- 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.
