bloodyen Posted February 6, 2023 #851 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Is it possible the Odyssey stopping in NY is part of moving the ship to, let's say, PR? I can't see them putting a warm weather ship in NY for the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Puerto Rico is really on the cards for them any more, it's gradually went down from 2 ships (one year round) to 1 small ship for the winter.

I can't see them putting a warm weather ship in NY for the winter. Anthem has been the only ship in NJ that was built for cold weather. The Explorer did those winter sailings for years and people booked them. I will bet that sales go up by putting a new ship in NJ, Anthem has been there too long. As for Odyssey moving to PR...not a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty confident that it will be Odyssey, as there are lots of little pieces of evidence that help to build a bigger picture. - November 2024 Madeira port call for Odyssey has destination marked as Cape Liberty, this will be for her TA. - Odyssey has various bookings in St Maarten throughout January and February 2025, with no mention of Anthem unlike previous years. Two of these calls are 11-days apart, which would tie in with the 11-night Southern Caribbean cruises usually carried out by Anthem. - May 2025 Madeira port call for Odyssey has origin port marked as Cape Liberty and destination as La Coruna (Then Southampton I presume.) As I say, I’m pretty confident that this will be the case and would be very shocked if actual deployment differs. Also, I did see a post about a NextCruise employee mentioning a potential ship change for NJ, which would back this up further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted February 7, 2023 #855 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Any idea when more listings will be announced? There are still some ships 'missing' from the usual European rota and those that are there are silly prices. I have a newbie who wants to try a cruise in 2024 and the RCI Europe 7 night prices for a week are too high. We might have to look elsewhere (quelle horreur!!)

NightOne Posted February 7, 2023 #859 Share Posted February 7, 2023 What are you best guesses on WHEN we will see Utopia of the Seas bookings open up? Also guesses on WHERE it will be deployed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also guesses on WHERE it will be deployed? I’m wondering the same. I’d like to book a transatlantic for next fall. I assume it will sail from Europe to Miami then. Icon was available for booking 15 months out. We’re in that ballpark. But they wouldn’t want to take away from the Icon promotion just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, they are doing non-revenue TA for Icon. That may be the case for Utopia as well, depending on when she actually has her maiden voyage and where she's headed. That is, if that's the TA you were thinking--getting her from shipyard to homeport. Edited February 7, 2023 by rockmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Icon taking over the Miami itineraries, she'll probably be a regular at NJ going forward with Oasis moving elsewhere. Excellent news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is best to do non revenue given how things get delayed and then no need to refund or reschedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted February 8, 2023 #867 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Oooooooh!! Dubai India has reappeared in the search options again even though it is still greyed out along with South America. I know the thoughts were this was for the World Cruise, but I do live in hope that Dubai will come back onto the rota!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a fabulous itinerary - and you should see how Doha has developed and expanded since last there in 2019! Another first was a port call into Dammam Saudi Arabia- fascinating 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Promenade equivalent is visually stunning and curvy. There is a new lounge/ theatre area very like 270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
