bigeck Posted December 12, 2017 #1001 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I admit I'm totally confused by all the recent moves and probably have it wrong. Bob Do you have a phone number for Usa that isn't the 1-800 one as we cant dial that from Uk and offices here are shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Royal international and they couldn't transfer a booking. Then they couldn't make a booking. Ended up putting a cabin on hold and will call tomorrow to get it released and re book it. She thought everyone is on the same time, didn; realise it was 10.30pm here in Scotland and Uk offices are shut for the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpostman Posted December 12, 2017 #1006 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I just saw today that Northern European cruises for 2019 are now on the RCCL website. Just booked a Baltic cruise for May 31, 2019. Been waiting for those and didn't expect to see them until spring. Got an awesome cabin! Might be new itineraries for other locations too - I've only been watching for the Baltic cruises. Same here, I was resigned to wait until spring but seen an email from RCI today stating itineraries for Europe and Baltics in 2019 and voilà. 20 minutes later I had our 25th Anniversary Baltic cruise for Aug 2019 booked... just in time for Christmas :D One extra envelope under the tree :) dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamato5girls Posted December 13, 2017 #1009 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ovation from Hawaii to Vancouver is open on the RC website BUT there are no suites at all. I'm not happy at all. Not only that, prices are much higher than what I was getting for a junior suite for 3 people. When I did a mock booking for an oceanview cabin, it was almost 7k and it's only for 11 nights! I had it for 9k for 23 nights. Guess I'm off to switch to another ship! Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but balconies are sold out for this sailing on the UK site and it was quoting me £4,914 ($6,558) for cruise only for solo occupancy for 11 nights!! By the time I would add on flights it would be my cruise budget for 3-4 years so it is a no from me!!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1011 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just noticed Vision's 2019 fall TA ends in Miami. Not returning to NOLA? Vision sailings out of NOLA appear to begin in December for a New Years sailing. The ship may do Trans-canal or something else prior to heading to NOLA.

MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1012 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I am not sure if it has already posted, but Explorer has been confirmed to Riviera Ports and Gibraltar and will most likely be the Southampton based ship. Norway bookings were already confirmed last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1013 Share Posted December 13, 2017 So it seems Oasis' dry dock will take place after her Med season, then she'll sail empty to MIA. It appears they will take her down to Cadiz in September - October and then return to Barcelona for a Transatlantic, sailing on October 27th from Barcelona via Malaga.

The ship may do Trans-canal or something else prior to heading to NOLA. Oh good. Seems like she'll probably do a couple Panama Canal cruises like she's doing in 2018. I am not sure if it has already posted, but Explorer has been confirmed to Riviera Ports and Gibraltar and will most likely be the Southampton based ship. Norway bookings were already confirmed last week. Thanks for the update. Wonder if she'll also take over for Navigator in Miami on the 9/5 itineraries.

Wonder if she'll also take over for Navigator in Miami on the 9/5 itineraries. With St. Maarten port not reporting any RCI ships after January 2019, it has been difficult to predict some moves. I had to relay for the most part on Key West and Cayman this year. I have not understood whether RCI will actually be operating their own port at St. Maarten or if it is just an administrative thing. Other cruise line bookings are showing at St. Maarten, but not RCI ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGP312 using Forums mobile app As the Eastbound Transatlantic is now confirmed on the deployment calendar for Phase I. Europe, it should be released at any moment this week. They have actually only cancelled port bookings for one week in September at this moment for the 22nd of September and they may alter additional sailings. These cruises will be released with Europe Phase II. along with Indy, Explorer and other ships. Any remaining deployment is slated for Spring of 2018. I would think around mid-March at the latest. http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2019_2020/2019_OA_Deployment_Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they might have released Eastbound TA yesterday with others as it appears on flyer. I'll keep checking ;-) We booked Rhapsody westbound yesterday but may change to Oasis once it's released B-) Sent from my SGP312 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailaway54321 Posted December 13, 2017 #1019 Share Posted December 13, 2017 We Just booked the Nov. TA on Rhapsody, could not resist the price and as a bounus we never seen the canary islands or been to CocoCay. Was wondering about doing a b2b but can't find any cruises between mid October and this sailing in Nov. Any idea about a possible itinerary?

Thanks, I suspect there will be a 7-day from Venice to Barcelona, but don't know when that will appear. There's about 3 weeks of cruises missing before the TA now.

MADflyer Posted December 13, 2017 #1021 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Rhapsody arrives at Barcelona on the 26th of October 2019. While there is a 7 night sailing on the 26th that I can piece together, I have not been able to figure out the sailing on the 2nd to 9th of November just prior to the TA sailing. This would most likely be another 7 night sailing offering B2B options and thinking a Rome/Naples/Sicily/ Valencia sailing maybe. Rhapsody 26 Oct sailing Barceona 27/28 Oct Sardinia or Sicily port and a Sea Day. 29 Oct Malta 31 Oct Ibiza 1 Nov Palma de Mallorca 2 Nov Barcelona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they are doing 3 European differentiated sailings prior to the TA that could be booked B2B2B with the TA. That would make for a great 35 day sailing.
