| Jewel of the Seas Departures |
We attended the 51st weekly update from Royal Caribbean today and there were more deployment announcements in addition to an update from CLIA regarding ongoing efforts to work with CDC to resume sailing (more on that in a separate post).
As of today, Royal Caribbean's Summer / Fall 2021 Jewel of the Seas deployment from Cyprus, Greece is available for booking. They have worked closely with the Greek government and health authorities to establish the necessary health and safety protocols to begin sailings. As with other cruises which have already been announced, the initial sailings will operate at a reduced capacity.
Probably the biggest news among recent deployment announcements was the return to the West Coast this Winter with sailings from Los Angeles on Navigator of the Seas. These will be open for booking as early as next week, after some final arrangements have been made. See the statements from Royal Caribbean below for more details about the impact of this reposition of Navigator of the Seas.
