I have a couple of guarantee bookings and was checking the availability of cabins and yes heavily booked. Maybe they will swap for a bigger ship? But what? Maybe our government has set a cap on the percentage and it’s over sold? Edited March 19, 2022 by Chiliburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it would, I believe Singapore has a agreement to have a quantum at least.And Singapore has been good to RC over the pandemic. But let’s see . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Thursday in cruise weekly, Gavin Smith only mention Ovation and Quantum coming to Australia during the 2022/23 season. There was no mention of Radiance in the article, which I felt strange if it was coming down for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep but I still think they have to replace it with another ship then because all cruises were heavily booked on Radiance. Also on the news the other night after the announcement that the cruise ban had been lifted they were talking to someone senior at the cruise terminal in Sydney and he was talking about Quantum and Spectrum sailing out of Brisbane and Sydney. At the time I thought he had just made a mistake and meant to say Ovation but there is some talk that Spectrum may replace Radiance. That is all it is at this stage though, talk.

Spectrum can’t replace Radiance unless they change a lot of the ports like Newcastle and Melbourne . My mind keeps coming back to Voyager and the troubles in the Baltic.

woodscruise Posted March 20, 2022 #1786 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I don't think there will be a replacement ship for Radiance, as it seems Royal may take a more conservative start to cruising from Australia, in only domestic cruises with the odd one to New Zealand.

There’s going to be some bad will if they don’t have a replacement. Princess will be starting to look pretty good but by the looks of some of the Princess cronies on the ANZ forum, I probably wouldn’t fit in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the bad will without the replacement, but I guess they are trying to put there assets where they will make money. Any idea why Enchantment is coming down under in the 2023/24 season? Don't worry about not fitting in on Princess, as I like to "come back new" when I cruise with them. 1 minute ago, resordanis said: Perhaps Enchantment?

I bet my last crown & anchor drinks voucher enchantment doesn’t come to Sydney. ‘A small ship like that is valuable where big ships can’t go. They won’t pull it out of Baltimore.

I think it was the speculation going around that enchantment is replacing Radiance in Sydney 22-23. As for 23-24 and enchantment being deployed to Sydney,I think it’s just a place holder. Possibly for icon. Edited March 20, 2022 by Chiliburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted March 20, 2022 #1795 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I don't recall seeing any Test Loads last few Days, anyone see them? Funny thing it seems like Release's keep getting pushed/Delayed, but this is the norm and in last 10yrs think last dates are always May with some yrs into June. Funny thing is this has always benefited people like me that jump on my Favorite Cabin WHENEVER the Sailings are released. This happens sometime between Nov and May/June and 12am to 1159pm.

It is still showing in Hawaii for the trans pacific though. Radiance was pretty heavily booked so I don’t think the itinerary would be canceled. I have several cruises booked that totally disappeared from website and even competitor's website. Pretty sure those are simply sold out...or as sold out as RCI wants if still keeping some degree of capacity control. None of those show as cancelled.
