Britboys Posted October 1, 2020 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Both ships now in Rosyth and formally handed over and flying the house flag. I wonder when they will be painted with their new livery? Also intrigued as to the funnel stacks. Will each stack be all red with the company logo on or maybe just a broad red band with the logo on over a white background? Also, cant wait to see what they are changing internally to 'install' fleet-wide venues like the Morning Light, Bookmark Café and Oriental Room.

The advertising page on the website shows the funnels all red appart from a narrow white band at the top and the logo on the outside of each funnel. Just looking at change over ports for the newly released worldie. Surprised to see the first one is Puerto Caldera in Costa Rica, followed by Sydney and Dubai. I had thought there would be turn arounds in the US and Singapore, though I think I have read that Fred had has problems doing one in the US previously because of the immigration system, which is quite difficult for UK passengers. As this seems to largely be a replacement to the Boudicca jaunts, which had regular turn arounds (some only 14 days apart). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy. I think part of the issue with cabin availability is that it is basically replacing two previous cruises (this winter and next), also people have only just been notified about the new itinerary and have been given cabin allocations, so I expect some of those allocations may yet be declined if people decide if they do not want to go ahead with the new itinerary. I think we all want something to look forward to though, so could still have a number of bookings and there are four big sectors on sale as well.

I checked it out hoping they might have something similar to the San Francisco to Hong Kong itinerary I have had cancelled for next year but was rather disappointed.
