TraceyG 🙂 Wonder is pretty well unknown ,the Americans are hysterical about having it. There was a statement by Royal that Lelepa would be in full swing in time for the 2024-2025 season and I read it maybe in a limited use in 2023. I don’t think Royal Caribbean knows what’s going to happen but if Celebrity Edge does come here in 23-24 season we will get a Oasis class of some description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandtgeddes Posted January 28, 2022 #53 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Thank you Chiliburn 🙂 Still don't have my FFC sorted. My March 2020 cruise should be a happy memory but the cancellation of it has turned into an administration nightmare with RCI 😒 Looks like I may not be cruising until the 2024/2025 season. Will continue to be patient. TraceyG 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraceyG 😉 There is a bit of speculation that Royal may possibly even have a ship home ported in Auckland in 24/25 Auckland is one of the closest cities to Lelepa and noumea is on the way. Thats something to lift your spirits. Edited January 28, 2022 by Chiliburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mr walker Posted February 3, 2022 #58 Share Posted February 3, 2022 @Chiliburn OK just got updated/extended RC FCC now expiring 30-Apr-23. Need to find us a cruise between early Feb & Apr 2023 out of Sydney. The original 2020 cruise was Apr on Voyager to Sth Pacific, but not sure they will be open, so I guess it's Jacindaland or Anastacialand 😮 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have winter coming and the eggheads are saying it’s going to be a ball breaker. United have some great prices to the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mr walker Posted February 3, 2022 #60 Share Posted February 3, 2022 At this stage we don't plan on travelling to far flung places by plane, so we will need to focus on Aus/NZ & Sth Pacific for our cruising. At this stage, I'd be fine with a say, 10N cruise, that departs from Circular Quay & ties up for the duration at Athol Buoy & has 24hour tenders running to Man O War steps & Manly cove. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted February 4, 2022 #61 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Celebrity has just announced they will be offering kind of packages and Royal is expected to follow. Flights,Hotels,insurance and transfers for most destinations. For those who are thinking doing a goal break from fortress down under. A little information that may make it a little easier. Royal Caribbean group requires a Covid test no more than 2 calendar days before your cruise. So just say you are traveling to Singapore or Japan for a cruise ,you will have to do a test on arrival. That test can be used for up to 2 days to board your cruise ,so you can stay for 2 nights and use that test. Just say you are traveling to LA and you have a cruise booked on Navigator on the 10th of never. You can fly out of Sydney or Melbourne on the. 8th and if you get your test that morning at the airport. You can still stay 2 nights before your cruise and use your airport test to board navigator. And I believe the same would go for Allure out of Galveston. Edited February 4, 2022 by Chiliburn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they’d realise. From memory you get to LA a hour before you leave Sydney. In theory you should feel younger after the 14 hour flight but it doesn’t work like that. Apparently they go on dates not a 48 hour period. Edited February 4, 2022 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted February 10, 2022 #64 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Heads up Royal cruisers. There’ a wow sale on with up-to $1,000 OBC and I have just put the Royal Caribbean Australia price match to test ???? Ive got 3 cruises booked out of Sydney and one is a few hundred bucks cheaper with $ 450 onboard credit. They matched the current price and the OBC . The other 2 cruises weren’t any cheaper, so check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted February 15, 2022 #65 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Has anyone put the Australian Price match to test? Two friends had luck. The first,the total fare was $50 more but they go $US 400 OBC The second was a grand suite and they got the $US 1000. You have to ask for the cruise with confidence,Price match.

That’s the last I can see of it .I would say it’s going to Europe for a dry dock. And then a season in the Mediterranean but only guessing.

My guess would be New York to the Bahamas, for the summer months. I think this is what it did last year, in the summer months, before relocating to Florida.

Chiliburn Posted February 17, 2022 #70 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) There’s 3 ships coming up as possible for New York ,Liberty,Anthem and Oasis. I believe Oasis is due for a dry dock soon Then the first of the Icon class should be delivered towards the end of next year ,it will bump a oasis class out of Cape Canaveral. There seems to be to many ships on the east coast of the US Edited February 17, 2022 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted February 22, 2022 #71 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Just booked a 2 night booze cruise with a group out of Sydney in January on Ovation.

Not recent, but they had it on our 3N Voyager in 2015 - I didn't partake as my C&A benefits and a few paid for were sufficient for me, but my brother, BIL & ex BIL all got the package - I remember them drinking bloody mary's at 9am 🙂 Mic & Rosie were on that cruise & also the gang from Wimbledon celebrating a birthday. Happy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like a lot of ships. I had a bit of a thought me might see Oasis in the Pacific but it has bookings out of NY all next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was booked on an Ovation 3-nighter next month and the UBP was available in the Cruise Planner before the cruise was canceled. Pricing was pretty steep from memory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted February 25, 2022 #75 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It looks like Harmony is bumping Allure out of Galveston. Apparently Allure is also due for a refurbishment along with Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
