JUST IN FROM RCI: Allure of the Seas WILL NOT be home-ported in Galveston in 2021

"Due to the Impact of COVID-19 and given the closure of shipyards, along with the disruption to the supply chain, Royal Caribbean would like to make you aware of some updates Regarding Allure of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, and Adventure of the Seas:

- The Allure of the Seas Amplification has been postponed until further notice. Additionally, due to pier construction delays in the Galveston terminal, the pier will unfortunately not be ready to welcome an Oasis Class ship. Therefore Allure will no longer set sail from Galveston, Texas, and rather, local fan-favorite Liberty of the Seas will assume Allure's itineraries in late 2021

- The Adventure, Explorer, and Liberty of the Seas amplifications have also been postponed until further notice. All Explorer sailings will be canceled through August 2020 to complete a Technical dry-dock.

Travel partners with clients effected by these changes will be notified directly with more details and options available."

NERTZ! Didn't have any booked out of GALV on RCL, but was looking forward to those improvements. Got 3 after this Nov (NCL-NOLA, if it goes!) out of GALV on CCL...good ol VISTA and newly renamed (but not refurbed) RADIANCE. Being taught at a young age to "follow the money" it amazes me that all these cruise lines expect to survive this. Just how much debt can anybody take on b4 the ships sink...or get somebody elses logo on em???
