springaussie Posted January 25 #1602 Share Posted January 25 The Quantum cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu October 2024 has disappeared from the website. After this Quantum was supposed to run non revenue to Singapore for dry dock. In November 2023 a port booking appeared in Hong Kong for Quantum 23 October 2024.

WorldCruiserLover Posted February 1 #1610 Share Posted February 1 We're booked on this cruise and called Royal today. They said it is not canceled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted February 2 #1611 Share Posted February 2 It likelyhood, your cruise will not be cancelled, but you will be moved over from Ovation to Quantum to do pretty much the same itinerary. There is currently no transpacific itineraries for April/May 2025 on Royal's site - taken down while this is being worked through. They need to resolve the Quantum itineraries first before they can move anyone over to Quantum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliburn Posted February 3 #1613 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Vicki has still got Ovation deployed in Hawaii Edited February 3 by Chiliburn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted February 3 #1614 Share Posted February 3 She is a Loyal Royal employee and can't really detail future plans for Ovation until those with affected bookings have been notified, which includes extra time for it to filter to them via travel agents. Hawaii could have been part of their plans for a West Coast to Hawaii run at the time it was listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would be China,their economy is pretty bad. Singapore ? Japan , possibly? Home ported in Honolulu ,could be ? I still think Ovation is going to Ravenna Italy , Royal Caribbean has just spent a fortune building a new cruise terminal and they will have to increase capacity to pay for it.

Not sure where Chilli, just noticed the Port bookings tonight. Quantum will come from Brisbane to Sydney then pacific crossing. Looks like Ovation will go from Sydney and will take one of Quantums Brisbane bookings, strange though as it's an overnighter then head north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii is probably a smokescreen for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently we will have marine methanol available soon. Just a rumour but they will have to convert some of the newer ships and scrap the older ones.

beatleman Posted February 6 #1622 Share Posted February 6 The new word is Voyager to Brissie if the can drain her of seawater lol, Anthem to Sydney. Can you check that out with BIG GAV Chilli, seems plausible as they can't fill Quantum in Brisbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cheznandy Posted February 6 #1623 Share Posted February 6 Looks like the Pacific/Hawaii Ovation cruises have been officially cancelled, including the South Pacific one 3rd April 2025 prior to the repositioning, which lines up with the Darwin booking for Ovation on the 10th April, giving 7 days to get there. Anyone for a cruise to Singapore?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s looking that way ,voyager and Anthem but if Quantum goes to L.A where does that leave Navigator? Navigator would be better that Voyager ,Navigator has been Californicated with some nice bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still a port booking for Voyager in Darwin for 7th Dec 2025, first port booking for Voyager in Brisbane is 13th Dec 2025. I think whatever ports in Sydney will come from the US, it's still marked "unknown" and over the years they usually do that for an announcement/new ship. (new to us) or maybe they don't know yet haha! I'll be happy with a Voyager class in Brissy or Sydney, looking for an Asia repositioning late 2025. I remember we thought Navigator was coming years ago, think we ended up with Explorer and Voyager, same same!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
