Wonder of the Seas - When will later 2025 itineraries be released? Where will she sail?

[blueslily]

I am helping an aunt plan a family cruise for 2025. We are looking at Oasis class ships. I have been able to find some sailings for Oasis and for Symphony, but we're not able to find sailings for Wonder of the Seas for the latter part of 2025.  I did see the Wonder sailings up through late spring, but not the summer yet. A lot of you folks are in the know about these kinds of things.  😉 When do you think the latter half of 2025 will be released for Wonder?  Does anyone have any idea where she might be sailing during the summer or during the 2025 holiday season? It would work best for us if she is still sailing out of Florida. But I see that Royal has been moving their ships around to other departure points like the Symphony out of New Jersey and other ships out of Texas.  She wants to book June, Thanksgiving, or Christmas 2025 on the Wonder. 

 

Thanks so much!

She will likely continue doing 7N from PC until Star takes over in August then she is expected to do 3/4's, I assume from south Florida.

 

Check for releases next week (late TUE, early WED like this week).

Wonderful, thank you so much. I am looking at thr June dates. Oddly, there is a 7 day sailing on June 18 and a 7 day sailing on June 22. That math does not add up. They have two different itineraries, but the number of days between those dates isn't 7, hmmm. Am I reading those dates wrong? 

 

Also, wish I could see more of thr itinerary information.

 

Thanks so much for posting! I appreciate your help.

So both Wonder and Utopia are doing 3/4n out of PC... Same iteniary?

 

Wow that's a lot of capacity for the same short trips.

I think it’s a typo. Should be June 15, not 18.

And a lot if revenue for them. Those short sailings on Utopia are priced pretty hefty. (Yes, I know it's a new ship.) I want to try Utopia but man, just 4 days seems like such a waste for that type of ship. I know folks say we can just book a B2B, but those sailings are so overpriced. So, I would be booking two overpriced short sailings just to get what should be one sailing anyway on an Oasis class ship. My thought is that they could let the older Oasis class ships change to short cruises and let the newer ships keep longer itineraries. Oh well. I know that has already been discussed on this site so I don't want to sidetrack my own thread.  My goal for this thread is to figure out when we can book the Wonder for a 7 night cruise for a family cruise in 2025. Looks like we should do that in June as soon as all the kids in the family finish school.

Does anyone know what the itinerary for the May 18, June 15, June 29, etc dates will be? I can see some of it, but the side of the pic cuts off.  I'm wondering if it's the same 4 port sailing that includes Cozumel, Costa Maya, Honduras, and Coco Cay that Wonder is doing in the spring.  Thanks

It's been doing that same Western you posted in the spring/summer for a while so that would be my guess.

Probably should have said June/July. In any case, you can make out most of the text for those dates you mentioned. It shows Costa Maya, an "R" (Roatan), and a 2nd Mexico stop (which would be Cozumel).

Great. Now the question is just pricing which is still high for the Wonder. 

 

Thanks

Pricing is currently quite (obscenely) high fleetwide - all the way through April 2026.😱

Yep. That's a great word for it. I'm trying to help an aunt plan a family cruise. I've cruised a lot more than everyone that wants to go. I'm looking at the prices saying, omg, I wouldn't even pay that for some of these itineraries so I certainly don't want to ask a whole family group to have to pay that price. I just sailed on Celebrity Ascent for less than some of these Royal ship prices. They are too inflated.

Hopefully with Wonder and Utopia doing 3/4 nights out of Port Canaveral, prices will drop and free casino rooms will be thrown around like candy.

 

One can hope anyway.

How much does a person have to spend in the casino to get a free room?

That's always the question, lol. The group rates I have for my 4 upcoming Wonder's range from not bad (March 2024 and 2025) to kinda high. We'll see what June/July 2025 brings...

Posted on Pinnacle members site that Wonder will start 3,4 rotation when star get to Canaveral and Utopia will go to Miami

Utopia will move.  There will not be 2 Oasis class ships sailing from PC.  It won't work as Oasis class needs to use T1 and they both can't dock there the same day.

[OCSC Mike]

The August 17 and 24 dates in that Wonder flyer don't make sense given that Star's inaugural is August 17th.

[blueslily]

Hmmm, one might move to Ft. Lauderdale?

Hmm, I wonder if there might be an updated version of this document out there somewhere since it sounds like maybe it's no longer as accurate as it was when it was originally distributed.

We have a Retreat Sky Suite booked on Equinox for next January that was about $2,000 less than a JS on Star (and about the same price as a balcony cabin) sailing the same week, and on Equinox everything is included - on Star you get nada.

Typically the 4/3 rotation out of PC is Monday/Friday and Friday/Monday departure, and the 7 nights out of T1 are always a Sunday departure. Currently, Allure is doing a 4/3 Monday/Friday and Wonder is doing 7 night Eastern/Western Sunday/Sunday rotation out of T1.
