It's about 2 miles out right now, already went by on the Cocoa Beach Pier cam, so it should show on the port Canaveral webcam pretty soon.  There's a bunch of live streamers out on Jetty park if you scan on Youtube

Edit: It's coming in right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiZTiDV_tjw

Odyssey is about an hour away from Port Canaveral now, and it should be showing up on cameras there then.   Carnival's Mardi Gras showed up on time this morning and had a pretty good entrance also.

It'll show up on the Cocoa Beach Pier cam first, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKrm68n7I_8   (the ship parked there now for reference is the Disney Dream) and eventually to Port Canaveral, where there's a bunch of folks already there for the Mardi Gras.

Specific to this latest update, and the Cruise Director hints, on the test sailings for Allure and Symphony, just now at 10:22 am Marc "Bing Bong" Walker has announced on Facebook that there will be a "Bing Bong update soon".  

He posted a photo of him in the cruise director office onboard a ship, hard to tell, but judging by whats on the wall, about 75% sure it's Allure of the Seas.

AIS updated to Cape Canaveral ETA 1 pm on June 4.

Where did you see 1PM?  I looked and it said 9AM EDT for PC. 

Saw this about the Odyssey earlier today around 5am.

Odyssey is now in the Great Bahama Canyon channel (Ocean is very very deep in this location) between Eleuthera and Abaco islands, it's now in Bahama waters, should be in Freeport by the early afternoon, and probably Port Canaveral tomorrow afternoon sometime.

Do you have a link to the source?  

Saw the rumor on youtube (Search odyssey of the seas Mardi Gras June 4th)   

Also crew member states it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t5_NqLYJQM

June 3rd with a stop in Freeport, June 4th in Port Canaveral for the shots.

And yes, for some reason I thought it was Saturday, it's Friday June 4th.   

  It looks like the brand new Carnival Mardi Gras AND brand new Odyssey of the Seas will both arrive at Port Canaveral on Friday the 4th.  (Odyssey just for the shots)  But that along with a scheduled rocket launch should make PC hopping that day.

Anyone know where Odyssey currently is located? Any word on when it is to arrive in Port Canaveral? 

Right now it's Southeast of Bermuda still heading toward Freeport.  (You can check on sites like cruisemapper.com or marinetraffic.com)   Carnival Mardi Gras is about 2 days ahead of it.   Rumor was it was going to Port Canaveral for Vaccines (J&J) after a brief stop in Freeport, then to Port Everglades at some point (Based on the rumored July sailing schedule, which still isn't bookable probably because they haven't been completely solidified yet).

Sometime after Odyssey arrives in Florida would be the "test" cruise, followed by alternating southern Caribbean 8 night and west Caribbean 6 night.   All of that is speculation and probably will change 10 times.   Don't get set on the idea that any of these will actually happen as the app lists them, although it's likely this is what RC *wants* to happen.

Odyssey continues to move along, it's south of the Azores still generally heading to Florida. The MSC Virtuosa did it's first UK sailing without incident, so looking good.  (Carnival's new Mardi Gras ship in a bit west of the Odyssey, also headed to Florida)

A crewmember on the Odyssey took some video of them going through Gibraltar, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn9DjD58S0w 

After stalling around Gibraltar for a day, looks like Odyssey is on its way toward the US in earnest now.

What I'm anxiously waiting to hear is what the plans are for the below 12s that CANT be vaccinated...will they make them mask up?? Interested to see how that plays out.

PCR Test at the port from what I read.  What's left unclear is borderline cases, like what if they turn 12/16 like a week or 5 (Remember J&J Is not an option for 12-16) before (or during) the cruise.

Looks like Odyssey stopped in Palma to drop off two crew that tested positive (But asymptomatic).  

https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2021/05/24/84449/unusual-sight-mallorca-cruise-ship.html  (It's two despite the headline saying 5.  And they were picked up recently, still in pre-quarantine, and not out and about)

Just adds to the scramble factor trying to figure out what's going to go on in July.   Although, if anything, it shows the procedures worked.

Guys, which app? I have one RC app, but it only shows my booking for Allure in July.

The regular one "Royal" with the Crown and Anchor and light blue background (Iphone or Android)  , if you click the "person" icon, there should be something about "Get more details on ships we support" and you can pick any ship and the next few months of sailing there.   Note, the App is not a definitive source on anything and I wouldn't count on anything there being right, but its a neat way to see the cruise compass of any cruise going on at the moment (Ala Quantum).

In the RC App it has Odyssey Alternating 6 and 8 night cruises out of Port Everglades starting July 3rd, (6 night is Porta Maya, Cozumel, Coco Cay and 8 night is Aruba, Curacao and Coco Cay)  I know the app is volatile, so until its bookable it doesn't mean much, but if that were to go live I'd grab it up in a heartbeat (probably one of the 8 nights)   Either PC or PE I don't care.
