Creator's Key Takeaways
Every year around this time, Aussies eagerly await news of Royal Caribbean's future deployment plans for Australia.
Royal Caribbean will operate a fleet of around 30 ships by the time our 26 27 summer season rolls around.
Could this be the reason that Australia's future deployment plans have been delayed this year?
Timing is crucial, and the delay in news of our local deployment until midyear aligns with expectations that the cruise line has something special in store for our market.
