The app has a bunch of test and perhaps some real sailings listed before the inaugural.

Her AIS transponder seems to be sending some incorrect signals at the moment.

Royal Caribbean International has officially taken delivery of its newest ship, Utopia of the Seas, from the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard. The ceremony, which took place on June 13, 2024, at the shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, marks the delivery of the sixth Oasis-class ship to the Royal Caribbean fleet.

 

Nearly 2,300 crew members who will serve onboard Utopia of the Seas under Captain Gus Andersson joined Royal Caribbean Group’s senior leadership team, including President and CEO Jason Liberty and Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.

I wonder if there is a clear plastic divider at the bend giving the illusion that you are sliding out into nothingness.

Is this, perhaps one of the test cruises?  

 

Utopia departed St. Nazaire, and is expected at the port of La Pallice.

From what I have read, on it’s way to PR.

🇵🇷 ON THE WAY TO PONCE, PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷

Just as happened in January this year with the ICON OF THE SEAS, the new UTOPIA OF THE SEAS will arrive at the port of Las Americas Rafael Cordero Santiago for a 3-day technical stop.

 

The cruise ship that is not yet in service and has only crew and contractors, will be putting final touches on Ponce, as well as a U.S. Coast Guard 🇺🇲 inspection, among many other details.

 

It is expected to arrive on July 6, 2024 and depart on July 8, 2024 according to the latest update from authorities.

 

Ponce has become a super important port for Royal Caribbean International's new ships, before it enters service. STAR OF THE SEAS, the second ship of the ICON generation, is expected to receive in 2025.

 

Before starting the transatlantic route, the cruise ship will make a refueling stop and then set course to The Pearl of the South.
