Will be on Pacific Adventure in a few weeks with our 7 month old grand daughter. Will let you know how it goes I'm guessing a portacot is the best option. I think they have them on Royal ships.
-
It ends in school holidays so there is potential for more expensive flights.
-
I've booked the Singapore repo so that one works, but I guess the China dates are the test load for next weeks release. Perhaps one of the Q's is sharing with Singapore half year? There is not much left for Singapore release assuming Anthem and Voyager are for Australia. Only Radiance and Serenade.

Anthem needs to get through in Oct 2024 to start it's Singapore season. Voyager has until Nov 2025.
-
Most likely, but clearly Virgin don't think it's worth the trouble. I guess they only have 4 ships, where Royal has to put them all somewhere I suppose.
-
Interesting to see how this affects Anthem and Voyager who both need to make their way into the Pacific over the next few years.
-
This is getting confusing, I see what you are saying but the '25 Alaska season is already confirmed with Anthem and Quantum. Are you saying they would add Ovation to that?
-
Makes sense, straight swap with Singapore for Anthem. I wonder where it is going for the winter?
-
Not sure, however I think that pretty much confirms that Anthem will be in Sydney.
-
When it was supposed to open in 2022, Sydney cruise ship schedule had an RCL 'unnamed vessel' year round. Thanks covid. Can Noumea take an Oasis? It could do round trip Brisbane - Noumea - Lelepa. Similar to Florida - Nassau - CocoCay.
-
Did it ever say Anthem? I've only ever seen it say unnamed vessel for 25/26 so far.
-
Well there are OPT port bookings for 25/26, so hypothetically even if the captain of Independence was correct, he's talking at least 26/27 season. I'm sure lots can change in 3 years.
-
The only way there would be no RCL Quantum class sailing out of Sydney harbour is if something bigger were coming that couldn't fit there. 3 Icon and 6 Oasis in the next few years, it's getting a bit top heavy in the northern hemisphere lol. You never know I guess!
-
That's the new itinerary just released to bypass the Suez. Maybe they are thinking it's not worth bringing it back around Africa in 6 months? They were switching it over for Valiant Lady the year after, so will be interesting to see what happens with that ship rather than Resilient Lady as it was leaving anyways.
-
Slight re-arrangement for Quantum after the Ovation cancellation by the looks of it.. A one way to Sydney, then 21 day Transpacific available to book.
-

This does not surprise me! Their itineraries are worse than Royal Caribbean. I mean who really wants to cruise to Burnie in Tasmania. I did it to test out the ship, and it was great, but a chilly 17 degrees in the middle of summer is not what people want.
-
Probably just more of the same South Pacific and New Zealand. Not sure if it's a size thing or covid, but hopefully Voyager can get into some of the other ports - Lifou, Mare, Isle of Pines, Santo, Suva, Port Denarau, Dravuni Island. That would definitely interest me.
-
No idea to be honest. But based on the number of dates for Sydney I am guessing only one ship. Same for Brisbane, might not be Voyager like it states but is still only enough bookings for one ship.
-
Based off the information so far there are currently 4 ships in the mix: Preceding Alaska season with Quantum, Anthem and Radiance. Brisbane port bookings for Voyager.
-
Anyone have any theories about the Quantum transpacific cancellation?
-
I was just on Virgin last week out of Melbourne and it's a similar thing. The local P&O line doesn't, but not sure about the other Carnival brands.
