Chiliburn Posted July 13, 2022 #301 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I have been trolling everything about Lelepa but there nothing about Royal Caribbean and the new resort. There’s a couple of things about charities upgrading the solar electricity and water supplies for the island. But nothing about the new resort. Do you think they are waiting for Uncle Sam to open his wallet?? Lots of talk about money in the South Pacific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder is 362 meters long , so I think the new Icon class should be a bit longer. Icon of the seas. Here’s the other end of the ship. It’s got a parabolic bow which is straight up and down. It only just fits in the dry dock. Notice the infinity cabins like the newer celebrity ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisegroover Posted July 27, 2022 #305 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I am seeing posts that Enchantment of the Seas will be replaced with Brilliance of the Seas for 23/24 season. Has anybody else seen anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe enchantment will come to the pacific . The Australia and the Alaska run is one of the bid cash cows . They won’t deploy a old wreck like enchantment or even vision to a big ticket like Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to do some more P&O Straya cruises, Chili. But then the P&O ships are rather ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it will make it here? They are still notifying Alaska passengers that Quantum’s engine won’t be fix at least the end of September early October. Im thinking they could swap it for Navigator? But I don’t know if Quantum can hookup to shore power in L.A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Brisbane to Singapore cruise or vv in February 2023 on Quantum sounds great for a dry dock! ( I can dream) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few swapping of ships occurred due to speed restrictions and efficiencies of the ships, as per the other thread. Our Brilliance cruise is now an Enchantment one in the Med next year.

Chiliburn Posted August 12, 2022 #321 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The word is a ship year round in Brisbane 2024 . Im trying to find out which ship . My thoughts are it will be a Voyeger class and the only one that hasn’t been to the pacific is Adventure of the seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a possibility if Voyager class will fit into the Trinity Inlet channel in Cairns. I am not sure they have dredged it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity Eclipse which has to anchor off Yorkey's Knob is 317 meters long. Coral Princess, which does dock, is 294 meters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading Ports north supplied the relevant information to both RCG and Carnival but they declined to take anything over 300 meters. They said the channel isn’t wide enough if a wind pops up.

Chiliburn Posted August 12, 2022 #325 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) @gbenjo You might be able to get some inside information. I was told by a CLIA rep that intercuise or the shore service is working on deployment of a ship year round in Brisbane for Royal Caribbean. Any word ?
