coneyraven 2,107 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 This is a new one ..... they just released a couple of sailings on Grandeur in 2022 that start/end at Barbados. Wow. Looks like I need to relocate closer to my precious Lady G. The pricing and the couple of itineraries released are definitely in a "WOW" world.....dang. And the pricing is good to. You just need to get there. sk8erguy1978, ehw51, Curt From Canada and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I wonder if the 7-nighter might be in play. ehw51 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coneyraven 2,107 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 Makes me wonder if these itineraries were revealed prematurely ..... you never know with the RC web site .... WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coneyraven 2,107 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 Those days in which it doesn't say "Sea Day" but has a time..... It almost looks like they're trying to fit in another port within those times. That would be incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt From Canada 321 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 @coneyraven 14 days is a problem. However, I am ready to quit my job to sail on Lady G again (especially with that itinerary). The Centrum is one our favourite places at sea to go dancing. (We have even danced in the Centrum elevators). How far can Bridgetown, Barbados be from Baltimore ... They all start with letter "B", so they must be really, really close. Curt from Canada FionaMG, coneyraven, Ogilthorpe and 5 others 1 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobroo 457 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Perhaps just as exciting are the new port stops in St Vincent and Trinidad. Well......maybe they are porting in these places. When you go to book those stops are omitted from the itinerary. So who knows??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt From Canada 321 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 They may have taken down all Grandeur "sailings", but they can not take my dreams away. This one will become my home page on my computer ... until they make good on an "implied promise" Every night before I go to bed, dreams of Grandeur will dance in my head.

coneyraven 2,107 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 27 minutes ago, Matt said: Moreover, Grandeur is not an option to pick from in the drop down The way I found it was going in through "Ships" --- then selecting Grandeur, and lo and behold, sailings pop up ---- what really made it so wonky is that all the descriptions of the ship still referenced Baltimore, Bermuda and Canada sailings and such. Also, the sailing having times on certain days without a port or mentioning a Sea Day tells me things are still being put together. I think we unintentionally just got a sneak peak at things to come. New and creative itineraries, which seems to be the trend. For examples, sailings from Florida going to Bermuda --- that's new stuff right there.

WAAAYTOOO 11,944 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I guess the idea of Barbados as an embarkation port shouldn’t come as such a surprise. During the worst of the COVID travel restrictions, Barbados was one of the only countries that allowed crew to fly in and out from. I think it would be great if Royal rewarded Barbados by making it an embarkation port. There are those posters who have advocated, for some time, that Royal should have a Caribbean embarkation port. Perhaps this will be it ! SPS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coneyraven 2,107 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 I wonder what airlines fly in and out of Barbados Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 11,944 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Well, I can get there on American via Charlotte. Not sure what other airlines fly into Bridgetown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

American flies to Charlotte everyday from my closest airport (Flint Bishop Airport, 15 minutes away). This just keeps getting more appealing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
