OfTheSeasCruiser Posted February 19, 2018 #1451 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm hoping the 5th Quantum class ship(2nd Quantum-Ultra class) replaces Anthem in Bayonne year round by 2020. Anthem will be going on 5 years in Bayonne since 2015. I think I read Quantum 5 is due to sail in fall 2020, so maybe she makes her way to Bayonne at that point. Here is a very early guess, but it is fun to speculate. Anthem heads to Europe for a dry dock and Southampton summer season. Independence, with her new fancy features from her upcoming dry dock, heads to Bayonne for the summer. Quantum 5 arrives in Bayonne in the fall. Anthem heads to Florida in the fall, after her summer in Europe. Will be interesting to see the actual outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish that they kept Indy with Anthem out of Southampton, as Explorer will be 20 years old by 2020. At least the UK and Bayonne will get 2 good ships either way. What itineraries would Anthem do from Florida? I'm guessing that she could take on the 6/8NT itineraries, then EX or AD could do the 10/11 Southern itineraries which would allow Serenade to replace Grandeur in Baltimore. Either GR or RH will probably retire by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo If Royal follows the same plan as this year, you'll see some fall 2020 itineraries coming out in Nov/Dec 2018, with remaining deployment coming in Spring 2019.

I hope it's before November 28th 2018, I have a cruise where the final payment is due that day and I want to move it to another date in the fall of 2020. I don't want have to pay $ 100 per person change fee more then once to make the switch. Jimbo:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted February 19, 2018 #1460 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I could imagine a Quantum Class ship doing the 6/8 nighters from Port Everglades or the 9/5 nighters from Miami. For such “sunny weather” cruises imho RCI has other ships, like Freedom, Voyager or Oasis Class. And they’re deployed on those cruises as one can see. Quantum Class ships are reserved for destinations with more mixed climate conditions, such as Northeast, Canada/NE or Alaska. Actually due to their construction they’d also fit for Northern Europe such as Fjords or Baltic, but some ports have size restrictions.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Fair points, but the same can be said about Radiance Class, and 3 of the 4 of them spend a lot of time in the Caribbean. Anthem was actually supposed to do 6/8 nighters from Fort Lauderdale (spending the other half of the year in Southampton), prior to Quantum getting redeployed to China: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/os-royal-caribbean-anthem-of-the-seas-port-everglades-20131125-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a impulse decision with Mariner as it was after a lot of cruises had been released when they released Mariner.

Thorben-Hendrik Posted February 20, 2018 Author #1463 Share Posted February 20, 2018 To me the pending deployment of Spectrum, Explorer and Indy are of extreme interest!

She's not due for a dry dock until 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
