Like most decisions, this is likely driven by $ revenue - RCI can make more some place else. Also, some ports may have restrictions limiting itineraries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they drop I get them to drop the group price to match it. Just need to know who to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_apples Posted August 20 #207 Share Posted August 20 Brisbane has updated their cruise ship port schedule from October 2026 - September 2027. There is currently no royal ship from Brisbane at this point and time for the 2026-2027 australia season… Compared Anthem to already be showing up in Sydney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly 5/7 night cruises plus a few 9 night. Just one 12 night. None of the 14 nights down into the Med they've had in the past. Most Brits have 4 to 6 weeks annual holiday plus a lot of retired folk like to sail from their local port with no flying, so the longer cruises are very popular. Seems like they are giving away the UK market share to other cruise lines. Makes me wonder what RC UK office is doing to fight our corner 🤔 Fingers crossed things improve summer of '26 Hello, I think Michael Bayley has 'gone native'.

If Odyssey is going to be in the Azores March 7th as Jumping Cruiser said, then I’m assuming an early transatlantic for Odyssey. Curious what ship RCCL will bring up early for Bayonne? There's no way there won't be a ship sailing out of there, especially in March when it's peak Spring break time. So whatever two ships are planned that summer, one will just arrive a month earlier that usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Cublet I enjoyed the C4 programme and the Icon is a lovely ship but there are too many people onboard for me. @cublet...my self imposed lack of interest is that I can do 2 or 3 cruises on older ships for the same price of a 7 night in an inside cabin on Icon and I am all about the best way to aquire those C & A points!

Though it includes my Pinnacle, SOLO and even Military Disc on some Sailings still been able Book Radiance Class doing 9-16 niters in Balcony Aft(Sunset Rate) Cabins for total of between $90-$120 USD a nite on multiple Cruises. Will leave the Ships carrying 120% Capacity, Cruises with 8000-10000 passengers/crew to my Kids and everyone else. Choice, but an easy one for me 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met two English couples on board who had booked b2b precisely to be able to enjoy the ports and the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
