St Maarten, Caribbean - Port Schedule (Correct as of 14/07/23)

A handful of ships booked throughout Summer 2025, which include: Wonder, Liberty, Icon, Rhapsody and Oasis, with both Jewel and Harmony appearing as we get towards autumn. However, I can’t help but wonder if Harmony could be a placeholder for ‘Icon 2’ similar to how it was for Icon OTS, as bookings start to appear around the time we expect her to debut. Although, would they really have Icon and Icon 2 sailing to the same ports in the Caribbean?

Those are fairly short dry dock windows for Allure if she's getting that much more than routine maintenance.

Maybe they are splitting the work in two.  Two weeks for one set of projects and two weeks for the second set of projects.  Wasn't she supposed to be in drydock with the amplification work for a total of 4 weeks originally in 2020?

Show where? As of now, I don't find them listed on the RCL website.

 

Port bookings will be made by RCI on various ports websites, which gives us an idea of the ships that will call at each port throughout 2025. The actual itineraries won’t be released by Royal until around Nov/Dec.

I have the same question. This is my first time to follow a deployment thread from the beginning so I don't know where the "new" information is coming from.

Cadiz 2025

 

New: Explorer of the seas leaves earlier than previous years from Eastern Med in September to do cruises in Western Europe.

 

I am really intrigued to see what these itineraries will be, especially with Explorer calling in Lisbon. Hopefully some more bookings will start to appear soon to give us an idea. 🤞🏻

A lot of people will start watching port schedules well in advance of cruiselines releasing itineraries.  That is what you are seeing here.  Some port schedules (which means a cruise line has reserved port time for that date at that port) start to appear.  Nothing on these are guaranteed, but it gives a good indication as to what ships are likely to be in certain areas and when.

24th April 2025 - Brilliance OTS
27th April 2025 - Jewel OTS

6th May 2025 - Independence OTS

29th October 2025 - Odyssey OTS

I changed my 2024 Norwegian Fjords trip to a 16 day Panama Canal transit. I'm hoping I didn't make a mistake by assuming 2025 will have similar itineraries to 2024 since those regulations for the deep fjords go into affect for 2026... I'll book the day the itineraries are released for 2025.

Voyager in Eastern med year round !!

Now that I could get interested in - great opportunity for a nice January/February cruise to escape the UK winter !!

Looks like she is Haifa bound. 
 

If only they would put a ship back in Dubai

I'm thrilled to see Allure in dry dock in 2025, amplification or no amplification.  Can't wait for that WB TA in the fall.  

That’s what we are waiting for sure 😊 I’m hoping for amplification though
