Will China phase 1 include Wonder of the Seas? Or will this be separate?

Put Ovation and Serenade down for Alaska as two cruises have been released..

I wonder if they would take Wonder of the Seas from Shanghai to Lelepa? Just eyeing a map though it looks a little too far. Or something like Shanghai -> Lelepa -> Brisbane

Yes, Sydney Port Authority have an unnamed RCI ship on the cruise schedule year round starting end 2021.

Exactly what this region needed! Lines up with the ‘unnamed’ ship (Quantum) departing Sydney year round from 2022 SOLD! - Get me on the first ship there!!

My daughter auditioned in general dancer auditions a few weeks ago.. she made it through to the end, where they then took her resume, headshot, body measurements, etc. Now waiting to hear if she will be offered a contract for any shows. Fingers crossed!

? Bit of a general statement there.. I'm Australian please point out where I was moaning? The only thing I would probably moan about is if I had to live in your depressing country!

Well they now have a reason with an Oasis class on this side of the world. They should do all they can to lure it here for a season.

With the Wonder of the Seas announcement today that it will sail from Asia, I think its almost definite now that we will get Quantum.

Well it's at least on the right side of the world, that's a good start. Not sure I'm a fan of sailing out of China, but I'll take one for the team and post the photos here!

Yes, it's already showing up on some port schedules around the Aus/NZ region for 2022.

Someone also on there saying that on the final sailing that some venues had been closed and they we're already pulling them apart. They weren't very happy.

"We'll paint the hull blue and maybe they wont notice anything missing!" Personally I like the different colour hull on Oasis and Quantum. Interested to see how it's going to work on Voyager.

Just booked.. looking forward to seeing more pics as they come through.

Explorer was always going to get the full treatment as it's doing Coco Cay itineraries. We can only home it comes back to Australia after the hype over there dies down.

Maybe they should stop advertising it on their website. It is still available to book.

Would love to book.. but no thanks Royal. You can keep your discount. I don't understand their motives here? Usually price conversion on other ships is within an acceptable range. I booked Harmony and Symphony for almost the same price when they were released. Do MEI take international customers?

I get that but it's almost double the US price! So after currency conversion it is still over $1200 more expensive.

What the actual??

Yeah.. think I'll book on the US website and save $1000+!

Cruises are up on the Australian site..!!

It's almost $500 AUD more for a comparable itinerary on Symphony. I get the new ship fever... but it seems 'Ultra' expensive! ?
