I don’t think these should have been posted on Royal’s Meetings and Incentives website, but here we are. What is interesting is how it says sailing from Miami, Florida - Early 2024.

No pools?

I believe the pools will be on Deck 15. As there are no cabins on this deck, the deck plan wasn’t available to view as part of the test load.

it looks fairly... crowded and cramped? I seem to remember a LOT more open space on the boardwalk of oasis class than what is pictured here

 

100% Agree. They did say Icon will have more water and weight than ever before, now we can see what they mean!

There are quite a few child/family related spots down on the lower aft area, including a water area.

The whole ‘boardwalk’ seems to be transitioning into a family zone. I’m wondering how that will play out with aft cabins and interior balcony rooms!

Icon of the Seas o Utopia of The Seas coming back to Europe in 2024??? 

 According to RCI, Utopia will enter service in Spring 2024. I imagine that she will head straight to the Med,  or at least stay in Europe. I would also like Icon to sail Europe in 2024, although the port bookings look like she may be staying in the Caribbean for Summer 24, but I sure hope I’m wrong!!

These bookings are just for St Maarten. Grandeur could be deployed elsewhere, so keep an eye out.

The every 4th week itineraries...in the past, where have ships of that frequency been home ported? The every other weekers are obviously Florida, alternating Eastern/Western. But Harmony, then Oasis, Vision, Adventure and Explorer in the winter...

This confused me too! It is likely that Royal may just be securing port bookings to keep their options open. For example, Harmony has bookings in St. Maarten in Feb 2023, even though it is running 7-night Western Caribbean for the whole season, with no stops here. I will keep updating this thread, as bookings are added/removed.

Those St. Maarten winter schedule doesn't include the Anthem. Does this finally mean Cape Liberty will get a different ship in the Fall/Winter 2024/25?

 

I noticed this too! The Funchal, Madeira port schedule shows a November call for Odyssey, which I imagine is its TA. What is interesting is that the destination port is marked as Cape Liberty. Pair this with these bookings in St Maarten, it may mean Royal are planning to homeport Odyssey in NYC. However, these could just be place holders.

I am waiting to book a June 2024 cruise from Port Canaveral.  Any ideas when these will be released and what ships will be sailing from the port? 

 

Thank you 🙂

 

These will probably be released around Nov/Dec time. Keep an eye on this thread for further info.

So are we thinking Anthem will be based in Southampton AGAIN summer 2024? 🤔☹️

 

Current port bookings definitely indicate that Anthem will be based in Southampton in 2024. However, it is possible that they are just using Anthem as a placeholder to secure bookings at different ports and could switch the ship at a later date. It also looks as though most of the itineraries are just a copy and paste of previous years, doing the same cruises on basically the same dates! We won’t know for sure until the itineraries go on sale around Nov/Dec, but hoping they may treat us Brits to a different ship!
