Jade of the Seas Pearl of the Seas Gem of the Seas Emerald of the Seas Ruby of the Seas Sapphire of the Seas Reconnaissance of the Sea Even more Voyager class ships: Orbiter of the Seas Surveyor of the Seas Observer of the Seas

Queen would make sense, but due to naming traditions and the way we address ships, I don't think calling a ship "King" would work, since we refer to ships as "her" or "she". (Royal Caribbean ones at least)

I mean they can't avoid P-named ships forever. There's only so many words in the English language I guess you could do PoTS to help remedy it being called POS?

I'm kinda bored so let's play a game What do you think Royal could name their ships in the future? Here's a bunch that I thought of maybe like; Pleasure of the Seas Joy of the Seas & Nirvana of the Seas (these two were already trademarked, so who knows) Celebration of the Seas Solace of the Seas (this one is a bit iffy) Euphoria of the Seas (also trademarked already) Maybe a new class? Excellence class and the namesake ship will be called Excellence of the Seas? Maybe the second ship of the Icon-class will be called something like Celebrity of the Seas

Yep, I've already emailed them and asked.

Hmm, that's probably why. Oh well.

I think I'll email the CAS, calling them....from Australia, would cost more than a cruise itself

Digging through my emails - I found out this was what I paid, Not sure what any of these mean...

I know I'm 5 years too late asking this question, but I got curious, so thought I might as well ask, I sailed on Ovation back in 2017, and booked an Interior room with a virtual balcony - which according to Royal Caribbean's website, has an occupancy of up to 4 people, but I was a solo cruiser, when I got back I had 14 CAS points (which is the number of nights I sailed) but recently, I've been seeing/hearing that you apparently you get double points if you travel solo in a double occupancy room (which I'm assuming an interior with virtual balcony is) or am I wrong. Thanks for any and all clarification.

I think it also just depends on the ports and where the ship is going to, when I travelled on Ovation back in 2017 from Sydney to Singapore, it definitely did feel like she was catered more towards the Chinese market, there were also a lot more Asian passengers on board, so I guess it depends on the itinerary The NorthStar was free when I sailed on her though, but if costs money now.... that's a shame

I always like to say it depends. If you plan on spending lots of time in your room, I'd go with a Balcony, but if you're the kind of person who doesn't spend a lot of time in their room and use it just for sleeping, showering and changing in, then an Inside Cabin should be fine. When I sailed on Ovation back in 201 7, I found myself attending so many of the activities on board that I never really spent time in my room except to sleep, shower, sometimes maybe if I wanted to just relax, I'd watch a movie in my room, but other than that, I didn't really mind not having a balcony, but I guess it also depends on the itinerary, when I sailed on Celebrity during my Alaska cruise, a balcony was perfect because I could just see the incredible sights from my room, but the Ovation itinerary was basically the Indian Ocean lol..

I guess before now, I hadn't really thought about it, because I didn't really have money to go on cruises. But now that I'm working and have money, I am willing to actually spend money to cruise... Must be so expensive though, having to fly to different ports each time or are domestic flights within the United States a lot cheaper?

There's so many cruises I want to go on, but plane tickets literally cost an arm and a leg just to get to that port...

I guess I'd be willing to travel more overseas if I had someone to go with me on cruises...but also there's the issue of money for me Hoping one day to do a round trip of Europe! The only time I travelled overseas for a cruise was when we did a 7N to Alaska from Vancouver on Celebrity Infinity WAY back in 2017

Yeah, I looked at the South Pacific and the New Zealand ones and I actually considered booking those, but not sure about the current COVID protocols, especially in the smaller South Pacific ports. Funnily enough, I actually did have a look at the Honolulu to Sydney Transpacific cruise, I would just need to fly into Honolulu and then cruise back home to Sydney, just deciding if I want to sail on Enchantment or Ovation (I've already sailed on her back in 2017) But also I don't know if I want to go solo or with someone.

I figured that was the case, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the info

I've tried looking at cruises that Royal Caribbean does (but cannot find anything, lol) where it's like a way one cruise so somewhere like Hawaii to Sydney and then I wouldn't have to buy a planet ticket back from Hawaii, I'd just have to buy a plane ticket there, and take the cruise back home lol.

Yikes, I had no idea lol. I figured in the United States, you'd just be able to get on a plane, fly to somewhere like Port Canaveral and get on the ships pretty easily, but seems like it's as much of a hassle as it is down here in Australia lol, but also.... I just wish the itineraries for Australian cruises were more varied, it's always either New Zealand, parts of Australia (which I've already been to) or the South Pacific (at least for Royal Caribbean that is, I know other cruise lines go to Asia and sometimes there's repositioning cruises but those are far and few)

I was having a look at the cruise timetable for the Overseas Passenger Terminal located in Circular Quay in Sydney and noticed a sailing for Radiance of the Seas... but then when I had a look on Royal's website for cruises starting in October, the earliest one was October 29th.... what's the deal with this? I'm guessing this was either a leftover cruise from before COVID and the cruising industry was shutdown in Australia and all Radiance sailings were cancelled or it's a mistake of some sort.
