Royal Caribbean’s New Wonder of the Seas, World’s Largest Cruise Ship, to Homeport at Port Canaveral

[flamingos]

THE WORLD'S LARGEST CRUISE SHIP IS COMING TO PORT CANAVERAL: Royal Caribbean International has announced its new, highly anticipated ship, Wonder of the Seas, will homeport at Port Canaveral beginning November 2022. Set to become the largest cruise ship in the world when it debuts in March 2022, Wonder will sail 7-night itineraries to the eastern and western Caribbean. Destination highlights include Cozumel, Mexico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and San Juan, Puerto Rico; and each cruise will visit Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island destination in The Bahamas that features thrill and chill – from the tallest waterslide in North America to The Bahamas’ first floating cabanas.

I swore that I would not sail out of PC since my experience sailing on Mariner last week.  The airport was a total freak show and close to an hour driving to port from airport. 

 

Now I have to rethink my decision.😀

That is good news.

Yay!!!  I love going out of Port Canaveral (we drive).  Our next 3 cruises are from the port.  Can hardly wait for Wonder of the Seas.  Our last cruise was January 2020 on the Harmony.

For the short season, in March, 2022, she sails out of Fort Lauderdale.

So I guess she’s not going to Asia at all?

Not for a couple years

Our Harmony cruise for next November has already been changed to Wonder. We have new rooms already. We’re happy because we wanted to go on it but live near Port Canaveral, so it’s an easy drive for us.

Sounds like moving cabins from Harmony to Wonder is going to short change suite guests like it did with the Allure transition

[vegas7df]

We received notification of this today, they’ve already updated our cabin. We were in a Grand Suite on deck 10, now deck 17 on the Suite neighborhood, should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing the new ship.

Not seeing a sailing listed for Thanksgiving week.  (Week before and week after show up) Could it be sold out already?

[Mama24]

Got an email about this last night.  We have three cruises booked on Harmony next year so I had questions.  I called them and of course, nobody knew nothin’.  We got moved from deck 6 to deck 9. At least we’re still in an accessible balcony cabin.

A very comforting thought.  I can now breathe again.  There was that one Asia sailing scheduled for after the Fall TA that stayed on the website for awhile and I was afraid they were going to yank the TA away from us.

Those of you who have already been switched over, has your cruise planner purchases been affected? Our booking just shows as Harmony - voyage cancelled.

 

I'll be pretty annoyed if the black Friday purchases I made will be refunded and they expect me to rebook

[molly361]

I can't get the DP340 single supplement on the cruises out of PC from November 2022 thru Feb 2023.  I can get if after May 2023 or before the ship moves up to PC  Strange - glitch?

[RFerrington]

I would be amazed if the CP purchases move with the reservation.  I don't think I can recall where that has ever happened.

The singe rates don't seem to be loaded properly.  If you have a booking call C&A.  They'll get resolutions to manually modify the booking.  Keep notes though as looking for price drops can get weird when resolutions manually modifies pricing.

All of our purchases were cancelled and refunded to us.  Had to repurchase everything we had previously purchased for our cancelled Allure TA.  And NOT at the original prices we had paid for the Allure cruise.  Had to repurchase at the current rates.

 

Also, it will take time for your reservations to switch AND you might get an invoice with a way higher price than what you paid for Harmony.  Give it a few and they will eventually make the swap showing the balance for Wonder that you had due on Harmony.
