* Royal Caribbean Sets Quantum’s World Repositioning Cruise
When Quantum of the Seas ends its now-limited run in New York next May, Royal Caribbean earlier announced its new home port would be in Shanghai. In the intervening week, they have left the intriguing question open of how the ship will get there.
  They answered that question yesterday when they released the ship’s itinerary and opened it for sale to past passengers, and it will open to the general public tomorrow (May 22). The line is sending it on a 53-day eastbound Global Odyssey via the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean.

* Opening the Window Wider
Norwegian Cruise Line said today they are expanding the booking window to pre-reserve specialty dining and other options, doubling the previous window.

* Under the Bay and to the Port
The long-awaited tunnel to the Port of Miami officially opened on Monday, although it is still to be opened to regular traffic, but that will happen any day now, as soon as final inspections and tests are completed. For those driving to the port via the area’s expressways, it will be a shortcut directly into the port.
