Ampurp85 Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 One of the captains on Oasis said icon 4 might be Phoenix(sp). I thought he was kidding but....... asquared17 1 Quote
smokeybandit Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Icon 4's ship code was HE before they scrubbed the unbuilt ships from loading in the browser when you log in. So I assumed HERO. But, pHoEnix matches and I can see why that wouldn't want a ship code of HO. Ampurp85, AlmondFarmer, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 4 Quote

theswiftcoder Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Does anyone know the release date for Singapore?My TA says March but I read an article (https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2025/01/16/royal-caribbean-delays-new-2026-2027-cruise-ship-deployments) that said it’s this week Quote

In any case, the current release date appears to be the week of March 17th as your TA said.

Yeah, I'm sure bookings haven't lived up to what they expected. I am targeting Jan/Feb '27 to sail on a Radiance Class ship for the first time so perhaps this would be a good option. Plus I love SD compared to LA so that's a plus. Quote

If there was any truth to the screen shots multiple people grab last week and posted on both FB and instagram from a supposed test load Icon 3 after opening the season in Europe in August 2026 will then homeport in Port Everglades doing 6 and 8 night cruises for the fall/winter season from mid-November 2026 through the end of March 2027. If those screen shots were true I'm most likely going to book Icon 3 for a 8 nighter in either January or February of 2027. Sweety 1 Quote

If those screen shots were true I'm most likely going to book Icon 3 for a 8 nighter in either January or February of 2027. I saw the test loads. There were two in the Med, one for August and the other for October, and then the 8-night Southern Caribbean that @Southern Dan is eyeing up. I'd be looking at a Med sailing. It's going to be pricey enough without having to pay for transatlantic flights as well. Sweety 1 Quote

Good luck! Tbh, I could take it or leave it, but I know DH would be over the moon to sail on it and he has a BIG birthday coming up next year, so I'm thinking that would be an amazing birthday surprise for him.

smokeybandit Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 I like how the "west coast" cruises are now merely "California" cruises. Of course, same thing, but just kind of funny how they changed it. Baked Alaska, Shari and Sweety 3 Quote
Shari Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 So hoping Serenade is out of San Diego! We lived there for nearly 30 years. Our kids and their families are still there and the friends we always cruise with are there. It would be perfect for us! We also love the Radiance class ships. WIN-WIN!

smokeybandit Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 I wish they staggered the turnaround days better for the west coast ports. I'm looking for something that leaves out of San Diego or LA on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday for a week in March 2027, zero results. Quote
Shari Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 The prices are outrageous! Whatever happened to starting with a deal and then raising the prices later! Quote

Southern Dan Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 So there are a handful of ships shown for Nov 26 through Apr 27 with no sailings listed however if you dig around you can see # of nights, departure port and destinations. This is what I found, not sure if Royal is just messing around with us at this point but I figured I'd share... Explorer - Departing from PTC with 2-5 Nt Sailings (Labadee, PP DR) Grandeur - Departing from TPA with 2-5 Nt Sailings (Coz MX, PCM) Harmony - Departing from PTC with 6-8 Nt Sailings (PDCC, St Maarten, SJ PR) Liberty - Departing from GAL with 2-5 Nt Sailings (Coz MX, PCM) Oasis - Departing from FLL with 2-5 Nt Sailings (Nassau, PDCC) Vision - Departing from FLL with 2-5 Nt Sailings (Bimini, PDCC) OCSC Mike, Sweety and Lovetocruise2002 3 Quote
