And the folks on west coast continue to wish one of the big girls would come to them. So again they are disappointed and rightly so.

When they haven't been filling the Navigator and she has some of the lowest per day rates around it will be a long time before you see  Oasis class ship out of LA.

Not all of us want an O class out here. I like the NV just fine. Was back on an O class in October (SYM) and it reminded of me of why I stopped cruising on them.

And you'll probably still be denial😇

 

Nah, I will believe it when I actually see it. If I am wrong I will fully admit it.

 

You think they release itineraries in June 2023?

Bayley said they'd open Utopia for booking in June 2023.  

 

Of course Bayley has said stuff before...

That's what M Bayley said

"We haven't announced the deployment, but Utopia will also be going to Perfect Day," he said during the call.

 

This means Utopia will almost certainly be homeported somewhere on the east coast of the United States.

Royal Caribbean's ships don't visit CocoCay typically when based in Galveston, so that likely removes that possibility.

Mr. Bayley also said Utopia will be "coming online in June.

A major shot in the dark here but I’ve noticed Oasis has two different itineraries for Summer 2024 in Europe. One of them has an extra sea day than the other. I’ve never noticed it before for the Oasis class western med route. Is it possible RC are creating a slot for UOS should it be ready for Summer 24?


Throwing this back in the mix 😎

Tender ports in HI.  Not going to work with OA class.

 

Better to keep her in the Atlantic.

They can want all day long. The O class does not tender. That leaves out Catalina Island and I have doubts that it could fit into Ensenada or many of the Mexican Riviera ports if any at all. Cabo is a tender port. Also, there is no current terminal out here that could handle this size ship. Won’t happen for many years if ever. Also, there’s nothing keeping RCI from doing cruises to Hawaii now with the NV.

RobInMN Great Review Rare

A Google search comes up with a few articles back in March 22, one of which was on Cruise Critic (https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/6941/), where it said a seventh one is still possible.

Wikipedia says:

Negotiations about a seventh vessel, to be built as B35[74] to be delivered in 2026, were stopped in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.[75][76]

 

So, it's entirely possible that negotiations have resumed.

At the Top Tier event on Oasis recently the Captain mentioned the seventh Oasis class ship was in the works - for what that's worth.
