Can you believe it's the last days of July already? It is the middle of Summer and there is a lot of Royal Caribbean news to catch up from during this week.
Royal Caribbean's sailings are selling faster than ever.
Jason Liberty, President and Chief Executive Officer for Royal Caribbean Group, said that the cruise line's "2024 bookings have consistently outpaced last year throughout the entire second quarter and into July, despite the fact that we have significantly fewer staterooms left to sell," he said.
As inventory decreases, staterooms are continuing to sell at increasing prices.
Royal Caribbean faces more cruising demand than ever, as well as an uptick in pre-cruise purchases like WiFi, drink packages, and shore excursions.

$10,000 Luxury Suite on Utopia of the Seas
One of the top suites you can book on Royal Caribbean's newest ship comes with a big price tag and lots of space.
Matt stayed in the Crown Loft Suite with his family on the inaugural sailing of Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship.
It has two levels and two full bathrooms, but it also cost significantly more than a balcony cabin.
Utopia of the Seas sets sail and it's worth trying twice
Guests will have a multitude of activities, shows, and dining choices to choose from on Utopia of the Seas.
There simply won't be enough time to experience everything within the 3- and 4-night sailings the ship currently offers.
Matt booked a "back-to-back" sailing on Utopia, getting more value for his travel and turning a weekend cruise into a full week vacation.
Royal Caribbean will add another cruise ship to Los Angeles
Royal Caribbean just announced that it will deploy another ship to the port of Los Angeles.
Beginning in May 2025, the Quantum-Class will sail 3, 4, and 5-night cruises out of California.
Instead of sending Ovation of the Seas to Tianjin, China, as previously announced, the vessel will serve to meet high demand for Royal Caribbean cruises on the West Coast.
I tried the new chef-driven Japanese restaurant and it surprised me
What can you expect from the new Japanese dining experience on Utopia of the Seas?
Matt recently tried Izumi Omakase, high-quality Omakase dining experience created by Master Chef Travis Kamiyama.
The host-guided and chef-driven meal was the perfect high-quality meal for a lover of Japanese food.
