Utopia is the last of the Oasis class ships atleast for now. No homeport has been announced. The ship has not been officially unveiled but if it stays on track it should have an inaugural summer season in Europe next summer before making its way to the US. I’d say most likely will be homeported somewhere in Florida like usual. They will just move on the older Oasis classes out to somewhere else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted February 7, 2023 Author #110 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I think this is the first time I've seen a cabin block in transit. Usually it's another part of the ship. 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at where she is in the construction process vs where icon is and icon won't be sailing until January.

GlasgowCruiser01 Posted February 7, 2023 #119 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Could be that Utopia does a mini-season in Barcelona when Oasis is in dry dock in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their most recent SEC filing, RCL still lists Utopia delivery as Q2 2024. Delivery and revenue sailings could be far apart, like Icon.

Steel cutting started in April 2022 - some considered that the official start https://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/video/1225/utopia-of-the-seas-construction-update-construction-begins-on-royal-caribbeans-new-oasis-class-ship// Keel laying ceremony took place in July 2022. Shipyard said it was a 30 month build time in their own press release so none of the dates makes sense because they say delivery is Spring 2024. That would not make sense with an April, July, or September start date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremegk Posted February 13, 2023 #125 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Maybe I'm completely in left field here, with the discussion of homeporting...is there any chance Utopia ends up in Asia? Wonder was initially designed for the Asian market. The work put into converting her back to the NA market makes me think they won't "undo" it to send her once things open. Bayley suggested in the earnings call that 2024 was the realistic expectation for the Chinese market returning. Obviously, they once intended for an Oasis class ship to head over there. Sure, things have changed drastically with COVID, but if they're expecting a rebound once the market reopens, would they not plan on sending a similar class vessel? Just spitballing and could be completely off base. Many of you on here have far better insight into this than I. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
