, Malaga and many other areas with good flight connections.

The odds of the Oasis running to Europe on the TA with no passengers must be high.
