If this cruises the same route as Carnival’s Panorama, I’d think the Panorama is the better.  

Agree. Prices are likely lower and food selection better.

That’s great! We did a Baja cruise on Royal when I was in high school. The more competition in that market, the better!

Could they temporarily have the Navigator sail from Ensenada and do cruises to just Cabo?

That is not fun bus ride from SD to Ensenada.

Why - never been thru the checkpoint in a bus, but the drive is all highway once you get thru TJ.  We usually drive Rt 2 thru wine country to Ensenada, but have take Rt 1 to TJ and no issues

How come the sailings aren't showing up on RCL's website?

They haven't released them for sale yet. It's supposed to be sometime this week. Lots ofvus are feverishly refreshing our browsers in the hope that they will magically appear! 😄

I wouldn't want to drive there and especially leave my car for days parked there...guarded gate or not.

When Mariner made the voyage around Cape Horn in 2009 it lasted 46 nights.  It looked like this:

    •    Port Canaveral to Rio de Janeiro - 15 nights
    •    Rio de janeiro to Valparaiso (around the Horn) - 15 nights
    •    Valparaiso to Los Angeles - 16 nights

What would it look like if Navigator repeated Mariner's 2009 voyage around the Horn?  


Navigator has a 3 night sailing from Miami on April 22, 2022.  Her last Miami turn around day is April 25, 2022.

    •    April 25, 2022 to May 10, 2022 - Miami to Rio de Janeiro
    •    May 10, 2022 to May 25, 2022 - Rio de Janeiro to Valparaiso
    •    May 25, 2022 to June 10, 2022 - Valparaiso to Los Angeles

That's 46 nights and it fits quite handily into her schedule.  Coincidence?   

 

Do the math... solo in a suite with the double points promo 😱

Fingers crossed!! 🤞  But she also has a 6 day Pacific Coastal listed starting April 23, 2022 starting from LA to Vancouver.  I like your idea better! 🙂

I think that is Radiance.  

 

Navigator is in the Caribbean for most of April 2022.

Okay Everyone,

So it's Thursday night already.

Usually the new sailings are released by Wednesdays, right?

Do any of you have a best guess now as to what day and time we will see the new Navigator sailings out to book?

Thanks for your thoughts!

At first when Anthem UK was announced Tuesday morning I thought... OK, maybe they are delaying the LA release to spread them out. 

 

Then when the big Odyssey handover event happened on Wednesday I figured all hands on deck, employees will be focused on that, so maybe Thursday.

 

Now it's almost Friday on the east coast and nada.

 

Something else must be up, like negotiations didn't finalize, they need to re-jig the calendar or someone on the deployment team has a cat and it needed a bath tonight.  

 

Maybe they found a way to stuff her through the canal and now they can add some more cruises or maybe someone's cat needed a bath tonight.  

 

I'm going with the cat excuse.

Better the cat excuse than "the dog ate my calendar"!

They probaly can’t work out how to add “Mexico” as a destination to the website.
