All eyes on 8-Aug.. first ship attempting a South Pacific. If this fails Ovation will be doing circles off the coast of NSW.

Gavin will deploy a ship soon just so he doesn't have to respond to your emails any longer! 😄
I've priced out a September Ocean Getaway for 3 in a balcony stateroom and I'm not sure the price (flights, pre and post-cruise hotel, pre-cruise RAT, cruise) is worth the cost for 3 nighter to nowhere.

I see P&O have now changed their first South Pacific itinerary to a Great Barrier Reef sailing. 
NZ should be fine by October, not sure about the islands.

I'm guessing it's a yes if you can arrive by boat

Carnival pulled the ships when there was still no clear path to a restart. I am guessing Royal made the same plans but didn't announce it at the time. They've waited until after the restart was announced which has some people confused as to why pull out when a restart is near, but I am guessing these plans were already well underway behind the scenes.

Same, now the entry requirements into Singapore and returning have been relaxed it's possibly worthwhile now.
Although be careful on itinerary.. Royal are being pretty dodgy and selling cruises that aren't even possible. Thailand have not approved ships to enter their country as of yet.
Sorry, I'm dark on them at the moment. Royal customer service is terrible. Trying to get a deposit back from October. Keep telling me to wait 45 days, call back after 45 days, nothing done about it, they escalate to supervisor which then takes another 45 days, wait 45 days, repeat all over again. Useless! Will take your money in an instant but when it comes to giving it back.. no one at that company knows what TF they are doing.

Looks like Symphony, Odyssey, Anthem, Explorer, Voyager, Brilliance, Jewel, Rhapsody and Serenade will be doing Europe 
 

It will be in Alaska though, that's a 99.99% chance it's coming here. Unless they change that as well.

It even seemed crowded when we went there on Pacific Dawn in 2010.

Here's what you are missing out for..

so no trip to the States then? I'm considering it. 23/24 release wasn't overly inspiring.
 
Anyone know why Quantum and Ovation can't tender at Isle of Pines and Lifou?

All 2023-24 Australian season is now uploaded on RCI site. One interesting one is the "Circle Australia" itinerary is back with Enchantment. Otherwise the usual mix of NZ, South Pacific & Short cruises.

To be fair most of the blame should go to the Australian government for being the worlds slowest at return to cruising.

My agent said there’s no replacement for Radiance.
Royal is hoping to move everyone to next season on enchantment.

Must be vaxxed. Masks only required on embarkation and disembarkation.

The fact they have put out media saying Australia October 2022, I don't think it will happen.
