Would you know what Long Carribean are? Don't remember those in the past... WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSC Mike Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 20 minutes ago, Vlad said: So that's assuming Utopia will continue with short cruises. Yes, Utopia is expected to continue doing the 3/4's it is currently scheduled for (most likely still from PC). 20 minutes ago, Vlad said: Would you know what Long Caribbean are? Not entirely sure. Most 6-8N Caribbean were already released but some will be included in there (like Wonder's final 7N's from PC in May-August 2025 before Star takes over). Hopefully someone else chimes in. I mostly only pay attention to PC cruises b/c I'm boring and a sucker for the convenience of driving an hour to the port.

Va4fam Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Wish they would mix it up every now and then and offer a 7 day itinerary for Allure and Utopia. Booking a 3d/4d B2B to the same places is not quite the same. Neesa, The Fox, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the biggest one is the islands. 2 visits to CocoCay is pretty good. But Nassau? Twice? Total waste... There's absolutely nothing to do there. Especially after you've benn there before...

smokeybandit Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Utopia is on the unofficial list of ships released Feb 19 week for short Caribbean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Have the spring 2026 deployments been released specifically for Florida ports ? When I look all I see are icon , star , Indy, adventure and oasis deployed for Miami , port Everglades and Canaveral. Are there any other ships sailing the month of march out of those ports ?

Short Caribbean has not been released yet. They will come out next week. Utopia, Wonder, and not sure what else. Other Caribbean should be out by Wednesday.

smokeybandit Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 So Utopia has suffered the opposite fate as Star. Instead of delaying the inaugural they're moving it up. So anyone booked on what was to be the inaugural will now be on the 2nd cruise. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did call and ask if we wanted to move over to the new inaugural but we were flying to cruises in those days so we just stayed on our original sailing.

They do have the option to move to the new inaugural and keep their same cabin at the same price (pro-rated for 3N vs. 4N) at least but it's obviously still not great for those who booked the original inaugural.

Austin Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Better off to keep it and book the new one so you have a B2B and 7 nights on an oasis class. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Symphony also had several cruises added as she progressed. They called them "pre-inaugural" if I recall correctly and I don't think they offered anything to guests booked on the original inaugural.

Definitely not the same as a true 7 night. No, it's definitely different, but if you really like CocoCay and sailing for the ship more than the ports, they can be enjoyable. We did one before and recently booked two more (coincidentally on Utopia). I totally understand why some wouldn't find them appealing though. Different strokes...

ckruetze Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 OK, I'm not sure if we will regret it but I booked a B2B2B2B for Easter 2026 on Utopia. So 3 days, 4 days, 3 days and 4 days. 4 Stops on Cocc Cay within two weeks, I'm sure we'll find something to do, not 100% sure what we will do 4 times in Nassau, but there is still time until 2026.

I just realised between the 4 of us, we will have 16 freestyle cups at the end of the two weeks to add to our collection at home. And since it is star class we could try all genies on the ship WAAAYTOOO, Sweety, CruzOnBye and 1 other 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
