It's set sail to the Caribbean and two private island destinations.

Cruise fans have been patiently waiting for the ship’s debut since its float-out ceremony in September 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic played a factor in the CDC’s no sail order and eventual conditional sailing order for cruise ships, which ultimately expired on Jan.
