I hope she does still sail the TA even if it is from Miami or somewhere as I have the Barcelona to Amsterdam Repo booked as a b-2-b too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been reported that Liberty is not having her dey dock and will replace Jewel there. I am booked on the Jewel TA to Barcelona and it is unclear if a) it is cancelled b) Jewel will sail from somewhere else or c) Liberty will be sailing to Europe instead. Any info would be appreciated. What Royal "Said" about all Jewel Canceled dates: "Given the closure of shipyards along with the disruption to the supply chain caused by this pandemic, Liberty of the Seas’ amplification has been postponed to a later date, and the ship will sail to Galveston earlier than planned. Regrettably, only one ship can dock at the Galveston pier at a time" ...Vision is doing the 10 & 11 nite Seasonal Caribbean Cruises next 2 yrs that Serenade had before. If retiring Vision I'd love get Jewel back doing these longer Seasonal. Been doing these longer Cruises for 18+ yrs, love my Radiance Class ships... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was booked on an 8 day cruise from the 14th of March until the 22nd. That is changed to Liberty a 7 day western Caribbean cruise which arrives back in Galveston on the 21st. When I called RCC to check on the Trans Atlantic Galveston to Barcelona it no longer is in there system. The Jewel is not coming to the Caribbean this fall at all. It appears they are going to use Liberty for the fall Caribbean cruises since she is already there. My reservations still show in the planner but they will change shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pstone1 Posted June 30, 2020 #3359 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Lots of us on that October 2021 TA. We’re on Rhapsody for the previous 3 weeks. At this point, we’re just hopeful ships will be sailing by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lr657 Posted June 30, 2020 #3360 Share Posted June 30, 2020 We're also on the October 2021 Vision TA preceded by a B3B on Rhapsody. I am wondering if either of these ships will still be sailing for RCI in October 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the TA will still take place from an east coast port instead of Galveston which means it will probably be shortened a couple of days. Bummer since we normally drive to Galveston eliminating airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ethanol95 Posted July 3, 2020 #3372 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Radiance has appeared on Singapore's port schedule on 30/09/2020 from HK with it's next destination stated as Port Klang. That seems very odd. Anybody knows the reason for this? Port Schedule: https://mbccs.com.sg/search-ship-result/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe picking up supplies (c19 test kits) and then off to pick up crew for our season?? I was in a small fishing port Eden a few days ago and was talking to the harbour master. I asked if there’s word about our cruise season.He said it’s definitely NOT going to happen . But cruise lines are still advertising and selling.

I was also speculating about this being the repositioning for Radiance back to oz. But Australia's borders still remain closed. And the fact that Radiance is going to Malaysia, that usually doesn't happen on repositioning cruises to Oz. She would go straight to Indonesia, then Darwin. Hmm..

If there’s a possibility of a season .Royal would have to have a process in place and to show the Australian authorities how they would manage testing and how they would manage the virus. Singapore has a world Standard in health Australian authorities will recognise. Maybe pick up philpino crew ,go to Singapore and get some test kits ,a couple of doctors and then some more crew in different places?????? We have all lost hope of a season here but who knows.
