Do you have any Galveston info?

Pls can someone remind me where Odyssey is? Rome again?

Most likely. Is that 4 years in a row?

Will Galveston 7 days sailings be released in November ?  Any chance another ship besides Icon will also be doing 7 days out of Galveston?

Allure's presumed 7-night sailings for summer 2026 should definitely be November. If she were continuing that itinerary through the winter we would expect it to be released at the same time, but if the rumored switch to Icon is true it's also possible they hold all those sailings until the winter seasonal release.

 

I would be really surprised by a second week-long Galveston ship because it's not clear there's a terminal spot available for it, and there's no reason for Royal to bring in another ship just to compete with Icon.

Any source for this or just a very specific piece of inside knowledge?

Welcome to CC and the speculation thread.

Unknown at present. She is heading to Europe for Dry Dock in March.

 

There are currently no visible port bookings for Odyssey in place for Summer 2026 in any European ports, despite Explorer and Brilliance both being listed on the Athens schedule! 🤔

Well, she doesn’t usually call there. Can anyone check Civi, Naples, Santorini, Kusadasi, or Mykonos?

It makes sense what you say about Icon.  It's just that Icon will most likely be over my budget ($1500-1600) per person for an Oceanview Balcony.  In March 2026, they have both Allure and Harmony.

Is Odyssey booked in anywhere after May 2026? 
I see she has a booking in Gibraltar 26 March 2026.

Another booking in Piraeus 9 April 2026.

I was thinking maybe she is off the Asia Pacific region.

St. Maarten 1/7/27, 1/18/27 & 2/2/27 from information gathered throughout this thread so it looks like she'll be sailing out of Cape Liberty again most likely Winter 26/27...

Then it sounds like she will do Greek Isles in summer and then Cape Liberty after. And on, and on, and on. 
 

At least she will have some new carpet in 2026…

Any idea what which ship will be in Bayonne from March 26 onwards when Odyssey goes for her tuneup?

So there is the teensiest beacon of hope that she could be in Southampton?!?

Where did you see the schedule for Anthem 2026-2027? I want to go on a transpacific cruise from Hawaii to Australia in 2026. That cruise always arrives in Sydney on October 31st, but I can not find any information on a transpacific cruise from Hawaii to Sydney on Royal Caribbean. I don't even see it listed in their deployment schedule on when it will be available to book. It is supposed to be on Anthem of The Seas.

We're thinking of booking the same cruise!

There may be a break with no ships for a couple of months and then usual O and F class during the summer.

Odyssey of the Seas calls in Athens 4/9/26, so it looks like she will be in the Greek Isles again. Early start to the season after dry dock?
