Maybe a repeat of that? Personally I've zero interest in any plans to have a private resort stop in the Caribbean. Little to no interest in cruising the Caribbean anyway and would honestly prefer they didn't have most of their ships there over the winter. I see you are in the UK. Where would you think that most of the ships should be in the winter or at least where else do you think they could fill ships in the winter? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reservation remains but sailings in those months show as "sold out." Don't think they'd do that for a change of a port. Maybe change of vessel? Full change of itinerary? Que Sera, sera.

Cap_D Posted June 27, 2023 #134 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Not that this in the cards and it's often a bit warm, but would access to a golf course be of interest? It's not a water slide, climbing wall, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swjumbo Posted June 27, 2023 #135 Share Posted June 27, 2023 MEYER WERFT! My brother has worked there for many years and I find this speculation about private island, RCL, blah, blah, blah, fascinating. Every Edge Class ship is going to this shipyard over the next few years to get the infinite balconies redesigned. Celebrity have a massive campaign ready and are putting the customers’ views to the forefront. Refreshing to tell us that, as a company, we got it wrong but will right the wrong! Common sense at last. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap_D Posted June 27, 2023 #143 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Someone will undoubtedly analyze this closer than me, but looks like the cruises start in May 2024 when typically there wouldn't be as much activity in the Caribbean due to heat, humidity, rain, and hurricanes. So, while CocoCay is a great substitute for Key West or Nassau (my take on how the itineraries vary from the usual combinations), how's the weather going to impact these bookings and enjoyment? Are Celebrity's current Caribbean sailings for Summer 2023 sold out, and is there another ~6k people (at full occupancy) roughly every other week that desire to travel in the Caribbean that time of year?

Only the Equinox is in the Caribbean in the summer of 2023. Reflection was already scheduled to be there for summer 2024, replacing Equinox. So, Beyond is the addition so they need to find about 3K people roughly every week ( looks like it’s doing 6day / 8day itineraries). Right now, the prices look typical, not very low. Maybe if initial bookings lag, they will come down. Now, if Beyond was sailing from PC…….. But for now I am awaiting my email cancelling my 11/1/2024 TA on Beyond 😞😞😞. mac_tlc Edited June 27, 2023 by mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xxpinksaltxx Posted June 27, 2023 #146 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Sailings are available to book on the Australian site, with Beyond and Reflection there for the summer season. May is full of 3/4 day cruises (on Reflection) with longer cruises available on Beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Honolulu Blue Posted June 27, 2023 #147 Share Posted June 27, 2023 14 hours ago, NutsAboutGolf said: Well done @Honolulu Blue! Perhaps you helped convince X that visiting could be possible My WAG (Wild A$$ Guess) is that the new CEO is having influence of getting RCL items over to X which is probably a mixed bag on average but I think it's a good idea Thanks, but I'm sure I don't wield that much influence. But the new boss DOES and could very well have put in a few choice words to Mr. Liberty to make this happen. My reaction is... whatever. I've only been to one private destination island in the Bahamas - Princess Cays. Since I'm not much of a beach or watersports person, and that's pretty much all that PC offers, I thought it was OK - but no more than that. I know that PD@CC offers more, but I'm not rushing to get there. But there's clearly an audience at X that will enjoy the stop. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8 day ones do the ABC islands. One 7 day itinerary mid May. Edited June 27, 2023 by mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
