After delaying the May 2021- April 2022 deployment schedule by a couple weeks, the new opening schedule has largely been postponed until further notice.

Royal Caribbean's new opening schedule for May 2021- April 2022 deployment simply lists the Short Caribbean sailings debuting the week of March 9, 2020 and the remaining deployment coming at a later date.

Based on the previous deployment schedule, it is reasonable to assume that the China, Australia, Singapore and Transpacific deployments are among the itineraries to be released at a later date.

Deployment schedules gives consumers an idea of when to expect particular cruise schedules to become available to start looking at future cruises.

The highly anticipated next release of new Royal Caribbean sailings for May 2021 - April 2022 has been pushed back a couple weeks.

Royal Caribbean has shared a new schedule of when the new sailings will go on sale.

• Week of March 9, 2020: China – Phase 2

• Week of March 16. 2020: Australia
• Week of March 23, 2020: China – Phase 3
• Week of March 30, 2020: Singapore & Transpacifics

Essentially, China Phase 2 and Short Caribbean will now both be released the week of March 9, instead of the week of Week of February 24 and March 2, respectively.

These 2021-2022 sailings are in addition to the ones that were released in November & December 2019.
