Rare island lady Posted February 9 #1980 Share Posted February 9 Not sure why test bookings for July 2025 in PC....I already booked Oct/Nov. 2025 B2B on Adventure out of PC a few days ago. Strange release of bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange release of bookings. It seems they held back short Caribbean and Wonder will transition to that in August. I agree it’s a bit strange that you could book the 7 nighters from PC starting August 2025 but not for May through July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that they wanted to finalize the inaugural date for Star before releasing those last Wonder 7N's and they wanted to release Star all by itself to increase the hype... but who knows? 1 hour ago, pyrateslife4me84 said: short Caribbean Short Caribbean was always scheduled to be released in February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted February 9 #1983 Share Posted February 9 Honestly, I wish they'd just release everything at the same time, maybe 3 months worth every quarter for 2 or 2.5 years in the future. We aren't focused on just the Caribbean, and when they release things on such a weird schedule it's hard to decide what to do. Right now, we are thinking about Fall '25. Lots of things out there, even into April of '26, but I'm waiting for the Allure TA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted February 10 #1986 Share Posted February 10 If Royal released more there would be that many more cancellations like Ovation in 2025. It's bad enough now. With everything released all at once they would need 10x the staff to manage the redeployment issues when they change their mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jturks7 Posted February 10 #1989 Share Posted February 10 I’m keen to book a TA, eastbound on an Oasis class. So looks like Oasis is going to Europe this year, Allure in 2025 and Harmony 2026. Would it be safe to assume Symphony would be going to the Med in 2027? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No as Symphony was here in Europe last year so next due dry dock in 2028. It will probably be Wonder in 2027 as she is due her 5 year dry dock then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted February 10 #1997 Share Posted February 10 I read that complaint here regularly but it's 45 minutes from Houston Hobby to Galveston. That's the same as flying into Orlando and cruising out PC yet I never hear people make that same complaint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I'd fly into hobby which I've made in about 30 minutes depends on traffic. Dave says 45 minutes. I guess I have a lead foot, never took me that long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
