Quite often ships aren’t fully ready when they leave the shipyard. It is common for Royal employees to board and act as test passengers while the final finishing touches are made on the journey across the pond.

Thanks for the update. What you said makes since. It's ashame that we miss out on a great extended trip opportunity.

My USA TA has confirmed Anthem is a Southampton - Rome - Dubai - Singapore repo ( so 3 legs) - no confirmed ports yet but he says going on sale soon…

Very, very interesting. I like the sound of Rome to Dubai. Hope the dates work. 🤞🤞🤞

Last Canaries cruise ends 14/10. Southampton to Rome 8-10 days ??? So I’m working on around 23/10./24 from Rome. Then another 8-10 for the transit…🤷‍♀️

 

Will we finally meet?!

Do you know or is that an educated guess? I wonder if I can make 15 nights work. Thing is, there'd have to be a night before in Rome and a couple of nights after in Dubai. Can't go all that way and not see the place. Hmmmm.

I would think not. Since it's not over the actual christmas holiday.

 

If you are asking about the DP340 code, I've found several christmas holiday cruises its valid on. .. not on the following NYE cruise, just christmas. So sometimes rcl allows it even for holidays.

There has been some questions or uncertainty regarding Quantum after she finishes her Oct.1 to Oct. 14 Vancouver to Hawaii cruise in 2024 given this deployment summary (updated July 11. 2023):

 

 

 

It appears Quantum will have a non-revenue 13 nights from Hawaii to Singapore Oct. 14 to 28, drydock for 22 nights Oct. 28 to Nov. 19 then the known repo to Brisbane.

Until it's offered for sale it is subject to change.

It will depend not only on the dates but also on how silly the pricing is... 😬

Who did you kill to get that information… or is it an educated guess?!?

 

So my guesstimate of 23/10 from Rome seems to be spot on!!

I could tell you, but then...

[Crism]

YES YES YEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! Perfect dates for the Suez trip!

[crzndeb]

I sure wish it would have been heading to Singapore earlier. I would have loved to be on a couple of the legs going over there, but I have a TP leaving Singapore on Oct 12.

I am surprised  Anthem and Quantum are not connecting in Singapore.

Quantum Singapore to Brisbane departs 19 November 2024.

Anthem apparently arrives Singapore 21 November.

Aussies would love a Southampton to Brisbane cruise.

Genuinely curious how many would sail for 50 nights.  I'm sure some would, but how many?

Heaps of Aussie cruisers would take up the opportunity. 

Princess charge a mint for this cruise on the world cruise each June from Sydney and Brisbane.

I’m on the Quantum repo from Singapore to Sydney and it doesn’t look like any ships in Singapore before it . There’s a celebrity from Singapore to Hong Kong that works and that’s it.

 I wouldn’t mind a cruise before it but doesn’t look good.
