How can you predict sea conditions three months out?

Royal dropped Molde, Norway and swapped for Rotterdam, Netherlands on our July 2025 Norwegian Fords cruise. Not sure if they will make a similar change for all sailings or just ours.

That poor soul would probably prefer you to lose their name and start with the standard support intake for any new issues.

That's insane, why not start with customer service?

That technology has been on ships for over 60 years, it's not available for commercial use.

Hey @Matt, you should update the favicons on your website. Some of the size versions are very pixelated.

Sovereign made it 33 years under the Royal Caribbean umbrella, some of the ships were slated to go longer than 30 years even under the direct Royal Carribean brand but Covid had other plans. You can still book a cruise on Empress today, albeit a different brand. That shows the ships can be profitable and there is no hard stop at 30 years. There are other ships on this list still in service as well. I guess we'll see if they actually sell Grandeur or schedule more cruises past next year.

Royal Carribean has certainly sailed ships over 30 years old before. A Voyager class ship may still be profitable after 30 years while Sovereign class was and Vision class is more difficult. Believe it or not, the first Voyager class ships were the largest ships in the world at the time. There may still be room for profit after 30 years and wouldn't be surprised to see them around a little longer.

That's an antidote, data shows Royal has more loyal cruisers than ever before.

Oasis and icon are more limited by the fact that they are warm weather ships. I think discovery class will be built for colder climate and will be less about size.

They originally said Icon class would be smaller than Oasis so will believe it when I see it.

Seriously, using an app and being flexible is best advice on here. Every local person here has recommended, those driving from far away don't know how often road construction or accidents change on their preferred routes.

Use Waze, even beltway can get backed up. There is currently construction on bridge going over bay and Southbound lane is often backed up. I live here and take different routes through the city all the time, every local does.

This is antidotal at best. If anyone is leaving, it's people willing to pay less on cruises and being replaced by people willing to spend more. Numbers are currently at all-time highs.

A phone and walkie-talkie are two totally different things.

This started trending today and they quickly removed it.

Was coming here to see the same thing, it's not some random third-party company. It's the same government owned port authority that makes the ship schedules.

Does Royal have that posted?

The port of Galveston Parking has Icon of the Seas listed as a ship for cruise parking, no dates yet though. They may have accidentally let the cat out of the bag. @Matt Any ideas? https://www.portofgalveston.com/9/Cruise

There are still many business use cases and ROI to made on new mid-size ship. Just like airlines don't fly A380's or 777 everywhere.

We are saying the same thing . My only other point was to look beyond Southwest, you could probably get away from the budget airline experience for about the same price.

I would look at all those options flying out of Chicago rather than just Southwest. Also you'll probably pay an earlybird premium for booking that early. * unless you are booking award milage seating, then totally book that early.
