The Cruise Junkie

I have also seen a big increase in cruise commercials from Royal Caribbean with their Come Seek campaign. However, the ads I have been seeing a major increase with is the Carnival Funderstruck advertisements that was shot on Mardi Gras.

Sadly, as other posters have stated, Ebay is the mostly the only place you can buy official ship models after the cruise.

Here is a pretty good interview with Jason that is very recent.

Good to see Royal doing things with Youtubers! Hopefully we can see more awesome things like this with other Cruise Tubers and cruise lines giving back

I mean they could do that

There is a pic of the Oasis Class in the Panama Canal. It looks like a very tight fit

Stunning photos as always Twangster especially with the night shots of the stars!

As Matt said if the current rules are still in place with the CSO any ship that does not sail under the 95% route of the CSO will be required to conduct test sailings. Hopefully the CDC will drop the test sailing requirement and just make it so it is up to the cruise lines to decide if they want to do test cruises for all their ships or just do the simulated sailings for only a few of their vessels.

That is awesome to see Royal doing this as other lines such as CCL has not been able to offer on-Site COVID-19 Testing Option for vaccinated guests.

I think that is most likely the case that Wonder will use the Space Coast as her 2022 winter home port as the date that she gets to Port Canaveral is on a Sunday which is the day which Royal uses for turnaround day for the Oasis Class at the port.

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing

My video from the day of the Mardi Gras & Odyssey. The RCI coverage starts at 2:06 in the video.

Great photos @ConstantCruiser! It sure was awesome to see her finally in the USA.

Awesome video from a Travel/Cruise Vlogger of Indy's arrival into the port. https://youtu.be/L1TUM9lLsgw

Do you have a link to the source?

Here is the latest update from @Matt on Project Icon. With the blocks for the ship slowly arriving at the shipyard in Finland we should see major work start to take place later this summer and maybe an official update/name of the ship when the keel-laying takes place. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2021/05/25/blocks-arrive-shipyard-royal-caribbeans-first-icon-class-cruise-ship

Great Pics Twangster! It is awesome to have RCG ships back in PC even thought that may just be for a few days as usually for the past month its been just DCL ships off the coast.

Navigator (Post Amp) for me.

I Found this great video on youtube from one of the crew onboard the Quantum OTS so I thought I would share.

Sad to hear if true but it Makes sense as Tampa can only handle smaller ships and the major lines will most likely start up with bigger ships that are better for distancing and another thing to keep in mind with Tampa is the port is consider by most of the cruise lines as a secondary market in the industry.

Well this is interesting. Looks like the Oasis class has found a new dry dock in North America. Fincantieri To Build Shipyard in Mexico, Cruise Work Targeted - Cruise Industry News | Cruise News

Hum this is interesting. Maybe this is an advance "tip" as to what the "big news" might be that Royal Caribbean indicated may be coming next week. https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/23705-bahamas-paradise-intends-to-resume-sailings-dec-18-2020.html

Now I only see one problem with there testing guidelines. It seems like no at pier testing for guest.

Here @Matt article on this matter! https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2020/09/19/royal-caribbean-ceo-warns-anti-cruise-group-flooding-cdc-extend-no-sail-order
