After further inaugural celebrations in Miami in early July, the ship will sail alternating seven-day Eastern and western Caribbean itineraries from July 10 until April 2011.
Ports of call on the Eastern Caribbean itinerary include Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands; and Nassau, Bahamas.
