RCIfan1912 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Posted November 17, 2022 So Oasis is going to Europe in summer 2024 which is interesting leaving us in NJ here. Wonder what will be coming here? Any guesses? When will the full 2024 itinerary be released so we will know? Quote
James K Posted November 18, 2022 Report Posted November 18, 2022 Oasis is doing the itinerary that Symphony is doing in 2023. So maybe your getting Symphony, unless she is coming back to Asia. RCIfan1912 1 Quote

karl_nj Posted November 18, 2022 Report Posted November 18, 2022 I don't know if any of the other Oasis class ships have the retractable funnels (or at least ones that work). They had to make updates to them for Oasis. It's possible there will be no Oasis class ship out of NYC in 2024. JohnK6404 and RCIfan1912 1 1 Quote

Mike6453 Posted November 18, 2022 Report Posted November 18, 2022 this was the first season with an oasis class (although technically delayed by covid) before that was a combination of explorer, Anthem and i believe liberty. As anthem will be in the UK/europe it will probably be either another Oasis class, perhaps wonder as she was built after oasis was updated, although there is no mention of adjustable stacks. or it will be an independence class.

My wife and I really need to book Anthem... we're hoping they add Bermuda back to some of the itineraries. We had booked a 12-night Southern Caribbean sailing many years ago on Anthem, but unfortunately we had to cancel. Love the convenience of Cape Liberty... less than 1.5 hour drive... sailed Explorer, Liberty and Oasis to date. Would be exciting to get a newer ship at Cape Liberty (or another amplified ship like Mariner)! Quote

LifesaBeach Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 Ooh this is interesting. I hope it’s something good! I’d actually prefer for it not to be Oasis class just because I like sailing something different. RCIfan1912 1 Quote

I thought the whole point in not having the indoor family pool on Odyssey was because she was slated to do warm weather cruises, Caribbean in winter and Med in summer. There is, however, speculation elsewhere that Anthem may stay in Europe and do a winter season there. Given that Celebrity appear to be trialling precisely that between November 2023 and March 2024 with Infinity, the possibility of Royal having a ship in Europe in winter in the future may not be too far-fetched. I guess time will tell. RCIfan1912 1 Quote

We are going on Anthem's last cruise from NJ before she comes back across the pond. I am hoping it will be a good bit warmer than your February cruise! RCIfan1912 1 Quote

Anthem is perfect here I think for winter. I totally agree, but before Anthem there weren't any RCL ships sailing out of NJ in the winter with an indoor pool anyway. Explorer of the Seas was here for ages, sailing out of NJ year round. Other than Anthem, the only other ship that sails out of the NY area on a regular basis that has an indoor pool available to all passengers irregardless of age or cabin category is QM2. I don't think any of the NCL ships have them. Quote

BrianB Posted November 20, 2022 Report Posted November 20, 2022 Anthem is perfect for NJ in winter because of the indoor pool….and the Solarium is completely enclosed and climate controlled. Love lounging in the Solarium, sipping a cold drink, as we sail out of New York harbor and under the bridge in winter…leaving behind the bitter cold along with the heavy cloud cover making darkness come ever earlier…watching the occasional ice pack floating by on the surface of the river……… MaryS, RCIfan1912, teddy and 2 others 4 1 Quote
