There is still no Equinox listed. Maybe they are waiting for it’s Revolution upgrade.

I think that is a misprint for the Eclipse. The other thread suggested that Equinox was not listed as it spent the entire year in the Caribbean.

CE  I think is Equinox sailing out to Caribbean all year round.

Infinity move to Europe.Silhouette move to South America replacing Eclipse.

Eclipse move to Hawaii and Pacific coastals after sailing South America this and next year.

From the information above Silhouette, Eclipse and Infinity is the only changes from the previous year.

The rest of the ships have no changes  except the new ships.

It's Constellation

[SummmerInKefalonia]

According to port registrations about the European deployment:

Constellation & Infinity are back doing similar to 2019 Central & Eastern Mediterranean itineraries.

Reflection is deployed in Northern Europe.

Silhouette will do cruises in Western Europe.

Eclipse will operate in Western Mediterranean.

Apex & Edge are not currently registered in a port that has its 2020 listings available.

Yep you're right. I was looking in the Europe line. Probably it's Eclipse and it's misspelled.

No CE on the table below:

So where is the Eclipse going after Alaska and Hawaii?  Maybe Australia?

With Infinity moving out of South America, I think that may be the end to the Antarctic trips.  Infinity I believe is the only turbine powered M Class that can enter Antarctic waters using light weight fuel.  We were on one of the maiden Antarctic voyages in 2010.  I remember Solstice is Bunker C, not allowed.  We will have to decide to take one more trip soon.

Oops just saw Eclipse is going to Antarctica in 2020. The bigger ship is a good choice.

Infinity left SA last year. Eclipse is sailing multiple trips to Antartica this season (2018-19). As far as I know all the S-class are the same type of fuel so not sure why Silhouette couldn't do Antartica if Eclipse is doing it.

CE has changed to EQ when you look at the Caribbean and Canals.

As I said before Silhouette(SI) move to South America replacing Eclipse(EC).

Eclipse(EC) move to Hawaii and Pacific coastals after sailing South America this and next year.

Thanks! I checked a few times to see if they had corrected it, but gave up.

are we thinking a larger ship for the panama canal?

[TeeRick]

Larger ship will fit through the new locks but the bridge clearance remains an issue on the Pacific side.

[Sunny AZ Girl]

We are interested in the Millennium to Japan TP in 2020. I am thinking that will be the Nov 6 announcement?

We would really enjoy that...Have only done a partial transit.  

If an S Class could  do a full canal trip, ( fit under the bridge) ..we'd book it

 

.  We are kind of done with Infinity ....unless the AC and bathroom systems are replaced when they upgrade her.  

 

If not a Canal trip, we'll be looking for the Carib again on S Class

The Solstice has had a modification to the forward mast which can be lowered to clear the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, that Bridge has a slightly lower clearance than the Bridge of the Americas.  I would think that the modification to the mast could done to other Solstice class ships.

 

Had a friend who was on the Infinity (I think) and had a discussion with the master about X's larger ships using the Canal.  The master indicated that the biggest concern was the fendering at the new locks, there have been some issues that the fenders seem to protect the lock more than the ship.
