Cruise Ship Reaches Port Everglades to Prepare for Maiden Voyage

Royal Caribbeanโ€™s Odyssey of the Seas will soon sail from its homeport for the first time

As the cruise industry battles Gov. Ron DeSantis over vaccine requirements on ships, Royal Caribbeanโ€™s Odyssey of the Seas cruised into Port Everglades today to prepare for its maiden voyage. The vessel will become the companyโ€™s first Quantum Ultra Class cruise ship to sail in the U.S once it departs Port Everglades on July 3.

The ship features 16 decks with a two-level pool deck, the first Giovanniโ€™s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar on a cruise ship and a RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator. Once it’s ready to perform routine sailings, the shipโ€™s itinerary will include six and eight-night Caribbean cruises through 2022.

At 1,138 feet long and 135 feet wide with a cruising speed of 22 knots and over 2,000 staterooms, Odyssey of the Seas joins Royal Caribbean’s next-generation SeaPlex class of ships.
