Anyone know when Bermuda cruises from Bayonne usually release? I see the various types of Caribbean cruise listed on those charts of past years but not this particular type of itinerary. 
 

Also wonder which ship will take that and the Canada routes in 2025. From what I can gather from this thread, Liberty will be elsewhere.

Wait to see what our government wants to do about another cruise terminal. Sydney is pretty congested.

Its very possible they will use a berth at the container terminal which would easily take an oasis class.

Can you please let me know how you are checking these?  We want to do Norway in 2025 and want to be sure it hits certain ports.

Norway is going to be an interesting one with the new regulations going into place for the UNESCO areas.

That's why we're doing it in 2025.  We had planned on 2026 and decided to move it up.  I don't want to miss those fjords!

Take this year for example, but it may change slightly. Year-round Caribbean deployment opened in December, while Winter/Spring Caribbean opened in February.

 

I am hoping to sail the Harmony out of Galveston in December 2025. But I see that she is on the St Maarten port list starting August 2025, although there is speculation elsewhere in this thread that that is just a placeholder for Icon 2. Does Royal plan to keep an Oasis class ship sailing out of Galveston throughout 2025? Or is too soon to know that?

I believe Oasis class will continue to sail from Galveston throughout 2025, but not 100% sure on which one. If I see anything specifically relating to Galveston deployment I will post here.

The new dock in Freeport that was built to handle an Oasis class ship will be up and running and that will mean that Oasis class no longer have to "cross the pond" for their drydock

I get it we relocated 2 cruises next year to move it from 25 to 24 just in case as even 25 is questionable.

As far as I understand it, Allure is already booked in to Cadiz for early 2025, so will have her dry-dock there and then likely do the 7-night Med. Although, it will be interesting to see if Royal take up the Freeport dock at any point in the future.

Royal is part owner of the Freeport shipyard.  Carnival is another major partner.  Strange bedfellows but that's what it is.

there is reason they use Cadiz a lot!

Because in the past they never had a dock that could fit an Oasis class ship other than for some emergency azipod repairs.  Plenty of the smaller ships had work done there.  Not saying they will use that for major amplifications but routine mechanical drydocks will certainly see the Oasis class ships go there instead of doing a TA

I also am interested in Norway in 2025 and would love it on Brilliance! How do we get more info?
