Cruise Fans! We will have to wait a bit longer...
Royal Caribbean has lots of surprises under its sleeve waiting for us in 2025... but it seems plans for one of them have to change a bit. Any guesses of what we are talking about?
Star of the Seas, the much-anticipated ship for next year, was set to debut on August 17th. However, the company has announced its cancellation. Sad face.
So, let's dive into the reasons behind Royal Caribbean's decision and explore alternative options available while awaiting the newly announced date.
Star of the Seas is almost here... probably
In late 2023, we announced the opening of bookings for the Star of the Seas. Initially, the sailing date was set for August 17th, 2025.
However, in the ever-evolving world of cruises, changes can occur rapidly and unexpectedly, and the official debut of this cruise is no exception. Fortunately, there's no need for concern as the change is minor, with less than a month's delay. Wohoo!
If you've been eagerly preparing for this anticipated experience by stocking up on cute swimsuits, purchasing tons of sunscreen, and clearing more space on your camera roll, then keep all these essentials close at hand. The new official date is set for August 31st, 2025. That's right, just 14 days more of waiting, yay!
But... why the change?
As with every huge project, there is a team in charge of reviewing the progress periodically. In the case of Star of the Seas, when the reviewing time came, they realized there was still some work to be done before the ship could be ready to sail.
But no worries, this assures us that the company only delivers the best of the best so they can guarantee guests an unforgettable experience. It's best to delay the initial trip for a few weeks but make sure everything is working well, after all.
What other options do I have?
Royal Caribbean's fleet boasts a multitude of ships, each offering its own unique experiences while embodying the essence of the company. However, if you're seeking an experience similar to the highly anticipated Star of the Seas, then Icon of the Seas could be the ideal option you've been searching for.
This brand-new ship set sail back in late 2023 and is offering incredible Caribbean cruise options for 2025 as well. It comes packed with incredible new features never seen before, like the biggest waterpark on a cruise ship. Let's just say that it's quite impressive.
Is it time for a cruise adventure?
We're bursting with excitement at the thought of exploring the Caribbean aboard the Star of the Seas, even if we have to wait just a little longer.
But remember, Icon of the Seas is just one of over 20 ships ready to offer you an unforgettable experience. Reach out to our team, and we'll ensure to find you the best options for a wonderful journey surrounded by your loved ones.
Don't hesitate to ask any further questions or for additional tips to make the most out of your Caribbean experience. One thing's for sure: sunscreen and swimsuits are essential for a truly great time!
Until the next one, dear cruiser!
