Unfortunately (for me, anyway) the links are not working but maybe this is a preview of what they may be planning for Grandeur ?

That is a great itinerary!

Cool trip

[Norwich Cruiser]

Excellent itineraries

I like the 14 night itinerary. There's a few ports on that one that are new to Royal. Wonder if those sailings will actually happen.

I noticed today that Barbados was listed as a departure port on the website.

No pricing in cruising power.

I would jump on this one in a second but I already have a B3B on Oasis booked.  Let’s hope they make this one happen and they schedule more.

A stop in Colombia would be awesome. I've heard the last 10 years they've done a hell of a job shedding the Narcos stereotype

A lot of peoples January through April’s schedules are pretty full with all the great lift and shift deals that were available.

These look like great itineraries. I hope they sell well so they will be available for 2024.

We stopped at Cartagena, Columbia on our Panama Canal Cruise a few years back.  We really enjoyed it.  Such a great surprise that it wound up being such an awesome place to visit.  On the other hand, Colon, Panama was a terrible disappointment.

And they are gone.

 

hopefully the full schedule will be released soon.

Hmm...they’re still there when I check...but the links still don’t work.

I should have mentioned it was Cruising Power that they are gone from.

I don’t see those options on RCI site, not my TA site.  As an FYI, we were in Columbia in March and Loved it!!! Last full, safest, healthiest cruise of 2020.

They are now gone.  Only the itineraries were loaded last night, no prices. 
 

Royal has done these “test loads” in the past to make sure everything is working prior to launching the full release of itineraries. 

[The Yorkshire Cruiser]

Has Royal Caribbean ever offered sailings from Barbados before?

 

A popular homeport for British cruise lines, but I've not seen RC offer it before.

[Pumbaamd]

Sounds more like a Pullmantur deal.

[Seacruise]

Not sure what Royal is doing here with the Grandeur OTS but she was scheduled for her farewell cruise on March 26th 2021. Many of us had it booked and then cancelled many moons ago.
After this cruise she was to move to Pullmantur.

Due to what is going on right now not sure what Royals plans are.

Pulmantur filed for bankruptcy.  Looks like Grandeur is staying with Royal a while longer.

They filed for Reorganization under Spanish Law.
Here is the latest on it. It is in Spanish though but Chrome Translator works great.

I did a cruise jan 2020 on Serenade that stopped Colombia.  We toured their old walled city.  Beautiful area.  Also had a boat tour of the area.  The cruise port has a large bird sanctuary.  Very nice.  I would like to go back and explore more of Colombia.

I agree Colon , Panama was a huge disappointment.    It's one of those ports I wont bother getting off ship if I have a stop there in future.

I would love to go back to Cartagena. Only stopped there once and my husband’s knee was bad, so we just stayed in the port area. The birds were really neat to see. But I want to go back and tour the city.
