You still have to deal with 6500 people, which won't be very much fun if it's too cool for the pool deck outside.

 

We have about 1600 sqft of our own private world to enjoy.  Looking forward to the cool March weather.  We'll pack accordingly.

Here is an article dated Jan 16, 2019 in which Bayley reveals a little more information about the forthcoming "Perfect Day" islands, notably that there will be one "off the coast of Australia" and another separate island somewhere in Asia.  The article also states that he "hinted" that Spectrum 2 will sail from Barcelona.

Funny as Harmony was our worst TA. It's just too many people trying to cram into too small venues.

 

We did like the extra restaurants plus the sister sailing on the last day though.

Short and long Caribbean cruises where ships are only there seasonally.

Doubt it why would they deploy both Radiance and Odyssey there at the same time.

Seems like a big berth increase

[kevin626]

Well Vision to Australia and Radiance to San Juan. Odyssey in some Florida Port. Is time they have big deployment in the Caribbean!

Shame to see the Anthem returning to NJ in Fall 2020. Was hoping to get the new Quantum-Ultra ship. Love sailing out of Bayonne in the winter but would love a different ship at this point. Also, a change in itinerary would be nice instead of the usual 11 day ports.

Odyssey of the Seas have call in Grand Cayman alternal weeks

Does Anyone Know When Further Information About The 2nd Quantum Ultra Class Ship (Quantum 5) Will Be Released.

Eg. Name, Itineraries , Maiden Voyage , Deck Plans , Features , ETC.

Odyssey of the Seas. The first steel was cut at MW on 2/2. Scheduled delivery to RCL in Fall 2020.

I'm guessing Odyssey's schedule for 2020-21 will closely match Adventure's for 2019-20, including going to Bayonne for the summer while Anthem returns to Europe.

Since when is Anthem going to Europe in '21?

What are the chances of a ship returning to New Orleans again?

It's just a prediction.  I know it's only going in 2020 because of the dry dock but I can see it turning into an annual event given the additional Quantum class ship.

Other than the rotation by Ovation, Quantum and Oasis class ships don't seem to move much from their routine.

We've also never seen Oasis class in Bayonne, but that's about to happen.  It's difficult to draw conclusions about what RCI will do when there's never been more than one Quantum class ship in the Atlantic at the same time.  My ultimate point is I think we'll see Odyssey in Bayonne sooner rather than later, just not during its initial winter.

Michael Bayley stated in an interview that Odyssy would be doing Florida / Barcelona homeports.

 Unlikely.

Vision's first scheduled call is 14 days after her last scheduled cruise.

don't think that she will go to Australia .

So Radiance will probably go to Australia along with Serenade.

Looking for a cruise to book for December 2020 and December 2021 out of Florida and was very surprised to see only a few Oasis class ships, Mariner, and Majesty.

 

I guess I have to wait until March.

Dec 2021 won’t be released until November / December of this year.
