We end our British Isles on Jewel on the 29th. And would love to continue on to Barcelona. I have not heard anything regarding timing or fi it will be offered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked where she is going after her summer 2024 season and he confirmed Singapore but said he couldn't say any more than that for the moment. As i have been saying all along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it would make more sense for Royal to have Anthem do Alaska/Australia and Quantum back in Singapore. If China is open, they will send 2 Quantum classes to China, Spectrum, and probably Quantum to HK and Tianjin/Shanghai. Anthem is better suited to Singapore than Anthem would be for the Chinese market. This likely could be seasonal sailing between China and Australia, or just China.. Who knows..

I think you'll have to wait a bit longer. Due to its preferred popularity, they'll probably reinstate Tianjin first as a homeport before Shanghai. And you'll only get this itinerary if it's repositioning to Singapore, which should only occur once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we did the Quantum 12N Beijing (Tianjin) - Singapore repositioning in Oct 2019 and it was wonderful! The ports were Fukuoka, Taipei, Hong Kong, Hue Danang, Ho Chi Minh. Would love to do this/similar itinerary again.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly does not say it will be doing 3/4 cruises, but it does say Schneider said it will be all Bahamian. It alludes to short cruises, but does not come out and say it. Personally, I want 3/4 day Utopia PDCC cruises... specifically 3 day cruises. Edited May 3, 2023 by Mikew0805 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted May 3, 2023 #1562 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Allure sails from PC on 7-12-24, then her next sailing is 7-16-24 from PoM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted May 3, 2023 #1563 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Someone posted on one of these threads a schedule showing the Icon is scheduled to leave Cadiz for PC on 6/23/24. Since the Icon will already be sailing they must have meant Utopia. That would bring her to PC early July 2024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this links into from Cruise Industry News. “All the signals point to a China restart for Royal Caribbean Group in 2024, according to executives speaking on the company’s first quarter earnings call on Thursday. “We still have some work to do, but we’ve now started to rebuild our sales organization in China, and we expect, hopefully, by late spring, early summer (2024) to be back operating out of China,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International. Bayley said that pre-pandemic, the brand was the number one brand in China by volume, having built up a significant business over the years. The company had sent new ships to China, including the Spectrum of the Seas in 2019, and had planned for the Oasis-class Wonder to homeport out of China year-round prior to the pandemic. “Our expectation is that this market will return to how it was pre-pandemic. The value of a Chinese customer is very high. When you look at the net revenue from a Chinese consumer. It’s typically around the same level as an American and slightly higher. So, we see that returning,” Bayley said. “The spend changes somewhat in terms of onboard spending. They skew differently in different areas. But overall, the aggregate of their spend is very high.”” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
