Mikewa Posted September 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Did Alaska August 5 - Ovation of the Seas. One of the best vacations we've ever had. Love cruising. Been on a few over the years, but still don't consider myself an expert. Loved Alaska and love the large cruise ships (Ovation was amazing!). Anyway, we are looking for something maybe fall of 2023. Just trying to get some ideas. Want to stay with Royal. I know kind of a broad request, but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

crzndeb Posted September 3, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Expand to other countries and continents. If Fall of 2023, either a TA or a TP. Both are amazing. Have done several of both and have a TA planned in Oct. and a TP planned in April. Do you have the time, or are limited on days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted September 3, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Just now, Jimbo said: Why? or is it sailings for 2023 just haven't been released yet? I do not think that is the case. We sailed the Baltic this year, too. We loved it. However, the ships in the Baltic are not full or even close. [we had just 1,300 on Voyager] I think that without St Petersburg they do not feel they will be able to fill their ships and make money. Ot they can make more money elsewhere. I do think anyone thinks St Petersburg will be a port stop in 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplashOfWater Posted September 3, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Canada and New England is a great fall cruise. No guarantee you will see the foliage changing but lots of great places to visit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramja96 Posted September 3, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I guess it's just me - I really don't care that much about the itinerary. For me, it's more about the ship. If I was forced to make a choice - I guess I would say my preference leans towards the Caribbean. I'm a warm weather person. (BTW - did Alaska. It was good, but once was enough.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted September 3, 2022 #18 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Norway: But yeah. Branch out. Lots of European cruise itineraries out there. In addition to other things already mentioned, Australian, New Zealand, & a Pacific TA on our list to do at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikewa Posted September 3, 2022 Author #19 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Thanks so much for all your opinions. Can't say you made the choice any easier - just the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say you made the choice any easier - just the opposite. We have had three Oasis Class transatlantic sailings. Love sea days and those cruises were about the best we have ever had. We had a 7 night Harmony cruise followed by a 15 night TA back to FLL booked for 2019 but thanks to covid it was cancelled, we were really looking forward to it.

Rare skyking Posted September 4, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 4, 2022 In June we sailed on the Anthem from Southampton to France and Spain. It was the BEST cruise of all of them, highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltic Cruise, but wait a bit and hope St. Petersburg comes back. Norwegian Fiords South America with Antarctic Cruise out of Dubai that visits Khasab (great fiords) and Muscat Japan during Cherry Blossom time New Zealand Panama Canal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fontaid Posted September 4, 2022 #24 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Try the Galapagos Islands on the Celebrity Xpedition. It's a unique cruise that Celebrity does right in so many ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbbquilterUT Posted September 4, 2022 #25 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Just back from B2B - Iceland, Ireland, Norway on Celebrity. Absolutely brilliant countries and each was different. Also, boarding in Amsterdam was amazing - walk from hotel, on board in less than 15". And use some time to visit a new city prior to embarkation.
