Rare lv2cruisgrl Posted May 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Since Odyssey is to be coming to Florida soon, does anyone know when the bookings will open for summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingHogFan Posted May 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2021 It hasn’t even been officially announced when sailings will start. I think Florida still has a lot of issues to work out due to how Royal is starting back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atricks Posted May 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Think they are trying to figure this out right now. Marine traffic as of an hour or so ago already has odyssey en route moving to freeport from italy with it scheduled to arrive june 6th. I suspect that destination will change before it gets there. Odyssey is on its way toward us now. Edited May 22, 2021 by atricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what they'll be doing July and August?? I would think they would start cruising in July from wherever since the ship was supposedly fully staffed. I guess the magic 8 ball will reveal all next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLfuzzy Posted May 23, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 23, 2021 My dream scenario is RCCL will try to move those booked from Symphony /etc for July sailings onto Odyssey, since she is staffed and ready to sail. I would MUCH rather go on Odyssey! If I can dream that I am cruising in July, I can dream that it could be on Odyssey. I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there was an official announcement from Bayley about Royal submitting for a test cruise to the CDC today? I hoped they could find a ways to skip these and go straight to regular sailings.

villager70 Posted May 23, 2021 #23 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Reported on news in Florida friday that Port Canaveral & also Port Everglades have submitted the Port Health Plan required by the CDC to do start up. This plan is the agreement for the safety of the crew, passengers and port workers they required in the last publication. Bob & Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about what you want. I'm ready for a change and new adventure. I want the bragging rights to say I was a part of the test cruises!
