They could just reach out to SeaJets, they have a few just hanging around near Greece, including Majesty I believe

I like the idea of utilizing the Edge class hull to jump start the design and go with around 3500 at double occupancy etc…gives you more of the desirable balcony and suite staterooms compared to the ships it would be replacing in the vision and radiance class…plus you can do more desirable itineraries which you can charge more for, so I could see it being approved for those reasons, but like you hinted towards, the board of a publicly traded company cares about one thing so….

Has Royal released any renderings about what the area is going to look like? I was there a few days ago and it’s hard to picture it at this stage of construction

Yea Adventure was up here in either 2022 or 2023, then Liberty replaced it…I believe Freedom was up here before the pandemic

I think this is what we’re leaning towards too, the KSC excursion offered is $120 PP when on sale…kind of pricey when it’s only for a couple hours there before it closes…seems like a perfect time to use the NorthStar

Looking for recommendations on things to do around the port area with 2 young kids (5 and 2) if anything. Cruise planner only has one excursion for this stop for us (Noon-8pm) and it’s the Hilton day pass which didn’t interest us. We don’t mind just hanging out on the ship either but was a little disappointed there wasn’t an excursion for the space center. Anyone have any other recommendations for things to do with small kids while we’re there? ***I know Disney is about an hour away but not really looking to even attempt that for that little amount of time.

November 24-December 1, 2024…Odyssey OTS, first cruise with the kids!

That makes sense then, thanks!

Seems like they’re just kind of floating around not anywhere near anything…or Cruisemapper is just being a little silly right now?

I believe it’s been down for a while and won’t be operational until Quantum goes in for dry dock.

We have done a handful of cruises with Royal but never on Celebrity yet. We’re younger (in our 30’s) with 2 small kids under 5, how would Celebrity be for a trip like this with the kids? We like doing the Bermuda trip out of Bayonne. Just wondering how the Silhouette would be with the kids compared to Liberty OTS…for the week we were looking at the 7 day on Celebrity is actually less expensive than the 5 day on Royal.

I haven’t really noticed this as I’m still packing the same amount of stuff, I can just fit it in less bags/suitcases, so it makes it a little easier for me. We have 2 young kids so saving space is key for us and if I can bring one less bag or turn a checked bag into a carry on it’s a bonus…plus their clothes don’t weight much

I use them now for every trip, I like the compression ones as they really squeeze everything down and make more room in the suitcase or bag

The Icon and Star prices are absolutely insane…I mean, I’m doing multiple Disney trips for less than I could do one 7 day on Icon (I have 2 young kids)… would love to do an icon class just because I think the kids would like it, but at the prices I would just do Disney at that point. on a side note though, not sure the high pricing is limited to the new release ships…just helped my parents book Alaska for next year and the ended up going with Princess as they got the Princess Premier package on Discovery Princess for less than an ocean view balcony on Quantum, and then would need to get drinks and Wi-Fi etc on top with RCL…seeing that is making me look at other lines for my next trip

We had the center hump balcony on deck 8 on adventure last year and had no issues with noise at all, and really enjoyed having the balcony sticking out further. Again this is voyager class not freedom like Liberty is, but similar design
