OCSC Mike Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Welp, with Star delayed 2 weeks, I assume Wonder will do a few more August 7N's from PC and Utopia will stick around to do a few more shorties. @Lovetocruise2002 Does this change your well-crafted plan?

Matt's article says one option if you booked the original Star inaugural is to move to Wonder on 8/17 and logic says Wonder would also sail on 8/24... hope this does indeed help you! Sounds like it will. EDIT: I hit submit before looking at that Wonder flyer you re-posted. It's almost like that was printed knowing Star was going to be delayed. Or maybe I just have my tin foil hat on, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Oh shoot, I take that back. This might not help me. I just saw the email from the cancellation of Star and Wonder, August 17th is one of the replacement options. That is the one I want to book....I hope this does not affect the release of those itineraries tonight. Neesa and Sweety 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So new I can't even search it by date & port on the Royal booking engine yet, but the deployment announcement links work. And I do see one itinerary that works better for my group than what we are currently holding for almost 2 months now with Carnival, so I've notified my agent to do his magic and try to grab us some Space (& Time) with Royal.

Now just waiting to see what Navigator's prices look like before I start pressing "buy" Letting my TA do the dickering over specific cabin classes, rates, and GAP points to what he thinks is a good deal for us, but we're now holding a block of 50 cabins, so Carnival will be getting some inventory back very soon, LOL. I too would have liked to see more variety in the 7+ day range, but I got the EXACT departure date that works best for my group, and I can live with a stop on the way home at tired old Ensenada as long as I have the overnight in Cabo first, and a sea day in each direction.

Refreshing every half hour to see how the port docking timing & various cabin categories shake out. Departure date & general itinerary were enough for me to know what I needed, and prices will only go up by waiting, so we pounced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 In summary: Jewel doesn't go to Europe, joins the short Florida market from Port Everglades doing 3/4 for the late spring and summer of 2025. Wonder hangs around Port Canaveral doing 7 nights until the end of August then moves to Miami to start 3/4. Freedom continues doing short Florida but with some 3/4/5/6 from Miami. Utopia stays in Port Canaveral doing 3/4. Liberty stays in Port Everglades doing short Florida 3/4. Quantum joins Navigator in LA.
