Looks like UDP is the only thing NOT included....and who would want that for 274 straight days anyway. On Serenade UDP would get old pretty fast.

Well you could always let your boss know you'll be on frequent breaks! Maybe convince your boss that the cruise is work related and you'll write a report on "opportunities for partnerships and business expansion!"

rjac Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just received an email from Royal regarding the subject. For Diamond and above members, on the Serenade. I would go nuts on a small ship like the Serenade for a cruise this long! Here's a partial cut and paste: ALL FOUR CORNERS. ONE EPIC VOYAGE. Get ready for a hemisphere hopping expedition that’s going to top any voyage in your cruise history. As a loyal Crown & Anchor® Society member, you’re the first to hear about the Ultimate World CruiseSM onboard Serenade of the Seas®.

All while bonding with new friends and like-minded explorers. This is the world cruise of world cruises — debuting December 2023. YOUR PRIORITY BOOKING WINDOW As a valued DIAMOND member, book now during your priority window through October 26, 2021 to secure your spot and favorite stateroom.

Zacharius Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I would love a smaller ship like that. 57 ports is plenty of time to get off the ship for me, and then when onboard I can do some work, watch movies, read books, look out at the world go by. I would hate a mega-ship for a cruise like this. PRebecca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I just did a cost analysis for a balcony cabin for us. If we take no cruises next year and this is our cruises for 2023 and 2024, the cost on food, wine, and gasoline we would save, our final cost would be about $55000 each including taxes/fees and insurance. Wow that really reduces the cost down from $83500 each. We can now book it. LOL Hubby said he might consider it if we sold the RV. Hmmmmm.
