I agree, New Zealand ports aren't likely to open either. They are better just to focus on the next Australian season from October 2021. Things "hopefully" should be much better then.

Based on all the above I can see the entire Summer 2020-2021 Australia/NZ/South Pacific season being cancelled at this stage.

Empress is heading to Malta right now.

Just a thought, if Majesty of the Seas could go to Cuba, surely one of the Vision Class ships could as well? It appears say comparing Majesty to Grandeur (or Rhapsody/Vision) there is only 11m difference in length. Could they not use one of these ships if Cuba opened in that case?

The current build schedule for Meyer Turku: Mardi Gras (Carnival) Due 2020 - Under Construction Costa Toscana (Costa) Due 2021 - Under Construction Unnamed (Carnival) Due 2022 Icon Class (RCI) Due 2022 Mein Schiff 7 (Tui) Due 2023 Icon Class 2 (RCI) Due 2024 Icon Class 2 (RCI) Due 2025

Yes only one season 20-21 down under it seems. Could it be headed for West Coast US?

Thats a stretch on "South Pacific" haha. But thats a good itinerary is it 2 days in Hobart on that one?

So the itineraries are now out, here’s my observations: • No Top End or Bottom End Australia itineraries • New port: Eden, Australia • Expanded season in Brisbane for Radiance of the Seas • Departure of both Voyager & Serenade for 21-22. • Quantum & Ovation doing similar itineraries • Otherwise a mixture of South Pacific, Australia & New Zealand itineraries.

Yes that's long been predicted. So it looks like only 3 ships for the 21-22 season as there was going to be 4 for the 20-21 season.

I just got a crown and anchor advance notice. The schedule will be out tommorow 11/06. So far confirmed deployment is: Ovation of the Seas & Quantum of the Seas (Out of Sydney) Radiance of the Seas (Out of Brisbane) Looks like Voyager is definitely leaving down under and also Serenade going by the above.

Originally the ship was meant to be ready for Q2 2021, so details should be coming soon I’d imagine. No sailings are even on sale yet.

Actually Dream Cruises based the ‘Explorer Dream’ out of Auckland over the summer 2019-20 for a series of 7 night cruises, from what I heard they were very popular! They did a total of 7 sailings and they went down to Milford & Doubtful Sound and a few other ports around NZ.

Ovation just turned back to Sydney, it was due in Bay of islands tommorow then Auckland, New Zealand. Also Radiance was meant to depart Sydney, Australia on a New Zealand Cruise today and is now anchoring in Sydney Harbour overnight, it will not be able to operate this cruise.

Interesting how still nothing for Liberty of the Seas post Oct 2021.

Hi there, yes you are right all trains to go to Circular Quay. We were staying near Bridge Street which is about 3 blocks south of Circular Quay which has a light rail stop right outside the hotel so much easier with luggage!
