MindyJohn Posted January 11, 2018 #1201 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Come with us Mindy...we can do Diamond Hours together again! :D :wine-glass: I'm sure I would have a great time but I've deposited for trans-pacific options for spring 2019 and am really looking forward to it. We will no doubt meet again before too long - cheers to that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosby99 Posted January 13, 2018 #1202 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So still no concrete announcements for UK departure from 2019? Wouldn’t be surprised if RCCL pull out of the UK market altogether due to this Brexit nonsense Looks like it’s the inconvenience of short haul to Europe or Long Haul to US East Coast... Yay for living outside of London :-( Unlikely they have recently invested in the terminal and have a contract until 2023 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/14507785.Biggest_cruise_ship_in_the_world_leaves___200million_legacy_for_Southampton/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare printingchick Posted January 16, 2018 #1203 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I haven't check on this thread for a while. Any guesses regarding what other ship (besides Freedom) will cruise out of San Juan in the winter months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted January 19, 2018 #1205 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Is there still no clue which ships are coming to Southampton in 2019? The last guess was it was either Indy, Explorer, Voyager or possibly Quantum, :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe12 Posted January 19, 2018 #1206 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I think So'ton will be Explorer and Independence. Can imagine that they want it to be two familiar ships to the market (even Nav sailed from So'ton prior to Indy coming online). Would be happy with any of the above ships. Quantum may mix things up a bit, however EX and VY are still a little bit different to the Nav. I really wish that they would bring an Oasis Class to the UK for a full season one day, but the likelihood of that keeps slipping away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that will ever happen as the plants (nor the customers in inclement weather) in Central Park may not do well in UK weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe12 Posted January 19, 2018 #1208 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm not sure that will ever happen as the plants (nor the customers in inclement weather) in Central Park may not do well in UK weather. I did the Harmony's last Med sailing in mid-October 2016. There was a lot of rain on the last day but it didn't affect the cruise so much, nor the plants in CP. The Med, Caribbean and Atlantic can all be unpredictable with weather, especially towards the end of Europe seasons or during Hurricane seasons. All 3 O sisters have managed fine.

Biker19 Posted January 19, 2018 #1209 Share Posted January 19, 2018 All 3 O sisters have managed fine. Sure, in the Med, which is a lot different than UK. Ask anyone on a O class sailing when you have several days of poor weather forcing folks indoors - it's usually not a pretty sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted January 30, 2018 #1216 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Any ideas of Soiuthern Caribbean sailings from Florida during winter 2019/2020. For 2018 both Serenade and Navigator are doing the Southern Caribbean but in looking at the current deployment Navigator is not doing Southern in winter 2019. I haven't seen anything on Serenade past October 2019 either. Thanks for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything on Serenade past October 2019 either. Thanks for any feedback. I've been wondering this same thing. I'm hoping for some longer "seasonal" sailings from south Florida for the winter 2019/2020 period. There don't seem to be too many ships unaccounted for during that time period. The Independence stands out as one. I guess that schedule, if there is going to be one this time around, will open in late March/early April. Dan.

The seasonal Caribbean 19-20 itineraries are not available yet, including, Jewel, Brilliance, Serenade, Rhapsody, Indy, Navigator, Adventure, Anthem, Grandeur...probably forgot 1 or 2.

Thank you both for you feedback. I thought the initial likely ships would be Serenade and Navigator. However, Navigator has bookings of 3 and 4 Night Bahamas Cruises from Miami from winter 2019 thru April 2020. Just checked again online. At least that's what is currently on the RCI website. Anthem will more than likely stay in NJ even though it made its first port visit to Miami (maybe a test run or not). I don't think RCI is moving her anytime soon. I know, they have done some strange stuff before. I am hoping for a Radiance Class or Voyager Class out of Florida to the Southern Caribbean. So given your list of unaccounted for ships, the possibilities are then Jewel, Brilliance, Serenade or Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you mentioned, she is doing Bahamas cruises. Serenade has a repo ending in Fort Lauderdale that is already available, so she'll more than likely do the 10/11 nighters again. I would put money that whatever ship is replacing Navigator in Southampton for the summer (looking like Explorer last time I checked) will probably take over the 9/5 nighters from Miami that go to the ABCs.
