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.

 

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?

I'm your huckleberry for sure! I'd have to plan accordingly but I get about 6 weeks a year of paid vacation time lol.

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.

I remember the Ovation repo from Southampton to Shanghai… there were quite a few that did the whole trip - over 100 iirc 

There were 2 separate lines in Southampton.. one for those going to Dubai/Singapore/Shanghai and one for those just going to Barcelona- sadly I was in the latter one!

I remember those lines. I only went to Barcelona on that one.

The weather was appalling the whole way!

IIRC the internet on Spectrum was pretty bad for her repo to Asia.  Maybe now with Starlink on Anthem the repo can have decent internet for any "Live from" trip reports.

Back in 2018 Mariner was scheduled for 43 nights, heading to Dubai, Barcelona and then Miami.  The last leg got cancelled, but about a 1,000 of us took The Carnival Horizon from Barcelona to NYC, after spending 2 nights in Barcelona.  Would do it again.

And there was the Explorer Sydney to Southampton in 2019… didn’t about 800 do the whole trip? A lot of booze 🍻 and pies 🥧 on that one! Great atmosphere.. again I only did the Barcelona Southampton leg but there were still 🥧 left!

I just finished 54 nights on Ovation in May. It was a bit long for me, but for the right itinerary, I could do that many again. Of course, it depends on price also. 3 of my legs were shifted for 3 years, so they had original prices. But I am at solo discount now, so that would definitely help.
