Good thinking there, and a brand new terminal there perfect for it. Maybe Icon "3" might be for PC then.

PC surely has to be where Star is headed.

It's looking like some of these shipyards will become quite empty once the current orders are completed by 2026. Maybe there wouldn't be a 8 year turnaround as it stands now and if it was for a current design (ie. More Icon or even another Oasis)

More Icon-Class - most definitely. I'd say at least 2 or 3 more. I think around 2030 they might have to do some smaller vessels but no smaller than the current Voyager Class i'd say. Something like a RCL take on the Edge-Class could be a possibility. As the Radiance Class & Voyager Class will be approaching 30 years old by then.

With Icon II due around Q2 2025, this could replace Wonder out of PC, and then Wonder would be free to head to Asia if the demand is there.

So lets say if China is out for now, where else could Utopia be going? MIA will have Icon & Oasis, PCC will have Wonder & Allure, FL will have Symphony & Odyssey, GALV will have Harmony. Could any those also support an additional OA Class?

Wonder is confirmed until at least Apr 2025 out of Port Canaveral so even if it was still destined for China it won't be until after that, and then what to do with Utopia in 2024/25? I would therefore guess that China/Asia be best bet at this stage for Utopia, could also be homeported out of Singapore for some of the time as well. Will be interesting to see.

Am I right that there is a limit to the vessel size to dock in Melbourne? I seem to think Quantum Class won't fit as i've never seen one go there?

Interesting.. so maybe Melbourne as a home port in the future. Maybe even 2024-25 season?.. Would be perfect for a Radiance Class size vessel.

I think Utopia is due Q2 2024.... so that timing is a possibility.. or maybe even Wonder with Utopia going to Port Canaveral. What is the LNG fuel situation in NY ?

About time the media let this go.. Funny thing was they interviewed some passengers and they all said they weren't worried and everything was handled great etc.

I like your thinking there! Go for the latest.. On a side note has anyone mentioned if Icon Class will tender? I'm guessing no as per Oasis Class but haven't seen mention of it..

So going by the Alaska deployment this is clues to the transpacific cruises back from Alaska after the 2024 season. So going by that it looks like its "status quo" for 2024-25 of Ovation, Quantum and Brilliance. All showing the voyage from Vancouver/Seattle to Hawaii Sept/Oct 2024. I guess no possibility of an O Class until 2025-26 then..

My guess is Utopia will be very similar to Wonder but with LNG power. So looking ahead to 24-25 with Icon & Oasis (Winter) in Miami. Fort Laud. will have Symphony, Port Canaveral has Wonder & Allure (23-24) and Galveston will have Harmony. What's your guess as to where is Utopia heading too?

Yes sure is. Email received today Eden cancelled on my Nov 9 Quantum cruise. Swapped with an overnight in Sydney instead. Interesting thing is that on the 2nd day Quantum has to move out to the "ancourage" in Sydney Harbour as the Overseas Passenger Terminal has Majestic Princess that day.
