Ovation has to be in Singapore or Cadiz around March 2026 for ten year dry dock. 
The most likely thing I can see is Quantum working the Ovation Trans Pacific April 20;25.

Asia or Europe Chilli Mid 2025. 

So Quantum and Ovation are there doing the transpacific at the end of next season.

Thats 3 Quantum class in Alaska for the 2025 season and only Anthem returning to Australia.

Where’s the other 2 go during our 25-26 season ?

One might go to L.A. and the other to the Mediterranean .

If so ,we might get Navigator ?

Chilli I have been looking into port bookings to find Ovation and Navigator and I can’t find anything. 
The  only Trans Pacific on sale to Alaska 2025 is Ovation.

Quantum and Anthem TPs not on sale yet! 
I have thought that Voyager bookings 25/26  could be Navigator but I can’t find anything to prove it. 
One Quantum ship would be in Singapore.

But where does the Quantum other one go?

Interesting you say that. The Quantum 2025 TP eastbound's not bookable on the website, but it was definitely listed on the flyers at Next Cruise on both Ovation & Brilliance last month. I'm getting on Quantum on Wednesday, will try and find out more and report back.

I wouldn’t have to much confidence in that next cruise,they are advertising Lelepa on their T.V. Channel.

Someone I know was talking to the chief of Lelepa,he said he hasn’t heard from RC for ages.

Thanks Scottish  Robbie 

Also could you please see what is happening with Quantum west bound Honolulu to Singapore October 2024. It is suppose to be non revenue.

Zoltina ,uncle Les ?

Im not familiar with that term,it sounds like Greek Mythology is it?

 Is it Greek mythology for some kind of cougar god or something?

If so ,she would be a hand full ,any first hand stories?

Zoltina resigned from P&O over a year ago. She is now a cruise director on a much more upmarket brand, and currently on a ship bound for Australia.

 

Lots of "familiar" faces have resigned from P&O since the restart.

Thanks Geoffrey. She certainly had a massive following by P&O cruisers. She had her own fan club I believe.

Lots of fans for sure, and well justified. Some thought she was a bit superficial, but she is still true to her role and herself 15 years later. One of the best CDs we have cruised with.

 

A local version of a John Heald or Ken Rush, where the face becomes part of the brand.

It appears Icon has retractable funnels  ,that means it can clear the bridge on the Suez Canal,the Al salam bridge.

Most certainly, and a much better fit for Z.

The Captain Corner on Quantum was told tomorrow’s 6 night North QLD cruise is going to Sydney not Airlie,Willis Is and Yorkeys.

They are waiting final word from Miami.

We leave Friday Chili and feeling slightly nervous. Son who lives in Cairns feels there is no way I will see him overnight next week.😢

They could just reverse it. Eden first then head north. Port schedules are pretty open.

I can live it hope as an overnighter actually at the Port in Cairns was the only reason this cruise appealed to us!
