This is what I am seeing for northbound Radiance in August 7, 2020.  Hubbard Glacier is not Glacier Bay, correct?

Hubbard Glacier is a stunning glacier. We visited it on our Radiance cruise in 2016. It is not in Glacier Bay, however. You are correct.

Great news for us West Costers! I will look at their itineraries!

 

Keep in mind that not all the itineraries have been updated yet. 🙂  Our sailing In May on Ovation, still shows Dawes Glacier, even though those of us booked have already had our cruise planner updated to GB.  I think most of the Radiance cruises have been updated, though.

And RCI sent out a corrected email today as well, fixing the ‘extra day’ on the original one.

Nice to see that fixed, especially if you are on the next cruise.  Wouldn't want to see an itinerary shortened.

Has anyone received info regarding change to Glacier Bay for Ovation that is not for May 22, August 28 or Sep 4, 2020 departures?

Yes. Dawes is out and Glacier Bay is in for the May 22nd cruise.

Glacier Bay is in for Aug 28, 2020

Have yet to receive anything for June 19, 2020. Fingers crossed!

I know that Glacier Bay is confirmed for departures May 22, August 28 and Sep 4. However, after checking schedules for HAL vessels and under consideration of the two ship maximum per day I assume these are all upcoming changes for Ovation in 2020. She will only go to Glacier in the shoulder season in May and September but not in the high season from June to August. In those months Eurodam and eather Westerdam or Noordam are in Glacier Bay on Tuesdays.

I'm thinking the same thing too.  Schedules will perhaps change more in 2021, but unless something gives, there just isn't space for additional sailings.  I'm thankful to be on the May 22 cruise.  We didn't plan for GB, but are thrilled that we are scheduled. 

 

I've been watching social media.  Haven't seen any other confirmations of sailings for Ovation.

We received an update for our Ovation Sept. 4, 2020 Alaska cruise.  Very excited to be going to Skagway, it was a favorite stop several years ago.  Wish we were going this year instead of next, now.

I received an email from RC this morning saying they are reverting back to the original itinerary of Skagway instead of Glacier Bay. I am on the May 22, 2020 Radiance of the Seas Southbound.

something has gone terribly wrong. Changing itineraries in July to reflect Glacier Bay now included to 3 months later saying oops no can do.🙁
