MKSglitz Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I know many of you will think that I'm crazy, but I'm a planner. According to the posted schedule for 2025-2026 ship deployments, the week of February 19, 2024 Long Caribbean cruises were to be posted for the sailing time of October 2025 - April 2026. I would like to book a 9 - 11 day cruise for January 2026 from Miami. As of today, I haven't seen any of those sailings posted and I've been checking every day. Anyone else waiting?

OCSC Mike Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Royal isn't offering many longer sailings these days. Others would know better than me but I'm not sure there are any Florida cruises left to be waiting for. Doug_Texas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaMG Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I was watching for those too but it looks like they may not be happening any more. However, they have yet to announce what Serenade and Radiance are doing over that period. Those two ships are in Alaska over the summer and I would expect at least one of them to come back through the Panama Canal into the Caribbean for the winter. Perhaps one or both of them will offer the longer itineraries. It's a question of keeping checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Texas Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I believe they have 7+ night Caribbean already scheduled up to April, 2026. They were released prior to the deployment schedule announcement. I was disappointed as well as I have a "NextCruise" deposit that is awaiting sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a 12-day for January 2026, but I’m leaving from Cape Liberty. I want to plan further out so like you, I’m patiently waiting for the rest of 2026 to be deployed.

Historically the rest of 2026(May-December) will not be released until November/December of 2024. Ryan79 and Gilley 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the dates on the deployment release schedule @Doug_Texas posted above. That schedule is typical for RCCL releases the past few years-give or take a month. Keep checking periodically, changes can happen. Gilley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
