WaveSplasher Posted May 14, 2018 #2501 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Surely they wont sail all the way to China empty...:mad: The ship is catered towards the China market. Maybe that's why Royal doesn't want to sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyren Posted May 14, 2018 #2502 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The ship is catered towards the China market. Maybe that's why Royal doesn't want to sell it That is exactly why we want to check it out while there is an opportunity for a couple of longer cruises on it's way to China.

toad455 Posted May 14, 2018 #2504 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Still very much rumours regarding a Quantum class from Southampton in 2020. Last I heard it would be Quantum herself based on her being released from Asia following the expected deployment of Spectrum into the same region........but hey maybe Cape Liberty needs a change in ship...... yeah, after being on the Anthem for the third time and Quantum once and having talked to several people on the cruise that have sailed her multiple times, we'd like a different ship out of Bayonne year round. I'm hoping the 5th-Quantum(2nd Quantum-ultra) class ship homeports out of Bayonne in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted May 14, 2018 #2505 Share Posted May 14, 2018 That will be subject to the 2020-21 thread. When the 2020-21 thread is up and running can someone please post the link on this thread? It took me a while to find this one when started!

MADflyer Posted May 15, 2018 #2507 Share Posted May 15, 2018 When the 2020-21 thread is up and running can someone please post the link on this thread? It took me a while to find this one when started! Thanking you in anticipation :D While RCI moved up Royal Caribbean releases for this season, they always have followed a pattern of first booking Azamara and then Celebrity sailings. Many times Azamara and Celebrity port bookings can give leads to regions and ports RCI are considering for Royal. As these threads should be heavily based on actual port bookings and not just on pure speculation, it is best for this thread to start when actual port bookings have started. This is usually September or October. For instance, right now Brilliance is booked for Grand Cayman in February of 2021. Royal had booked Liberty for 2 years at Galveston and have not yet booked 2020-21 sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love all the speculation but RCI always throws a curve ball in like Explorer coming back from Australia and Jewel going to Dubai! I would love a year round ship based in Malaga for the Winter!

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted May 22, 2018 #2513 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Random question...when Vision moves to San Juan in Dec 2019 is she going to be the permanent ship there or will it be Freedom? The reason I ask is that I read about Vision's power loss yesterday in the Med and I thought I must get to sail on Vision and Grandeur before they are sold off (I think Enchantment is safe for a while yet!) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted May 25, 2018 #2515 Share Posted May 25, 2018 So with Empress and Majesty sailings being announced what are we waiting on now...just Spectrum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted May 25, 2018 #2516 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyren Posted May 26, 2018 #2517 Share Posted May 26, 2018 And the longer we wait the more likely it is that it will sail empty. Grrrr My guess is that it will also be very expensive for a few seasons in China. Locals with $$$$ have a preference to be able to have/do/experience the latest trends etc. It is why designer goods, electronics, cars do so well in the market there. They will pay overs for the bragging rights (face). I also think that RCL are struggling to deal with the amount of complaints they get from non locals who book cruises out of China and then spend the whole cruise complaining about the local manners. As non local cruisers are a very small part of RCL revenue source on cruises from China it is just not worth the bother and they will fill the cabins with locals anyway.
