Some of those may have come out last year.  RC has opened cruises through April 2021.

But not the TAs?  I searched (there are a couple TPs but I'm interested in Atlantic).  Am I doing something wrong?

TAs aren't out. Just a few TPs.

Another thing to keep in mind when looking for TAs is to also look at repositioning cruises. The TA we took earlier in the year actually showed up as a repositioning and not a TA even though it went from Galveston to Barcelona. I would look under both types just in case.

Are we expecting Eastbound TAs to show up from tomorrow? USA to UK and Europe?

 

Is there much info kicking about?

 

Thanks.

It'll probably show the TA of the ships that were "leaked" or already known (Harmony, Jewel, Rhapsody, Vision, and Odyssey). 

[Crism]

Anyone have any snapshots of leaked TAs?

Hi. Thanks.

Do you remember the date for the Harmony Ta and the info for the Odyssey Ta (date and from where to where).

No, I do not know the dates. I simply guessed that because those were the sailings that were "leaked" or known, their TAs would be released as well.

Harmony may or may not have an eastbound TA since it’s going in for dry dock.

It’s the week of.  They rarely post the new itineraries on Monday.  Usually later in the week.

Thanks for all the info guys.

It's a holiday tomorrow here in the US (Veterans Day) so more than likely Tuesday or Wednesday.

Maybe the new restrictions in Northern Europe lead to the reduction of ships there? Also, I was hoping RCI would put a Radiance-class ship from Venice as Rhapsody's cruises every year go sold out really early...

It could also be Sydney / Seattle / New York  since there is no TP cruise on Ovation of the Seas, and there is speculation it will spend time in NYC.

The question then is...Panama Canal or South America?  Royal would make a KILLING on a South America trip.

However, they would also make a killing with the amount of sailings they could take going through he Panama Canal! On the contrary, given the short season in Alaska (ending in September) it would make perfect sense for them to have a cruise to Los Angeles, then down the Mexican Riviera into South America and around Cape Horn up to New York! That would take around 50 days, landing them in October which is when the Fall/Winter/Spring season begins for cruising in New York!

Can't remember what cost was last time Royal ship went around South America, or length. But don't think cost per day if OV did it would be too high compared some Cruises so far released. Lot of Cabin's to fill.

The general public doesn't seem to agree with this as if that was the case the RCI bean counters would be all over it.

In Comparison Vison PC last minute and NCL new Joy/Bliss were cheap as they tried fill the Cabins. Almost booked Joy at $1400 total for MX as a Single. Serenade and Jewel were/are higher though not outrageous

About 3.5 years ago.  Winter/Spring 2016.  They had Rhapsody going from Brazil to Chile and back.  We took Rhapsody from Brazil to Barcelona as she said goodbye to Brazil.  Royal hasn't been back since.  Celebrity does some sailings from Buenos Aires around the horn though.

If only they did PC cruises over the summer! Then they wouldn't have to worry about filling cabins!

I think Mariner also did around South America many years ago before being moved to Asia.
