Thread: Royal Caribbean to home port Adventure of the seas in Malaga, Spain

As of now, yes. Rumour is that the Voyager of the Seas will not return to the Mediterranean for the 2010 season.
The Adventure of the seas is doing 25 voyages out of Malaga between June 26 and November 28 2010. Then ofcourse also the Trans Atlantic cruises.
People are already speculating as to which ship, if any, will replace her in the Caribbean.
Another Voyager class ship is mentioned so is also a Freedom class ship.

When we were on our Mariner cruise in October, we went to the Captain's Notes briefing and after the powerpoint on the new Oasis OTS, we discussed the relocation of all the ships.
Because of the size of the Oasis class ships, they at this point can only go to the itineraries available on the Eastern Caribbean route leaving from Miami (until new piers are built on other islands like Antigua and St. Kitts which are being considered). But this would mean too many RCCL ships leaving from that port so they planned to move the Liberty to PR to do the Adventure's routes. I had been wondering until now, where they would be moving the Adventure.

It would make sense to put Liberty of the seas - a Freedom class ship- sailing out of San Juan.

Sonja, both Oasis Class ships will be sailing from Ft Lauderdale, (Port Everglades) not Miami, as per Royal Caribbean. Now if you all were told Liberty Of The Seas will reposition to PR, and Royal Caribbean has announced that Freedom Of The Seas is repositioning to Port Canaveral in Sept. 2009, then it means there will be no large RC ships from Miami, and guests residing in the Keys, Miami areas, around the country and the world, will have to travel to Ft Lauderdale to board the Oasis Class ships.(unless I missed something).

According to Royal Caribbean`s port agent in San Juan, Continental Shipping, the Radiance class ship Serenade of the seas will replace the Adventure of the seas. However the Serenade of the seas is only confirmed to sail its Southern Caribbean itenaries between November 2009 and April 2010.
A spokeswoman from Royal Caribbean in the UK says the Adventure of the seas will head for Barcelona, Spain May 2 2010. The ship will offer eight 4 and 5 nights cruises from the Catalan capital until repositioned to Malaga.

Royal Caribbean will release all their 2010 itineraries between March and June this year.

Hmm, it seems I got some information incorrect.
What class of ship is the Serenade? Where is she sailing right now?

Seems you did, dear.

The Serenade Of The Seas is a Radiance Class ship(90,900 tons). It's in the Caribbean now, PR to be exact, and next sail date from San Juan is this Saturday, Feb 14th on a 7 night S. Caribbean itinerary.
