I have not written a third ship off yet but it isn’t looking good. We need AUD on board to built up growth. Looking at a first visit to this part of the world for Winter (Summer?) 2024. Looking forward to the itineraries being released in due course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a worry because Sydney is pretty well booked up for 24-25 and they won’t replace those bookings. Hopefully Royal is home porting a ship in Melbourne for that season. Auckland and Cairns is a possibility also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Quantum of the seas there now and have trouble filling it. I don’t think they would deploy a second ship in Brisbane. Sydney is the biggest selling departure port in Australia but is very congested. Edited January 16, 2023 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LindaD22 Posted January 16, 2023 #730 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’m submitting this here because it seems like the relevant thread, although I have posted separately (no replies yet). Brilliance of the Seas was originally scheduled for AUS/NZ in February 2024. We have a 12-nt cruise booked. Now I see that BOS is set to be in the Caribbean at that time. I only see Ovation in AUS/NZ now. Does this mean my cruise is going to be cancelled? Or moved to Ovation? Your insights and experience with this are greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is from when Brilliance was doing Europe, and the Trans Atlantic. Royal swapped Brilliance for Enchantment. Enchantment was coming to Oz 23/24.

Brisbane Port Bookings look boring. Majority 7 day schedules. With an odd 6,8 and 9 night schedule. Only one 3 nighter in April before the Trans Pacific. No Airlie Beach 4 nighters or New Zealand cruises. Aussies love the 3 and 4 night cruises to nowhere in the Summer. Quantum arrives 1 December 2024 supposedly after a Singapore dry dock. The million dollar question is will the private island of Lelepa be opened for the 24/25 season. The 7 night South Pacific cruises will need 3 ports like Carnival and P&O do from Brisbane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many similar things to Radiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might get an update on Lelepa when they announce the Aus deployment. Don’t see why they would cut back to 2 ships if they plan to have Lelepa up and running for that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Teeara Posted January 17, 2023 #741 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Any early bird news on whether Allure will have her drydock in 2025? Would still love to do a TA on her in 2025 after getting switched from her to Wonder last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still love to do a TA on her in 2025 after getting switched from her to Wonder last year. Allure should have a 2025 dry dock because that would be the normal 5 year scheduled visit to a shipyard for required maritime maintenance. The normal 5 year pattern of shipyard visits is required or they could lose their ability to operate the vessel so it's generally something you can set you watch to.

That's what I figured since it didn't have the full refurbishment in 2020 after the WB TA was canceled. Although Wonder was nice (and our Owner's Suite was freaking amazing), pretty much everyone was saying that it didn't have the same feel as the other Oasis class ships.

Having been on 4 out of 5 of the Oasis class ships I agree - Wonder does not have the charm as the older ships. To me they tried to squeeze too much in. I am hoping they leave the slide off Allure and give us a choice! Edited January 17, 2023 by Blue Eyed Belfast Belle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which schedule are you referring to? I've been trying to figure out what Oasis is doing after her summer 2024 in the Med. Wanting that westbound TA in a bad way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnuff Posted January 22, 2023 #748 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hi, we are on the OASIS at the moment and i thought of booking a OASIS class for nov/Dez 2024, but they aren't out yet.

CTCruiser76 Posted January 23, 2023 #750 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Typically, when will Royal release the rest of the schedule after April 2024 - I still see a number of ships without Itineraries after April 2024 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
