When will Royal Caribbean announce the itinerary for Summer 2025 for the Caribbean? I’m looking into a family cruise to celebrate my retirement. Hopefully first or second week of August, out of Galveston. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like it’s a no-go. We were looking at the round trip from Baltimore in 2024. But, due to my granddaughter’s natural-born father, we don’t want to get her a passport until she turns 16. And she doesn’t turn 16 until October 2024. Maybe 2025.

Closed loop cruise that starts and ends in the same American port. Travels up the East Coasts of the US and Canada and makes several stops in Greenland before heading back south. Do you need a passport for this?

This is going to be lengthy. I don’t know what to do. I have knee problems, and I take steroid shots in my right knee. I’m a candidate for knee replacement surgery, but I’m hoping to put it off for another couple of years. Last Saturday, the 21st, I fell in concrete and hurt my knee. I took a steroid shot that Monday. But it’s still painful to walk, a week later. We leave for a 4-night cruise next Monday, the 6th. Freedom of the Seas out of Miami. And I’m thinking about renting a scooter. But I cringe at the logistics. We fly into FLL on Sunday, and we will Uber to the Intercontinental Hotels. The following day, we will Uber from the Intercontinental to the ship. I’m not worried about our ports of call, CocoCay (which is pretty assessable) and Nassau (if I venture out, I’ll stay near the ship). I’m just worried about disembarking. We have a (to me) too-close-for-comfort flight out of FLL on Friday morning. (My adult daughter made the reservations, and she said it’s makeable.) We will take a taxi from the pier to FLL. I know I can reserve a scooter and they’ll deliver it to me on the ship. But they give a delivery time of 2 PM. We have an early check-in time of 10:30. I’m hoping to be on my third Pina Colada by 2. And where do we drop off the scooter. We are doing early disembarkation, and we want to be on our way to the airport as early as possible. I think I can manage without the scooter. But it would be easier with it. As always, many thanks.
