Rare cruiselvr04 Posted October 20, 2021 #251 Share Posted October 20, 2021 While I think we’d love this we have never done more then 2 weeks. I think I’d want to try a 30-40 day cruise first before I spent that much money on that long of a trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a 13 night in 2019, and it wasn't too much!😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were cancelled from that trip on Serenade from early this year. Not wanting to take a chance on 2022...we booked again like you...for 2023.

cindivan Posted October 20, 2021 #254 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Wow. I simply can’t imagine living in such small spaces for such an extended time- regardless of what room you are in. And not seeing our family and friends for that long. And the $$$$. Different world than mine for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it seemed like certain ships were permanently glued to a home port destined to sail the same routes every week until eternity. This creativity, experience and feedback in new places may lead to other opportunities in the future for a larger target market. Me too, I would love to see new routes 2 hours ago, Merion_Mom said: If I go on this cruise, I will definitely do a live thread, just as I did for 53 nights on the Mariner in 2009. Let me know if you want to check out that one and I'll post the link. 🙂 Yes please! I hope you go on this one too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldcity Posted October 21, 2021 #257 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I suspect there will be a large number of newly minted Pinnacles disembarking at the end of this thing. But the big take-away I hope to see is that Royal will take an interest in South America cruising that extends beyond a stop in Cartagena. I'd love to do that first leg ... but I suspect the cost is not going to fit my budget. Doesn't stop me from repeatedly studying that itinerary. It is so incredibly appealing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that to afford this we would have to stay in a lower category cabin and now after many years of doing that, we can now stay in suites. Um… ok if you insist.

pcur Posted October 21, 2021 #265 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This is not really new and innovative for RCCL. Somebody must have been cleaning out old marketing files, because this is the "Royal Journeys" renamed. It was in 2001-ish, and they had around 4 segments then, too. I had the brochures and kept them for a long time, as they were gorgeous. Everything old is new again............................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to add Hawaii, like the 2022 cruises, but they kind of messed that up by cancelling 2022 before the 2023 itineraries came out.

Instead of another cruise leg, we're doing 7-10 days in Australia before the cruise. Are you on the meet and mingle for all three cruises? I'm so hoping that it actually happens this time!
