Lastly Royal Caribbean recently launched the giant Utopia of the Seas in PC and I bet that is taking some of the possible Wish passengers away as well

And Royal is launching Star of the Seas out of Port Canaveral as well. I forget just how many new, massive ships have launched, and how many of them are serving the Caribbean cruise market.

DCL wanted their cake and to eat it, too. We just booked the Dream, and it's way cheaper on a cost-per-night than the Treasure, which we were also looking at, and the Dream's itinerary is much better with the two private islands. Probably some evidence that newer ships just by themselves aren't enough of an attraction, that itineraries still matter a great deal. Hopefully this is the start of a realignment of itineraries that includes more interesting destinations overall.

We're on the Treasure in mid/late August....but I booked it back in March 2024 (I think) with a placeholder and we liked the Wish so we wanted the Treasure. If we were more last minute planners, we might make different decisions.
