- Independence of the Seas will continue to sail three- and four-night getaways from Port Canaveral to The Bahamas, with full-day visits in Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.

- Liberty of the Seas will sail from Fort Lauderdale on alternating three- and four-night winter voyages to Perfect Day at CocoCay and Grand Bahama Island.

- Mariner of the Seas will continue sailing from Port Canaveral through the winter, now with southbound four- and five-night cruises to the Western Caribbean and Perfect Day at CocoCay.

- Brilliance of the Seas will set sail from Tampa for the winter season to operate a mix of four- and five-night Western Caribbean itineraries with select four-night sailings to Nassau and Key West.

- Rhapsody of the Seas will sail four- and five-night sailings from Tampa to Cozumel and Grand Cayman in the spring and early fall. In the heart of summer, it will operate seven-night cruises visiting Roatan, Honduras; Belize City, Belize; Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico.

- Following a summer in the Big Apple, Adventure of the Seas will return to Galveston for the winter season to sail four- and five-night Western Caribbean itineraries to Cozumel and Costa Maya.

- Grandeur of the Seas will move to Galveston for the summer in 2022, following the ship's first winter season cruising from Barbados. The four- and five-night itineraries from the Lonestar State will visit Costa Maya and Cozumel.
