Since the government is now allowing overseas visitors into Australia there is no reason Carnival can't schedule a repositioning cruise from Alaska. The ship is already scheduled for a number of voyages here in the 22/23 season.

 

Of course if our governments haven't agreed to let cruise ships in by then all those voyages will get cancelled just like all the other ones in the past two years.

Tell Carnival they are dreaming.

Would be a good cruise to book last minute if it does come off, as lovely time of year for repositioning cruise.

I agree, one to keep an eye on.

Yep it would be excellent cruise and probably quite cheap at short notice.

I will be keeping an eye on it.

But we have a predicted cold winter and a nasty flu season also neurotic government.

Hopefully we are in agreement we have a neurotic government. LOL

The bad flu season is predicted by the commonwealth cheif doctor.

A with that volcano in Tonga it has put a lot of sulphuric acid into the ionosphere.which should cool the atmosphere.

Have you noticed the amazing sunsets,that’s the from the volcano.

Looks like they have reasons for hope:

According to Hawaii Ports Carnival Splendor is in Oahu 12 September 2022 0600 - 2300. 
Previous port San Diego.

[MicCanberra]

I wonder what possible quarantine requirements, if any, may be in place by then.

So springaussie  ,what about these transpacifics and Tahiti?

From what I understand even Radiance can’t go to some of the islands in French Polynesia.

Ive been thinking they may drop Tahiti and go to Samoa or something but they still have Tahiti and Bora Bora on there schedules.

And what about the vaccination rates on some of these islands. That is going to be a issue if ships want to stop over.

We are on the "Radiance""... well that's the plan. it will be an overnighter in Moorea

I  forgot to add that we are on the return in April 23. so I am taking the plunge and suggesting the Transpacific this year will do the same. The Tahiti restictions are:

The French Polynesian island of Bora Bora has announced a ban on mega cruise ships, restricting port calls to cruise ships with a capacity of less than 3,500 while those with a capacity of more than 2,500 will be restricted to Tahiti, Moorea and Raiatea. Cruise ships carrying more than 3,500 passengers will be denied entry.

So you should be right on radiance but large ships like ovation with 4,000 plus passengers have still got it on its schedule.

Unless they are going to restrict the amount of passengers to under 3,500.

That's not correct. Bora Bora's restriction is for 1,200 passengers.

 

"Starting January 1, 2022, the government of Tahiti also plans on enforcing a ban on large cruise ships from most of its ports. Ships with a capacity of over 2,500 passengers will only be permitted to dock at Tahiti, Moorea, and Raiatea, while Bora Bora will limit calls to 1,200 cruise passengers per day.  The rules are also totally banning ships operating trans-Pacific voyages with a capacity of over 3,500 passengers. "

 

Princess has already dropped Bora Bora from it's itineraries. Ships that go to French Polynesia only stop at Tahiti and Moorea now.

Perhaps they should redeploy 'Carnival Dream' to the Sydney - Alaska cruise.' Then it could all be a dream, lol. Like Chili said.🌶️

Maybe you are right,here’s a article that says the volcano wasn’t big enough.

I actually meant the global warming, empty dams etc, but those might take about three years to come back. WA has had the bushfires though.

This cruise if & when it goes ahead is going to be interesting..

The day it's listed to be in Honolulu, it's also listed to be on Day 2 of a Alaska cruise from Seattle..

There's been alot of interest from fellow Carnival fans on Facebook, so I reckon it could be a sellout, like all the TP's; Singapore-Sydney cruises..

The other interesting thing is the Capacity of Passengers. If they go with 2/3 (66%). That would have just over 2000 passengers, so Bora Bora may come into part, with only the 1200 allowed to get off the ship. 

Would love to do this cruise after 2 TP's & A Sing-Syd under my belt. But since I have a 10 month year old, Carnival doesn't let them on international cruises & more than 2 sea days..

I will have to wait till it arrives to finally become Diamond on Carnival..😃😃

I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall that those desalination plants got used pretty heavily in 2018, 2019 and the first part of 2020.

 

Back when the lakes and dams were almost empty and there was fire in the sky.  Which they will be again when La Nina goes away.
