Thread: Will the Radiance of the Seas be used as a hotel at the 2010 Olympics?

There is still no word on what the ships will be doing in Vancouver but the northbound sailings of both the Radiance and Jewel are showing N/A on the website now.

RCL has told me the the ships are sold out but will not say if it is a charter.

I would have loved to stay on the ship during the Olympics, that would have been fun.

Maybe we should go anyway? It's not that long of a drive to Vancouver. And I wouldn't mind staying out of the city so long as it's on the northern half of the boarder. Can you imagine what boarder crossing is going to be like during those weeks?

I am booked for March 5 , 2010 San Diego to Mexico , 7 day Cruise

That's very interesting. Right now she is doing the Mex itinerary, then it looks like being used as a hotel for the Olympics then going back to San Diego. In the spring she will be doing an Alaska itinerary. In September next year it looks like the plan is a repositioning cruise through the Panama canal to Tampa, FL where she will start doing a Caribbean itinerary.

Your cruise must be the first regular itinerary after repositioning back to San Diego after the games. It would be interesting to hear what the staff had to say about their work in Canada. If you think about it, would you ask around for us?

Sonja,

The contract to use the ship for the Olympics fell through a long time ago. The ship will be staying in San Diego until the 2010 Alaska season. It will them move to the Caribbean

That's too bad. Thanks for the info, John.
