U.S. does not require a passport for a closed loop sailing but the foreign country you may be visiting on the sailing may require it. In that case you will need it or you could be denied boarding. Best advice is to get one.

Several port schedule have indicated a possible return to California. It’s possible they plan to retrofit the ship to accept shore power or have come up with a alternative technology to comply with the regulation.

I think it's needed to stay competitive. I remember Carnival looked at doing this back around 2010 but nothing came of it.

Looking at the deployment schedule sometime before April would be my guess.

LNG will be the primary fuel but do to the lack of LNG infrastructure ICON will also have the capability to run on distillate fuel. Nick Weir tweeted last month Icon class is approaching its final design stage.

I don’t think you’ll see a PC cruises in 2021. As for the rest of the deployment no new dates published yet.

Maui just added her on June 23
