It's not showing any cruises for the remainder this year and just six from January to March. Just did a bit of "surfing" and it appears that the two Melbourne departures scheduled for November have been replaced with Qld cruises. She is up there cruising at the moment. I think that the Xmas and New Year cruises now listed replace these. They are still showing as available to book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I spoke to Greg Hunt. He says cruise restrictions are to do with fractions. x/c, y/c, and z/c, are allowed in Europe. Why? They’re all over c’s.

Chiliburn Posted November 18, 2021 #5768 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Just got a email from Gavin Smith of Royal Caribbean sydney. I emailed his boss in Miami and he replied. He said they are in final discussion with Governments around Australia and will be bringing a ship to Australia early mid 2022. He said they are considering a number of ships.

A side benefit of the past year & a half is that maybe RC will extend the length of the cruise season here going forward, at least until the pent-up demand subsides. It seems likely that the Fed Govt will not extend the ban from 17Dec & a steady re-start can occur. I suggest that the cruiselines & the Health & Border Control departments would have learned a lot from Mar/Apr 2020 which will be for the better going forward. You may recall I have a credit in my pocket from our cancelled RC cruise in Mar 2020 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia is a important market. There’s been a lot of talk over the years of climate refugee tourism. People from the Europe and USA escaping the heat. ‘The mild Australian winter is better than 3 months of 45 degrees in Texas. A small ship like Rhapsody in cairns and a large ship in Brisbane over winter is only a matter of time. So what ship Michael? Im thinking Radiance but people on another forum are saying Spectrum in Sydney from April-May. There’s also Brilliance ,Rhapsody and vision. Someone said Navigator is a possibility as it’s not selling well ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
