princevaliantus Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Just got word that the Odyssey of the Seas will be sailing out of Florida and it seems Ft. Lauderdale will be the home port. But as we all know, things tend to change. As of now, the itineraries will be released by end of 2019, but once again, things tend to change. Like so many, I await with bated breath !!!!! rjweber3, The Cruise Junkie and Pen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe01 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 It's been rumoured for a while that she would be in Florida. With Adventure going to Galveston, I think Odyssey will do the 6/8 night sailings. The Cruise Junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Adventure going to Galveston, I think Odyssey will do the 6/8 night sailings. I would agree - the only thing I am apprehensive about is the terminal situation. If she does the 6/8 night itineraries from Fort Lauderdale, she would need to use T29, which is not technologically advanced. This would seem to contradict Royal's current focus on high speed check-in for their newest ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time for them to do something between now and then - I remember the old Bayonne terminal pre-Quantum which was certainly not fit for that class and they managed to update the port enough to take them. Maybe she'll do Friday and Saturday departures? ltw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I could see them using the other weekend day opposite from an Oasis class ship at T18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T18 is available on Saturdays, but that wouldn’t allow for a 6/8 night schedule unless they do Friday/Saturday departures. Or she just does 7 night cruises from T18 on Saturdays.

I know you talk to some people who work at Royal to get your info.. Do you have any idea if they will be released by December? Every year my family goes on a cruise for NYE and I am a travel agent so its my job to book and plan. I want them all to put a deposit down on Next years while we our on this years trip so I was hoping the schedules will come out by then.

Things can change from day-to-day or month-to-month and as such, not even RCCL has a definite release date as of yet. The release date is contingent on the progress of construction on Odyssey. The good news is that RCCL should be releasing an update on the construction real soon. If you compare this with a prior construction time line or itinerary/press release from Spectrum, for instance, you can narrow the time frame down to get some kind of an idea of when the itinerary will be released.

mworkman Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Odyssey Of The Seas itinerary program is not officially announced, but what is known so far is that the ship will be homeported in the USA and most probably deployed in the Caribbean. At the beginning of its inaugural cruise season (before the Transatlantic repositioning crossing from Europe) the liner will visit UK (Port Southampton). With that statement above.... I wonder will she do a short med. cruise prior to the TA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 November 2, 2021 is the last instance I saw Odyssey listed for a Piraeus stop.
