It would be a huge draw for families and first time cruisers to have a brand new ship doing that route and so closely to Orlando theme parks. It seems almost certain that it will be Utopia doing these sailings since bookings on Allure seem to indicate it is do-able for an Oasis class ship. Agree. Putting Oasis Class ships on the 3/4 nighters was clearly the direction Royal was heading once they put Allure on them in PC. Now that Icon Class is debuting, the Oasis Class are going to have to move on to other itineraries as their flagship status gets taken away. And the smaller ports either can't accommodate the Oasis Class (i.e. Tampa) or the demand is simply not there (i.e. San Juan).

But people from anywhere else in the world won't be able to go on the new ship. I've done all 5 Oasis Class (thankfully because all have done a summer in Barcelona) but Utopia won't be an option if she goes to Canaveral. It would make more sense to me to have Oasis and Allure doing the short ones. I understand the business model of wanting to attract new cruisers with big ships on the short runs though.

They care more about first time families cruising than a one off from Europe. It makes more sense to you, but not for them. The good news is, it will eventually do Europe sailings.

rae8836 Posted February 26, 2023 #1330 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I see Jewel in Amsterdam in Aug 2024 and in Galveston in Nov 2024 but unlisted for Sep-Oct 2024. Obviously there will be a TA in there somewhere but anyone know what else is scheduled for those months? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the same cruise. We'll be two months shy of our 43rd. Maybe we'll see you in one of the lounges for a toast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked on the 8/10/24 cruise out of Amsterdam hoping to continue on the TA.

Royal are running more ships to and from dry dock non revenue. The Navigator one has me the most annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The release of the remainder of the Jewels itineraries is supposed to be this week from what I was told. Don't hold your hopes out for a TA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfan1973 Posted February 28, 2023 #1341 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I just saw this thread and wasn't reading all the pages but wondered if Rhapsody is the only ship sailing out of San Juan in early 2025? If so, why? Should at least have a Voyager class ship sailing out of there. We love sailing out of SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not enough to make some money at any given home port. If a ship can make more money somewhere else that's where a ship goes. If Royal can make more money placing Voyager class in another home port that's where Voyager class will go. Same with other classes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
