Port Tampa Bay celebrates the return of cruising with Royal Caribbean International’s Serenade of the Seas

Oct 08 2021 - Port Tampa Bay and Royal Caribbean International celebrate the return of cruising from our port that has been more than 18 months in the making. Port Tampa Bay will welcome Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas to Cruise Terminal 6 before she departs on her maiden voyage from Tampa Bay with cruise guests. This is the first cruise vessel departure from Tampa Bay since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a no-sail order on March 14, 2020. The return of cruising will have a far-reaching impact on our region, with many small and local businesses standing to benefit. Business Research & Economic Advisors estimated that a 3,000-passenger ship generates an average of $334,000 in passenger and crew onshore spending per call in a homeport city. The development of Sparkman Wharf, Water Street, Armature Works, and other hotel, dining, shopping, and entertainment projects in Tampa continues to boost the attractiveness of the bay area as a homeport. Cruise visitors to Tampa have the convenience of accessing a nationally top-ranked airport, secure parking garages – just steps away from all three cruise terminals, world-class beaches, and local attractions like Busch Gardens, the Florida Aquarium, and Ybor City.

Port Tampa Bay/Royal Caribbean International Press Conference:

Who – Port Tampa Bay and Royal Caribbean International

What – A press conference welcoming back the return of cruising from Tampa Bay.                             The event will feature:

Cruising is back in Tampa Bay with first ship in 18 months

• Bernadette Berdychowski Times staff

TAMPA — Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas docked at Cruise Terminal 6 Saturday morning for its maiden voyage to CocoCay in the Bahamas.

It’s the first cruise ship to sail out of Port Tampa Bay since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a no-sail order more than a year and a half ago.

“It’s been a long 18 months,” said Russell Benford, vice president of government relations for Royal Caribbean at a press conference before the ship’s departure.

Passengers with luggage in hand arrived and went through COVID-19 testing before going onboard.

On his drive over, Visit Tampa Bay’s CEO Santiago Corrada said that when he saw the ship docked at the port, it brought a tear to his eye. Cruises are the last critical piece of the region’s tourism industry to come back, he said. Leisure and domestic travel carried Tampa Bay’s tourism throughout the pandemic. Business conferences are beginning to pick up speed, the borders will soon open to international travelers and now cruises returned.

“It’s a huge economic driver,” Corrada said. “We’re thrilled that we’re back.”

Cruises usually makes up about a fifth of the port’s revenues, which dropped by $7.5 million since the March 2020 shutdown compared to 2019. Travelers and crew members for a 3,000-passenger ship spend an average of $334,000 in a port city, according to estimates from Business Research & Economic Advisor, a market analyst firm.

While the return of cruises is expected to bring in tourists spending money in Tampa Bay, the ships won’t be completely filled yet.

The Serenade of the Seas is set at 50 percent capacity, with about 1,000 or more passengers on board plus 800 crew members, all who are required to be vaccinated unless under the age of 12.

J.P. Peterson, an avid cruise traveler from Atlanta, said the smaller passenger count makes it feel like traveling in a private yacht. The trip from Tampa to the Bahamas is Peterson’s second cruise since being on one of the last Oasis of the Seas cruises to sail before the coronavirus halted operations. His first one was between Mexico City and Nassau in June.

He struggled with booking and had three different trips cancelled, Peterson said. He stopped looking for a while, but in January he booked the tickets for October thinking that by then, cruises would return.

“None of us thought it would last a year and a half,” Peterson said.

There’s large demand for cruising after the hiatus, said Vicky Evans, assistant vice president of travel sales for AAA in Tampa. Overall, cruise sales for 2022 are outpacing 2019, according to Evans.

With cruises restarting, port officials said Saturday Tampa is set to add more destinations than it had before the pandemic, including the Dominican Republic, the Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.

Ultimate World Cruise has finally ended, and passengers are ‘exhausted’

It’s the nine month cruise that went viral for its length of time at sea, now — passengers are revealing what they really thought of the mammoth voyage.

Cruise finds island that ‘doesn’t exist on map’

Unexpected detail in middle of huge ship

Royal Caribbean’s nine-month Ultimate World Cruise that quickly went viral is finally coming back to port after what was the adventure of a lifetime for some 650 travellers who paid between AU$90,000 to AU$175,000.

“Nothing can prepare you for nine months,” Joe Martucci, 67, told USA Today of the grand voyage to 60 countries that hopped across South America, Antarctica, China, Madagascar and many more far-flung destinations. The extended excursion was set to end on Tuesday.

“It’s always been a dream of my family to travel the world,” 26-year-old South African cruise passenger Amike Oosthuizen previously told The Sun.

Even dreams can be tiring, though. Houston voyager Adita Larson described the time at sea as “exhausting”.

Other travelers, like 47-year-old Brandee Lake, said there weren’t too many lulls in the water. She described the three-quarters of a year as rapidly moving.

“It’s a blur,” Lake told USA Today. “We don’t know where we were yesterday; we don’t know where we’re going tomorrow.”

Packing-wise, she even said her three large suitcases plus carry-ons were too much.

“I pared it down, and it’s still just too much,” Lake said. “It’s kind of like your own closet: you really only wear about 10-20 per cent of it.”

“We had people messaging us to say, ‘Thank you so much for taking me along on this journey’,” Audrey told CNN, recalling that fans greeted them during a stop in Halifax, Canada.

Even those who kept up with the happenings from dry land amassed their own TikTok following, like Beth Anne Fletcher of the United Kingdom.

