kruzerci Posted July 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I definitely did not see that announcement. Very interesting move. Glad to see them back in New Orleans even if it is just MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted July 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just noticed that as well. Never saw the announcement. Guess we know what MJ will be doing for the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybrkr17 Posted July 9, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Glad I get to sail on her before she leaves Florida. Maybe if she stays passed April 2020, I might have to sail on her again and visit New Orleans! Do you think she will move back to Florida after April or be done with RCCL?

Saab4444 Posted July 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2019 As Pullmantur just anounced exit of Zenith and plans for growth Majesty should go there from April 2020. Monarch goes to Europe and her spot for Caribbean cruises should be filled with Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandebeach Posted July 9, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I just got the email from Royal announcing bookings now open for Majesty from New Orleans and Empress from Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted July 9, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Also, per email, Empress will be the only RC ship visiting the Virgin Gorda Baths in 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staring Jan 11 2020 Empress is staying in Miami and doing 5-8 Night Western Caribbean and Bahamas cruises I haven't been looking ahead lately. Thanks for this post, I'd consider a 7 day , with hopefully at least 4 ports, on MJ if it hits a few ports, hopefully 1 new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No announcement on RC website. According to a couple of blogs, this is relocation from the Cuba cruises. Did they just refund everyone booked for Cuba in 2020 and start fresh here?

The old schedule, that had the Cuba cruises, only extended to December, so these are brand new itineraries for both ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan Posted July 10, 2019 #20 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I found an article on line from Travel Agent Central indicating that the Majesty would stay in New Orleans year round. Itineraries/booking now available through April, 2020. Sailings for May 2020 through April, 2021 are supposed to open the week of July 22. Let's hope that this is accurate--I'd love to have RC ship here all year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this too and as a fellow NOLA resident, I'm stoked! yet our local media hasn't said a single thing about it that I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I had a January 2020 Cuba cruise booked. They cancelled the booking and issued me a FCC. I took a while for them to get to the 2020 bookings since they repriced all of the 2019 sailings first.

Hope you were able to find a nice replacement cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 11, 2019 #25 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Well if the levy breaks which seems a recent concern...They'll be lots of water for her to sail through. I would love to sail out of and visit NOLA but was always hoping to do it on a bit larger ship than Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
