You know you want to join us on Odyssey...!!

Sorry. Looks like it's too dull (Don't see how). Passengers excluded of course.

It's almost full, so an Aft against a broom cupboard, Adventure wins. That's 2 Ta's on Anthem cancelled, so I still haven't been on a Q Class. 

Just booked Adventure from Southampton to Miami on 14th October as a back up in case Empress is cancelled.

I booked Anthem for May and Odyssey for June to get my Quantum class fix in (just so I can see how dull they really are....!), in addition to the OY TA.

We loved Q class. Took Quantum from Bayonne to Shanghai in 2015. 53 days and never tired of it. Although, they had Dynamic Dining then, which we really liked because of the variety. I think I'd get tired of the same meals recycled.

My 2020 cruise calendar as booked was nearly all Quantum class.  With only the Allure TA in March, every other 2020 cruise was booked on one of three Quantum class ships.  It was going to be a Quantum year for me.  As it turned out only 66% of my 2020 cruises were on Quantum class.  

 

Two out of three ain't bad.

I was on Quantum maiden to NY.  Loved DD too!

I concur.  Odyssey in Europe?  No way.  Send her straight to America. 🙂 

We have not yet had the opportunity to sail on a Quantum (plus) class ship and we will gladly take her over here on this side of the pond.  We have it booked for March 2022 in her first season in the Caribbean.  We have been fortunate enough to sail multiple times on Oasis, Freedom, and Navigator classes, so we look forward to trying a new class of ship.

I am from Asia and it is easier for us to have a cruise on the Quantum Class vessels. I have sailed on all 4 ships, including QN/OV/SC in Asia, plus AN in Southampton in her maiden season.

 

Europeans and Americans may find it difficult to book a cruise on Quantum Class. There are only AN in Bayonne and OV in Alaska. QN and SC spend most of the time in their lives in Asia until now.

 

I haven't tried Oasis Class yet, but I really enjoy the design and facilities on Quantum Class.

As someone who doesn't love sitting out on the pool deck, I much prefer Quantum class ships. At least there are indoor venues where you can see the sea, regardless of the weather. I can usually be found in Two70!

Even Odyssey will be like this, only difference is that there is no closed Pool Deck anymore except for Solarium.

I can't remember them being this early before.

Some would have guessed the itineraries will be earlier this year to generate more revenue for RCG, while others would have guessed later due to all the uncertainty.

Interesting (sadly) there is no Asian itineraries in 22/23.  

The Asian itineraries are not yet released.

 

You can see that while Journey and Pursuit already have the itineraries up to spring 2023, Quest only has itineraries until fall 2022. The 2022-2023 Asian sailings will be published later.

A new potential port to keep an eye on...

 

Tokyo now open to world's biggest cruise ships with new terminal

 

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/09/10/national/tokyo-international-cruise-terminal/

 

 

The 2 Quantum Japan cruises schduled or next april would depart from there insted of Yokohama. As it looks currently these cruises wil very likely not happen.

 

For sure a opportunity for X and RCL to switch from Yohohama.

I guess that gives them some potential for novel overflow housing for the 2021 Olympics😉

Bookings have appeared in the Brisbane port calendar from Nov 2022 to April 2023 in the name of Quantum of the Seas.  The season is 23 bookings in total, commencing Nov 1 and concluding on April 12.  The longest cruise is 10 nights.  
 

This follows the apparent deployment of Quantum to Brisbane in 2021/22, replacing Radiance.

Does this exclude Radiance from deploying out of Brisbane in 2022?   More than one ship can go out of Brisbane. 🍷
