F1guynz Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I wouldn’t expect any news soon. It is still on hold with no timeline for any work to start on it. if it goes ahead I don’t think it will be before 2027/28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1guynz Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 36 minutes ago, ApexoftheSeas said: Perfect timing for Oasis 7 Most south pacific ports are tendered so unless sometime changes I don't see it as an option much as I would like it as an option. Given the current pricing of Royal cruises it would probably be too expensive and Royal would get more revenue in the US. Chili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 The money that RCG would have to invest, Lelepa would not be viable. 3 ships here for 6 months a year ,it’s not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWofPerth Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I expect it will be quietly shelved at some point. Baked Alaska and Chili 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1guynz Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 On the plus side Mystery Island may get some upgrades, but if Carnival is footing the bill will Royal still be able go there. https://www.dailypost.vu/news/vt2-billion-mystery-island-tourism-upgrade/article_dcd695b2-4d09-5006-bea4-ed3f482daa7c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattymay Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 When it was supposed to open in 2022, Sydney cruise ship schedule had an RCL 'unnamed vessel' year round. Thanks covid. Can Noumea take an Oasis? It could do round trip Brisbane - Noumea - Lelepa. Similar to Florida - Nassau - CocoCay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure Noumea can take a Oasis .The dock is long enough and it has 50 tonne bollards. Its a bit hard to find any information unless you read French.

That island Iririki was or is for sale .Thats the resort in the bay . They could get revenue year round without a ship . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see the investment being viable ,just for 3-4 ships in Australia for 6 months a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattymay Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Before COVID Quantum was on the Sydney schedule year round. I think the plan was to always have a ship here doing round trips to Lelepa. There will be Star and Icon 3 by 2026, and Oasis 7 sometime after that which should shuffle things around a bit. Maybe free up a Q class all year?
