Or were they more varied? We did indy from southampton around the canaries and back to southampton, 2 weeks cruise. Anthem at the time was one week around the uk and other time we went on her was from new york to Bermuda. Personally for us we prefer the layout of indy and that was before she was amp,d. I believe anthem did the same down to the med and back but the cost was high compaired with other cruise lines doing the same from Southampton, or even including flights to europe and around the eastern med. So we discounted that cruise. I am very surprised how behind the competition royal is, esp releasing summer 25 bookings.

Rare Tree_skier Posted July 15, 2023 #56 Share Posted July 15, 2023 So this would mean that indy will do a Miami to Southampton TA. Isn't that unusual? I thought it was always Cape Liberty to Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was always Cape Liberty to Southampton. it’s not unusual. When Indy and other ships were based in UK in the past the TA was always from the previous homeport. This has just happened to be Cape Liberty over the past few years, with Anthem being the ship deployed from Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing spedial - she did this many years before...only difference is : usuallay these TA's will not stop in Europe - but will have 2-3 Caribbean islands before crossing and ending in SOU or the same route on the return.

I’m really pleased that more lines are starting to offer off-season cruises. It’s 100% my preferred time for the Mediterranean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can’t help but wonder if Harmony could be a placeholder for ‘Icon 2’ similar to how it was for Icon OTS, as bookings start to appear around the time we expect her to debut. Although, would they really have Icon and Icon 2 sailing to the same ports in the Caribbean? May 2025: 1st May - Vision OTS 1st May - Wonder OTS 5th May - Symphony OTS 5th May - Liberty OTS 6th May - Icon OTS 7th May - Oasis OTS 14th May - Wonder OTS 27th May - Rhapsody OTS 28th May - Wonder OTS June 2025: 2nd June - Liberty OTS 3rd June - Icon OTS 4th June - Oasis OTS 11th June - Rhapsody OTS 12th June - Wonder OTS 18th June - Rhapsody OTS 25th June - Rhapsody OTS 26th June - Wonder OTS 30th June - Liberty OTS July 2025: 3rd July - Oasis OTS 9th July - Rhapsody OTS 15th July - Icon OTS 16th July - Rhapsody OTS 23rd July - Rhapsody OTS 28th July - Liberty OTS 30th July - Oasis OTS August 2025: 6th August - Rhapsody OTS 7th August - Harmony OTS 13th August - Rhapsody OTS 20th August - Rhapsody OTS 25th August - Liberty OTS 26th August - Icon OTS 27th August - Oasis OTS 28th August - Harmony OTS September 2025: 3rd September - Rhapsody OTS 6th September - Jewel OTS 10th September - Rhapsody OTS 17th September - Rhapsody OTS 18th September - Harmony OTS 24th September - Oasis OTS October 2025: 1st October - Rhapsody OTS 7th October - Icon OTS 8th October - Rhapsody OTS 9th October - Harmony OTS 15th October - Rhapsody OTS 22nd October - Oasis OTS 29th October - Rhapsody OTS 30th October - Harmony OTS November 2025: 9th November - Odyssey OTS Liberty's frequency would be consistent with sailing out of the northeast again.

Wasn't she supposed to be in drydock with the amplification work for a total of 4 weeks originally in 2020? I can't imagine them splitting the work like that, especially two trips that far apart. I just wonder what gets done and what doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy4life9 Posted July 18, 2023 #66 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Any ideas on what ships will be calling on Bermuda in 2025? I was hoping Odyssey would stay, so seeing it in Europe dashed my hopes. I’m assuming it will be another season of Liberty… 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own but I will not be travelling to Haifa and it looks like the December Holiday Season will be from there.

GlasgowCruiser01 Posted July 18, 2023 #69 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I don't feel easy travelling to Israel or Dubai for that matter.

Agree, I only know Balcony's also. Booked Panama Canal Fall 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The 2024 were a lot higher day of release then 2023. When 2025 come out bet they will be even Higher yet, getting back to outrageous Pre-CV PC prices Edited July 19, 2023 by ONECRUISER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
