DougMacP Posted July 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Stumbling around in youtube I came across a post that said 40 cruise ships for sale. The source is Apollo Duck, one of THE registry for ships. RCI ships on the list are: Majesty Of The Seas built 1992 Grandeur Of The Seas built 1996 Rhapsody Of The Seas built 1997 Radiance Of The Seas built 2001 Brilliance Of The Seas built 2002 I've got to say sale of the Majesty didn't surprise me... but the Radiance and Brilliance did. Thinning out their mid sized fleet. Not my first time sailing on ships I knew were leaving the fleet... Hope they continue to maintain them to their usual high standard.

Clarea Posted July 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It's been reported here that these listing are not necessarily from the cruise line. Might be some sort of speculative listing by a broker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted July 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2019 You can't believe everything you read or see on the internet. Radiance has a multi-million dollar refresh scheduled and immediately after that she headlines in Brisbane opening up a new market and home port there. She isn't for sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwizzlersAddict Posted July 17, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I think if Royal were offered enough money they would sell any ship in the fleet. Just not many buyers out there that would offer them enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does a transpacific with guests to Japan then onto dry dock. Right after that she heads to Brisbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping it was before we sailed on July 31st 2020, but aleast I guess it's good there are still about 5 sailings after our cruise, this way they won't start to tear things up before our cruise is done. I know how they like to start tearing things up before the actual dry dock start date. Edited July 17, 2019 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted July 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Dougmacp, These type of things have popped up over the last few years and something similar was on the Carnival forum in the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find a refundable deposit after you disclose all of your personal information along with your credit score and medical history at the bottom of the contract as long as you using a magnifying glass to read it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet RCI would need to either find an alternative for Baltimore (Grandeur sails from there now as she's one of the few that will fit under a bridge) or abandon plans to sail from Baltimore. There's a thread floating around about Grandeur possibly being replaced in Baltimore, that's where I read the info about fitting under the bridge.

mayleeman Posted July 18, 2019 #24 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) If I buy them while on board, do I get a lower down payment and a drink package? And can I transfer the purchase to my own resl estate agent within 60 days? Edited July 18, 2019 by mayleeman 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelplus Posted July 18, 2019 #25 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Sad but true I'm purchasing these ships, getting rid of the Casino and turning it into another lounge!
