It's the normal 2-week long TA but only has one port stop (Malaga, Spain) instead of the normal 3 or so. Is the ship just sailing back to North America really slooooowly, or has anyone ever seen seen a situation in these cases where port stops are added later? It just seems so odd. This has been mentioned before and there's been no additional info from the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just booked the Celebrity Reflection TA for October 22, 2021 and it has 4 ports out of Rome, including an overnight in Barcelona, 2 ports in France and Tenerife. So 5 port days. 15 nights. Better deal all around for us. It still is taking 7 days to get from Tenerife to FLL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob. As much as we want to do a TA on the Oasis Class we'll give this a skip. We were victims of the crane incident on the Oasis 3 weeks before its' TA so we are still looking for a replacement. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if your would start this cruise in Barcelona like Oasis you would have only one stop (Tenerife) on Reflection as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked Reflection as well because we wanted a TA out of Rome. From the looks of things, the only possible Royal TA out of Rome is Odyssey and the jury is still out where that TA will leave from. If the Odyssey TA looks irresistible the Reflection booking is fully refundable. When we did a TA out of Barcelona on Freedom in 2017 we had a stop in Cadiz, and three stops in the Canary Islands. That was also a 14 day cruise out of Barcelona so the starting point for Harmony is no excuse for the crappy itinerary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is a good reason to start in Rome! But my point is that even with the 2 extra stops prior to Barcelona and the extra day in Barcelona for the overnight it is still only one day longer than the Harmony TA total. Comparing port to port the Reflection should then be an 18 night cruise. We did the Harmony TA on her maiden TA a few years ago. We had two ports and even floated around outside FLL for a day (we could see it in the distance) just smiling pretty for the pictures of the three sisters (Oasis, Allure and Harmony)!🥰 Edited December 3, 2019 by Sunny AZ Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's already clear that Adventure will not do the TA via Iceland in fall 2021? And which ship will be the one to offer the 10 night or longer cruises between Cape Liberty and Québec? Because Freedom obviously does the 9 night ones from CL,and Empress the ones up to Montréal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialNeedsFam Posted December 3, 2019 #1695 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Just checked the Royal website and summer 2021 cruises from Bayonne are up! We always cruise in late August and it looks like our choices will be 4 night cruises to Canada on Freedom of the Seas, 5 night cruises to Bermuda on Freedom of the Seas, or 7 night cruises to the Bahamas on Oasis of the Seas.
