It'll be either one. Bayonne or Roanoke for sure if Philadelphia isn't an option. Wonder if Royal would share their Bayonne terminal w/Carnival if they can?

Or Philadelphia if they can fit. I know the main reason Philadelphia isn't used anymore is even ships like the Vision can't fit.

Does the speculation now come if Disney orders new builds after the Destiny? A new class? the Magic is currently 26 years old and the Wonder is 25 years old. Disney will need to replace them within the next 5 years.

Honestly surprised they haven't used Imagination yet. Let's see if they add any new builds after the Destiny first.

Cruise Mapper typically doesn't update on itinerary changes last minute.

I believe Grand Turk can only hold two ships. There's not much to do there and, honestly, more than two ships would feel very crowded.

Grand Turk is really only used by RCCL as an emergency replacement. It's very, very rare for RCCL to have Grand Turk as a scheduled stop.

November doesn't work for me. Not in 2025 due to a prior commitment. And myself & me family prefer January cruises to get out of the cold.

Definitely don't want to cruise New Year's week. Prefer mid to late January.

Not in January though. I love that class of ships, too. The Odyssey Jan 2026 cruises are way overpriced an we really prefer a longer cruise. Guess it'll have to be an 8-day with possible two days at a hotel prior. The Celebrity Silhouette has the ABC itinerary in January though.

Damn. Was hoping for a nice 9-day to the ABC islands. Celebrity has them (8-day), so might switch to the Silhouette for 2026.

Noticed there's a lack of longer Caribbean cruises in January 2026. Outside of the Odyssey out of Bayonne and the lone 12-day out of Baltimore on the Vision. Have they not been released yet?

I've cruised out of Tampa twice and I'd rather sail out of there than Miami or Port Canaveral.

If RCCL wants to continue to have a ship sail out of Baltimore and Tampa, they need a smaller ship. I see most of their older/smaller ships gone in the next 3-5 years.

Agreed about Johnny Rockets. Just remove it from the ship already. Overpriced and not good at all. Did you wait long for your food at Brass & Bock? On my January cruise, the food took over 30 minutes due to only one cook in the kitchen during lunch. Granted its the best burger on the ship, but the wait time is crazy. @VernRDH

FYI, the longer Odyssey cruises in January 2026 have already had several price hikes. Just a heads up.

the longer cruises on the Odyssey for January 2026, are, more or less, the same as 2025.

the Grandeur needs to be retired.

Wondering about the Odyssey January 2026 longer cruises. Hoping for a slight difference in itinerary.

Any leaks of the Odyssey longer sailings for January 2026?

nope. her itineraries don't show up on cruisemapper.com either. Tampa port schedule has her listed though. Neither Key West or Cozumel lists her.

I cruise to enjoy unique foods that I normally wouldn't have at home. Occasionally I'd have something typical that I could get at home due to the unsatisfying menu. The MDR was mostly fine on my recent Anthem cruise. Only bad meal choices were the prime rib(very fatty and tough) and my Dad's pork chop. Also, the daily chicken breast was very dry according to my brother & mom. Ultimately, the big disappointment was the Windjammer and their lack of variety for both breakfast and lunch. I tend to be easy on the post-cruise survey, but was very honest about the Windjammer.

The Happy hour unlimited free drinks from 5pm-8pm is gone for all ships, correct? I remember on the Jewel in 2019, some people would get trashed during those 3 hours. The liquor also appeared watered down during that time frame.

probably. I've been there when they had 4 ships. it's a zoo. I also remember back in the day they built the second pier to get more ships in. I don't think St. Kitts could handle more than 4 ships.

St. Kitts' piers can hold four ships.
