 I'm guessing a 12 night to be in PC on a Friday to start her 3/4 night cruises🤔

That one test load screen shot has a departure date of November 06th 2025 which is a Thursday. That adds up to what the Mariner is offering out of Canaveral and what Voyager is also planning to do in Canaveral with 4/5 night cruises from Port Canaveral. The 4 night cruise that they offer always leaves on Thursdays. That is what I will expect Explorer to offer.

 About the only switch I could see is moving one of the two further south and Icon up to PC at some point.

Personally, I see and Oasis Class ship staying here in Port Canaveral Florida doing the 3/4 night runs if this ends up being a success, which we should know in a few months when Allure arrives in late October. I do however see Wonder being swapped out for either Icon or Icon II whenever the second one comes online. This makes the most sense as that class will fit perfectly in Port Canaveral and especially for doing those week long cruises.

The possible Utopia of the Seas arrived in Europe in April 2025???

The April date is given as that is only how far Royal's deployment go to for all ships.

No itineraries?

They are the same as what they are doing now with the 3/4-night runs.

Perhaps if the Utopia experiment doing the unthinkable and placing an OA class ship on a 3/4 rotation works out they will consider doing the same in Singapore.

I believe Allure is the big experiment and that is staring this fall vs next summer. Allure seems to be selling well enough already to warrant Utopia possibility sailing out of Canaveral. If it was not selling well enough here, I do not believe Royal would put Utopia here. Instead, they would have put it elsewhere and kept the Allure doing the 3/4-night run. 

Just look at the history of Royal's 3/4 night program out of Florida over the past few years when they finally committed to using larger ships for that program such as the Mariner. They took the big leap having the Mariner do it out of Miami. And when they got data and feedback that it was doing well, they brough another voyager class ship over to Maimi (Navigator of The Seas) and moved the Mariner to Port Canaveral Florida. Out of Canaveral, Mariner sailed pretty much full just about every three night cruise. It got to a point where after the restart, that they then decided to put two freedom class vessels (Indy & Freedom) doing the 3/4 night program and that still to this day is wildly successful. 

So having a Oasis class do the 3/4 night program is a very logical next step.

Yup, but mostly parking at the terminal.   😮  They are already having problems even getting pax to be able to use the parking outside, let alone inside the garage.  Even the "grass" parking is getting full.  When we arrive for Wonder, the parking pax from Utopia will already be settled in.  

The port authority is actively working on that issue. They are adding a whole new lot with new spaces across the street from CT-1 before Allure arrives in the fall.

Nothing is official until it's announced, but if I were a gambling man, I wouldn't put my money anywhere other than PCN.

PCV 😉

Maybe it goes to china but what ship replaces allure on short cruises from PC? 

That is the age old question. It would be odd for them to go back to any vessel smaller than Allure if she does well with the 3/4 night run like they are banking on her doing.
