tonyfsu21 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Of SOTS is scheduled to enter service 8/2025, when will her home port and sailings be announced? We are looking to book Thanksgiving 2025 and already have Icon booked for Thanksgiving 2024. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be released next Tuesday, 12/5. It is also just about guaranteed to be sailing from PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Just now, OCSC Mike said: My understanding is that it will begin in July. I thought so too! But then I saw Tony's post and thought that I assumed wrong... tonyfsu21 and OCSC Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 But I also cannot remember why my understanding was July 2025. I just had that month in my mind this whole time for Star of the Seas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmondFarmer Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 From opening schedule for deployment the week of December 4th release is for sailings July 2025-April 2026. This should lead one to assume Star will begin sailings sometime in July 2025 tonyfsu21, Lovetocruise2002 and OCSC Mike 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you trusted me posting that? @AlmondFarmer's logic is pretty sound too. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 End of July or early August depending on the shipyard. At some point the shipyard will go firm on a handover date and then Royal will bake that into the schedule. That may have happened already (shipyard commitment) or may be about to happen soon. Only Royal and the shipyard know at this point. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Also, my money is on Port Canaveral. Until Royal announces it, anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. We have been enjoying the extended trip before the Thanksgiving week sailing with the kids in Disney the past couple years.

JasonOasis Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I agree with what others have said, Star will most likely go to Port Canaveral. However I wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd Icon Class ships goes to Galveston or Icon goes to Galveston and the 3rd Icon Class replaces Icon at Port Miami in 2026 when that ship is delivered.
