What happened to cruises out of Tampa?

[OceanSea]

Royal had the Brilliance going out of Tampa in September. Now I see the only months available for any Tampa sailings are April, November, and December. Did these cruises sell out or is Royal not sailing from there anymore in other months?

Ships typically go to the Mediterranean for the season and usually return in the fall Oct/Nov

Royal's Tampa sailings have been seasonal as long as I can remember.

Tampa port is limited due to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, only smaller ships can go out of there. 😒

Not sure what you saw or when but Brilliance does not return from Europe until mid November.

I may be thinking of last year (2018) thanks everyone. I’ve got mommy brain.

Carnival sails Tampa all year.

We were lucky to have Majesty last Summer/Fall, and Empress the year before that, both sailing to Cuba.  Bummed that they didn't continue porting a ship here this year.  Back to just Rhapsody and Brilliance November-April.

I know Brilliance is Chartered Nov 30-Dec 7 2019 for High Seas Rally. A Biker Cruise to raise money for Kidney Dialysis.
