I have no evidence to prove my believe so time will tell. Harmony is already scheduled for Galveston. As mentioned, almost everything points to Utopia heading to PC for the 3/4 night sailings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could happen. Galveston is the 4th largest U.S. cruise port and is growing. Royal has invested a lot of money down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ship doing 3/4 day sailings from PC from mid July onward, Royal is not about to abandon that market. All the signs point to Utopia doing the 3/4 day sailings. What about the possibility of flipping schedules between ships. Put Utopia on 7 nights, and use a ship that was originally doing 7, to now move to the 3/4 night rotation.

Royal has invested a lot of money down there. And Port Canaveral is now #1. Allure is commanding high prices for her sailings starting later this year, so there is no reason for them to decrease capacity. Utopia makes the most sense, and is the only Oasis Class ship available to take her spot when Allure moves to Miami. It is abundantly clear Royal is trying to attract young families and those who haven’t cruised. Utopia will dominate that market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they go through the hassle of switching? They also purposely have Allure moving in July, an odd time for a homeport change unless it happens to line up with a new ship debut 🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No firm release dates I figured out today that Jewel hasn’t been released as I was looking for a B2B on her. We know she’s doing a TA but when is the question.

They would have just left an empty berth for her as they did the Icon if they were going that route 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL As long as it is a Florida or Gulf port and 7-8 days I'm not horribly concerned with where it ports. I do wish they would release the itineraries and open bookings already. 🙂 Edited March 8, 2023 by NightOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted March 15, 2023 #1390 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Utopia to Boston (months of April - September). You heard it here first. Gotta post with confidence and authority. Edited March 15, 2023 by soremekun 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wreckem2013 Posted March 16, 2023 #1392 Share Posted March 16, 2023 With Icon not doing any European sailings why wouldn’t they keep Utopia in Europe for the summer season? Why would they do a mid summer TA? I believe they have had two oasis class ships in the Mediterranean at the same time before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also a few ports that can handle O-class that aren't on the regular 7-night route but which show up sometimes on the TAs. Malaga and Valencia are two of them, I think, just off the top of my head. So there could be the potential for different itineraries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie21 Posted March 16, 2023 #1396 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I think 10 day itineraries on an oasis class ship in Europe for the summer would have great appeal - especially if it were on Utopia and they were adding in a couple of new ports not normally on the oasis class Europe runs.

It would be excellent. I’ve always considered 7 days to be too short. The pricing would be scary though. I was looking for a week on Oasis for Summer 2024. A 1A category room for 2 adults and 2 children is 8k euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dread to think, based on the prices currently showing. You'd probably need to mortgage your house. 😱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
