Deployment 2019-20 booking season begins

[handbellplayer]

I see the Panama Canal cruises in February/March 2019 on Jewel have been added. We were hoping that the November PC cruises would be repeated in 2019. Do the spring cruises mean there won't be any more RCCL PC cruises in 2019? We can't take long cruises in the Spring.

Regarding the fact that the remaining deployment is going to be released be early and mid of April, it’s possible to have Panama Canal cruises by late 2019 as well. ;)

Further the originally scheduled (October 2019) Transatlantic from Rome to San Juan on Jewel has been cancelled, could well be she is the candidate for Panama Canal cruises. Or Vision again.

It is a shame that Quantum class is considered to be aimed at Asian market. I love the Anthem because of Two 70 and Seaplex as well as Solarium cascading pool.

 

Do we really need 4 or eventually 5 Oasis class in USA. I mean Yawn zzzzzzz.

Don't think cancelled has been confirmed? Not listed currently but the most recent scenario I had seen was to Miami not San Juan, panama canal would be ok too for her

It hasn't been canceled, although the itinerary may be adjusted to Miami.

 

Jewel is still cruising in Europe through the end of October 2019. It still needs to do a TA.

Thanks - will wait for this release. We really want to take RCCL for this cruise, but may have to go with Celebrity on this one. At least we get reciprocal benefits. Sigh....at this rate, we'll never make D+

I would love to jump on both of those canal trips.

This is twice they have come out with PC cruises late in the release cycle and I already have something else at that time.

So what are we expecting to be release this week?

I totally agree, with RCCL posting there cruises so late in the season most people have already made plans for that time of the year and don't want to change them.

I would love to that the Jewel canal B2B but to do it I would have to cancel the last of a string of cruises on the Vision and fly from New Orleans to Miami to get to it. I would not mind but it would extend our trip from 42 days to about 68 and that would be a bit long. The other option would be to cancel 3 of our Vision trips and come home for a coupe weeks in between. Between extra flights and non refundable deposits that gets expensive.

:mad: We were hoping to book Oasis Westbound transatlantic fall 2019 but our travel agent just confirmed that plans are to finish the future Oasis dry dock on the way back to Florida instead of scheduling a transatlantic. So there will be no Oasis Transatlantic in Fall 2019.

Very dissapointing news for all of us waiting to book Oasis back to USA fall 2019. Now waiting for news on Jewel Westbound 2019. And hoping it will not be priced as crazy as the last released transatlantics:mad::mad::mad:

It’s canceled with no info where she is going. Redeployment couldn’t tell me anything re what they are doing with her. I do know I am weary of RC canceling cruises we have booked.

[springaussie]

Jewel could be a candidate for Brisbane.

If the new cruise terminal is not ready the cruise lines where hoping to use the mini facilities at the Grain Terminal as a temporary measure. The smaller the ship the easier this would be do.

Why cant they release all at the same time? I booked Explorer TA last week but if Dubai is in the mix....:rolleyes:

I don't think it will be. Nice thought but I can't see Dubai getting relaunched.

Explorer looks good with a nice change of ports.

I'm on Rhapsody, so if that gets cancelled I'm not sure what to do.

Explorer is a good option but also looked at Ovation in Alaska and Celebrity has some good options.

Vancouver to Yokohama or Barcelona to Buenos Aires would be a change

Surely they wont cancel both Jewel and Rhapsody TA in one season? That would be horrendous customer service!

[Beachammo]

That's the worst part about the cancellations and why it's easy to understand why people book backup cruises. By the time they cancel and inform you of the options, there can be very little choice on the price protected sailings, especially if the cruise is somewhat unusual, like a transatlantic.

Just changed my cancelled Jewel 2019 Spring TA backup to a 9 night Grandeur May 2019 Caribbean as my new backup.

 

Still have the Serenade TA as my first choice......[emoji41]
