footzz Posted May 31, 2021 #11 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The Independence is probably heading to Galveston in anticipation for a test cruise. According to local news: Port of Galveston and local health officials say they are close to signing a port agreement with the State of Texas. Royal Caribbean recently signed similar agreements with Port Canaveral and Port Everglades. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So out of Texas, RCI can ask if the test cruisers are vaccinated. Once Indy passes her test cruise, she can head back to Port Canaveral to start revenue cruises. I've got Indy booked out of PC in January 2022 so I'm assuming that's where she'll end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSocial Posted May 31, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) 33 minutes ago, slvrbllt said: Liberty is scheduled to sail out of Galveston in July. yes she is. But the “Blog” we can’t quote reported in a front page blog on April 5, on the 4 ships for Cadiz dry dock. That article specifically stated July for Liberty. here is another article (doesn’t state specific dates for Liberty) https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/24705-royal-caribbean-s-harmony-arrives-in-cadiz-as-part-of-quadruple-company-drydocking.html So she may be double booked forJuly. Only Royal knows for sure if they need to cancel July dates for Liberty. Edited May 31, 2021 by BSocial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Thenagers Posted May 31, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I read another theory. Independence might be subbing for liberty because she is supposed to be dry docked? Good for Galveston, bad for Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the one delaying the dry docks was after that one, but I see it was before. I just need a ship for me in Galveston on July 4. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not confrontational, but any basis for that? Michael Bayley did mention specifically Pfizer for two ships he posted about, but like many Americans, they may show up and get what they get.
