It is up there for Anthem, but still looks to be cheaper than similar itineraries on Ovation next season. I haven't bothered with looking at Voyager at this stage.

I am pretty spoilt next year as it goes. 1/2 a world cruise and a 60th birthday cruise on my favourite [off-topic cruise line] ship. With that in mind, I am not really looking for anything else for the 2025 part anyway. What is new in 25/26 - the Wiggles, but we don't have young kids. I had a brief look at birthday #61 on an Anthem weekender or maybe the 5 night Hobart cruise in March, but that has passed-by and my wallet is still in my pocket. There is a serious lack of variety across all of our local itineraries. Once we get the big stuff out of the way next year, I think I will take a look at a Daytona 500 combo with B2B or S2S Caribbean itineraries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most inspiring thing I’ve seen on this Royal Caribbean thread since they released their 2025 -2026 Australian season . I reckon if you had some subliminal advertising in the background on the outrageous prices and repetitive itineraries that Royal have . You might be up for a advertising award of some description. I noticed they only deliver in the U.S , how do you receive the medallion here ? Is it in the cabin or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted April 13 #91 Share Posted April 13 @springaussie Any word on your repositioning cruise on Anthem Glen? Things seem to be taking a turn for the worse in the Red Sea area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Anthem cruises have been on the webpage more this week then other recent weeks. Surely it isn’t because of the Voyager cruises going on sale.

This was the virgin ships itinerary,I think you can expect something like it. I have the voyager repositioning through the Suez Canal booked and we have a plan B ready. At the moment we are going to fly home from Dubai but if it goes around the bottom of Africa ,We will fly home from Cape Town . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s the best example I can find because Royal Caribbean hasn’t diverted around the bottom of Africa I can find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGenCruiser Posted April 14 #97 Share Posted April 14 @Chiliburn Regarding Africa, Royal Caribbean's Ultimate World Cruise has changed course (sailing May/June 2024). Previously: 18 nights Dubai to Athens via Suez Canal 11 nights Athens to Istanbul 13 nights Istanbul to Ravenna Now: 18 nights Dubai to Cape Town 24 nights Cape Town to Ravenna The revised UWC itinerary as at 1 March was: Since then, the UWC has switched Ivory Coast with a second port in Ghana due to strict visa and vaccine requirements. Ghana requires visas for all guests and all onboard must be vaccinated against yellow fever (even if not getting off the ship). I am not sure that Anthem or Voyager would call at Ghana and Ivory Coast because of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager should have been coming to Oz on something similar via Cape Town and Fremantle. But by the sounds of it the Singapore to Brisbane sector has seen heaps of cabins sold.and I cannot see that changing while Voyager is still the ship for Brisbane. But good luck Royal to change things in a hurry for your Voyager repositioning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than going ape about it!! We have quite a few friends on Virgin at present, and they are having a great time. They are however, quite a bit out of pocket after not being reimbursed for out-of-pocket cancellation of tours. It would have been much worse if they had only been doing part of the trip and disembarking in Singapore or Dubai. Any cancelled flights weren't compensated. I am sure Royal would be much better, but it will be hard to commit money to flights while it is all so uncertain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at Singapore airlines to Germany and they offer cancellation upto 24 hours before departure ,with only $250 penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