“If you’re interested in travel and you’re also interested in psychology and people, what more could you want?” she told CNN, mentioning that folks on the cruise went out of their way to meet her while in Southampton, England.

“It was such a surreal day because we have been talking about these people for this long, and then to actually spend time with them, it was like being with old friends,” Fletcher said.

Lake agreed that making friends was a bit of a natural process, too. “I mean, obviously, it’s just like any other community,” she said.

“You have the people that you are really close to, some of them are acquaintances, maybe some that are not your people, but nothing wrong. It’s just, you have your group that you naturally gel with.”

Even if things weren’t so hunky-dory and people wanted alone time, “there’s lots of spaces on the ship that you can go and hide,” Audrey Martucci told CNN. Plus, a person’s cabin always got the job done.

More Coverage

The trial cruise — which endured some hardships and hijinks from Hurricane Beryl, a passenger death, rumours of swinging couples and rerouting due to military fighting in the Red Sea — was enough of a hit for Royal Caribbean to announce a new journey, according to RoyalCarribeanBlog.org.

Not only that, but they are preparing for a reunion cruise next summer in Alaska on the same vessel from the global voyage, the Serenade of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean Ship Returns to Miami After 274-Night World Cruise

• September 10, 2024

The Serenade of the Seas returned to Miami today to wrap up Royal Caribbean International’s Ultimate World Cruise.

As the first-ever world cruise offered by the company, the 274-night journey sailed from the same port on Dec. 10, 2023 .

Sailing to the Caribbean, South America, Asia, and the Mediterranean, the cruise was also the longest ever offered by Royal Caribbean International.

The itinerary featured visits to approximately 150 ports in roughly 60 countries across seven continents, including Antarctica.

Debuting in the company’s portfolio, the latter was one of the highlights of the cruise, with the Serenade offering scenic cruising around the Antarctic Peninsula in January.

Now ending in PortMiami, the fourth and final segment of the global journey sailed from Spain on July 10, 2024 .

The 63-night itinerary sailed to several destinations on the European coast before crossing the Atlantic for North America, the Bahamas and Bermuda.

A total of 40 ports of call were visited during the segment, with overnight stays in Reykjavik and New York City, as well as Le Havre, a port near France’s capital city, Paris.

The itinerary was highlighted by ports of call in Morocco and Western Europe, as well as visits to various Norwegian Fjords, the Baltic Sea and Greenland.

The Serenade of the Seas started Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise in Miami.

The first segment of the voyage sailed to South America and Antarctica before passing Cape Horn and sailing to destinations in Central America, the Mexican Riviera, the U.S. West Coast, Australia and the South Pacific.

The itinerary also included ports of call in Southeast Asia and the Far East before arriving in the Indian Ocean and Africa.

Marking Royal Caribbean’s debut in the region, the Serenade visited destinations in the Seychelles, Madagascar, South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Ghana and more.

The 2003-built ship then visited the Canary Islands before arriving in the Mediterranean for the cruise’s final segment.

Serenade of the Seas beendet ihre Ultimate World Cruise nach 274 Tagen

• Niklas Hennemann

Seit dem 10. Dezember 2023 war die Serenade of the Seas von Royal Caribbean International unterwegs, nun hat das Kreuzfahrtschiff die erste Ultimate World Cruise der Reederei zu Ende gebracht. Nach 274 erlebnisreichen Tagen mit Zielen in Südamerika, der Antarktis, Mittelamerika, dem Südpazifik, Neuseeland & Australien, in Südostasien, im Orient, auf dem Indischen Ozean, in Afrika und in Europa ist das Schiff zurück in Miami, dem Start- und Zielhafen der Weltreise.

Die Gäste der bisher längsten Weltreise aller Zeiten mit Royal Caribbean International haben am gestriegen 10. September 2024 das Schiff verlassen. Es waren allerdings längst nicht alle Gäste für die vollständigen 274 Tage an Bord, die Ultimate World Cruise war auch in deutlich kürzeren Teilabschnitten buchbar. Während der Reise kam es wegen verschiedener Gegebenheiten zu einer umfangreichen Routenänderung. Aufgrund der Sicherheitslage am Roten Meer musste die Serenade of the Seas südlich um Afrika fahren, sodass zahlreiche Ziele auf dem Indischen Ozean und in Afrika zur Reise hinzukamen und im Gegenzug deutlich weniger Ziele im Mittelmeer angelaufen wurden.

Auf ihrer Ultimate World Cruise hat die Serenade of the Seas eine ganze Reihe an Erstanläufen gefeiert, einige dieser Häfen wurden sogar erstmals von einem Royal Caribbean Kreuzfahrtschiff besucht. Es gab in diesem Rahmen auch einen Erstanlauf in Deutschland. Am 9. August 2024 lag die Serenade of the Seas erstmals am Ostseekai in Kiel. Der zweite deutsche Hafen auf der Ostsee-Etappe der Ultimate World Cruise war Rostock-Warnemünde, für viele internationale Gäste der Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die deutsche Hauptstadt Berlin. Dort war die Serenade of the Seas allerdings zuvor schonmal zu Gast, sodass es sich hierbei nicht um einen Erstanlauf handelte.

Die Serenade of the Seas ist nun wieder zurück und bleibt in den nächsten Monaten in der Karibik. Das Schiff wird bis März 2025 für fünftägige Kreuzfahrten in die westliche Karibik und neuntägige Kreuzfahrten in die östliche Karibik in Tampa im US-Bundesstaat Florida stationiert.
