Matt 10,929 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 As many of you know, Royal Caribbean will begin releasing its 2018-2019 itineraries on the week of March 6: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2017/01/24/royal-caribbean-announces-2018-2019-deployment-opening-schedule-dates Please use this thread to discuss changes you see of interest, as well as any particularly good deals. Personally, I'm always interested in odd-ball sailings, like a weekend sailing on a ship that does not offer it usually.

Jerel 358 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Me and Jessica are curious to see it this sailing is repeated next year. They only do one a year apparently, may of even just been a one off. Looks really interesting though, since we live in Halifax we could just get off in our port to save on a return flight, making it a 14 day sailing. Don't think we can do it though, it's a long sailing and have other hopefull plans for the fall. But I coined a new phrase, 'book first, think later'. Prices are in Canadian and should be better next week, if they repeat the sailing that is. https://secure.royalcaribbean.com/cruises/15NightCopenhagenToBostonCruise-SR15T079?currencyCode=CAD&sCruiseType=CO&sDateMin=2017-08-01&sDateMax=2017-08-31&crownAndAnchorSociety_memberId=364904184&loyaltyTier=P&sailDate=08%2F26%2F2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sinbad 2 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Jerel, We did this cruise in 2015, and it was amazing. You have to go to Iceland at least once in your life. We really enjoyed Oslo, Halifax, and the Faroes as well. I love the Radiance class ships too. I definitely would recommend booking it now, and figuring everything out later!

DocLC 2,014 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 We did something similar without the trans Atlantic part, and the itinerary was awesome. I absolutely loved Norway and Iceland. Why would someone would want to go to Halifax, though? ;) FYI, the Halifax comment is a joke, so don't assume I was being literal. I've been a couple of times by cruise ship and loved it each time. The lobster and the poutine were also quite good. Jerel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L454S 248 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes, it's done once a year. We were on it this past August. Not to be missed. Avatar is from that trip. They changed it a bit for this coming trip. We had16 days, 4 days in Iceland, 3 ports. Overnight in Reykjavik. This year they dropped one Iceland port and shortened the trip to 15 days.

Wilson 308 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I got up at midnight to.check out the new releases. Obviously I did not read that it was "the week of March 6". LoL J_Keeble, Big Dawg Ron and RestingBird 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davelliott 40 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The next cruise woman on Harmony said that we should check the next cruise office every day this week as she had exciting news coming out! She said that she couldn't say exactly what or when but that we have news this week while onboard! Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheParkers 21 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 My prediction: The email I got yesterday said the new cabin recategorization will begin March 8th (Wednesday). If you look at the current sale countdown on the RCCL website based on the hours left in the sale it will end at midnight tomorrow night (Tuesday night). Just in time for March 8th, new sales and new itineraries. Just me speculating but it seems to make sense. MNorris0107 and RestingBird 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 10,929 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The date floating around is the 8th for a release. coneyraven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mathbees 89 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hmm... I'm attempting some deductive reasoning while looking at the RCL booking site... There's a banner saying the current sale ends in 36:50 (currently at 9:10 Mountain/11:10 am Eastern) on March 6. Assuming the sale will end before the new itineraries are announced does indeed seem to indicate that March 8 is a likely date. Of course, it could be at or beyond that time....

Sweety 1,398 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The date floating around is the 8th for a release. That's what I heard March 8. Yes! I am ready! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLMoran 6,785 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I've emailed my TA to book my wife and me a cabin on an early September to mid-October 2018 5-night Bermuda cruise out of Cape Liberty as soon as she sees the itineraries. Hoping a good balcony will be within my budget (yes, I set one this time ;) ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RBRSKI 553 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 The one attachment shows it based in Miami which makes sense because of the new terminal they are building. We were on the inaugural Thanksgiving sailing for the Harmony hopefully we can do the same for the Symphony!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruising diva 20 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 New (tweaked) release schedule What does Phase 1 mean for the Caribbean posting this week? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FloatMe 202 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 What does Phase 1 mean for the Caribbean posting this week? Thanks! Probably it will be just Symphony of the Seas? Guessing. OrionJus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest toodle68 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 What does Phase 1 mean for the Caribbean posting this week? Thanks! Someone once said one was seasonal sailings and the other was year round schedules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruising diva 20 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Someone once said one was seasonal sailings and the other was year round schedules. Thanks! Guess we will find out when the scheduling starts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firegal2539 207 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 According to Tapatalk, Symphony of the Seas is selling right now, but you have to call the Crown and Anchor Society number, no other number works, they tell you Wednesday. Crown and Anchor is booking, about 20 people have booked the Transatlantic on December 10, 2018. Balconies are going for about $3200 for 2 people. As I said this is according to postings on Tapatalk.
