When is Lighthouse Point due to be completed? Any guesses as to whether it will be included on the itineraries in the next release?

They haven't started construction on it yet. Last update it wasn't due to open until sometime during the first half of 2024.

I don't think it's anywhere near being included in upcoming itineraries

I think they just cleared the last approval bar from the Bahamian government, so I doubt it will be ready by then.

Thanks for the speedy replies. Wishful thinking….

Based on satellite imagery they started work literally last week, and Disney has said they're just starting construction: https://disneycruiselineblog.com/20...ovals-pave-way-for-construction-commencement/

The FAQs on the Lighthouse Point website were very recently updated to say:
"Construction could begin in early 2022 with completion in the first half of 2024."

Some of the environmental docs indicated that construction could be in excess of 2 years, so my guess is they're looking at early summer 2024, potentially to align with delivery of ship #6 at a similar time of year as the Wish.

Impatiently waiting on summer '23 itineraries, got a placeholder from last August and I'm hoping to squeeze in a short cruise from Miami just before it expires.

What is everyone hoping to book? We are wanting the EBTA followed by the Mediterranean. Originally we had both of those booked for 2021 but of course was cancelled. I had assumed the cruises would be on the Magic but have read some really great insights that it could be the Dream. Either way I just want to get the cruises booked! haha

I am hoping for a Southern itinerary.

Looks like they're definitely switching Magic out for Dream.
