BigDoug Posted April 22, 2010 #27 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Plenty of islands in the Caribbean yet to be seen. I would love to cruise to St. Vincent, Bonaire, Trinidad, Grenada, etc. How about going back to St. Croix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ2b2c Posted April 22, 2010 #29 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I wish they would add over-night stays at some of the existing ports. One of the main reasons I have started to look at non-cruise vacations, is I miss out on the evening and late night activities in port. Would be great to depart early the next day instead of 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted April 22, 2010 #30 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I agree with the idea of more Pacific Coast cruises stopping in Oregon/Washington etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, just build a smaller ship and give all of us midwesterners the chance to cruise without flying.:p It could be done, right? 4 or 5 years ago Carnival looked into doing great lakes cruises over the summer. But even the Fantasy class ships are too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_duck Posted April 22, 2010 #35 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Please send just one of the Carnival ships to run out of Australia so we can get rid of the broken down, ready for the scrap yard tubs we have!! But, but those are (where) Carnival ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroydarts Posted April 22, 2010 #36 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I would love to see more Pamana Canal cruises and also south america stops!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseyboy1 Posted April 22, 2010 #37 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Philadelphia to the Caribbean. :) This would be nice, but sorry to say, the cruise option out of Philly is all but dead at this point isn't it? Are there any ships from any line leaving from Philly this year? What they really need to do is deepen the Delaware River to get larger ships in there and generate a buzz about this port and all its history. IMO the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Board is sadly and literally "missing the boat" on this one.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrod Posted April 22, 2010 #38 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yes, I am all for a Great Lakes cruise. I am aware that even Carnival's smaller ships are too big to go through the locks, but perhaps Carnival should look into either building a smaller ship, or purchasing a pre-owned (with low mileage) ship for this itinerary. I too would like to experience driving to a cruise port instead of forking over the money to fly to a port. My last three cruises, the airfare cost more than our 7 day cruises cost. At least on a cruise ship they feed you all you can eat. On the more expensive airliner I feel guilty asking for that second bag of peanuts... that they will probably charge me for anyhow. On another note... I would like to see Carnival do more Southern Caribbean ports along the northern portion of South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted April 22, 2010 #39 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Would love a Bermuda from Jacksonville or Charleston. I hate the fact I have to fly north to sail south, then sail north to fly south again. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Rule Posted April 22, 2010 #43 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Great topic. . . OK my 2cents - not all related to ports 1. Bahamas/Southern Caribbean from Tampa 2. Shorter durations on some of the larger ships - mentioned in another thread that Disney is considering this. . . 3. Someone already mentioned this and it is a wonderful idea - overnight stays in some of the ports - NIGHTLIFE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbanfan Posted April 22, 2010 #44 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I would like to see that one again on the Spirit out of San Diego. We did that sailing as well and loved it......only once a year:( I wish they would do 6 day Cabo and La Paz run instead of the 5 day Ensenada an Cabo runs in Oct on the Spirit.....

spencercoop Posted April 22, 2010 Author #45 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Great topic. . . OK my 2cents - not all related to ports 1. Bahamas/Southern Caribbean from Tampa I think that would be a great idea for Tampa. They should at least do a 7 Day cruise to Key West, Nassau, and Freeport once a month like they are doing for the Conquest and the Triumph. The same thing goes for the Splendor out of LA. It would be nice if they would do a few cruises to the Pacific Northwest over the summer. It goes to the same 3 ports every week of the year.

I was considering going on the 7 day on the Spirit this April, but it didn't work out. The only cruise they have scheduled to go to the La Paz is an 8 Day on the Splendor over Christmas 2011, so it is pretty expensive. Next year they are doing a five day to Cabo and Ensenada before they go to Hawaii, instead of the usual 7 day cruise to Mazatlan, Cabo, and La Paz. I wish they would do a few every so often on the Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTT Posted April 22, 2010 #47 Share Posted April 22, 2010 this goes for ccl and all the lines that leave from east coast. we have been cruising from NY for 7 years or so and love not having to fly with a family of 4. just wish they would mix it up a bit. bermuda-beautiful-been there done that. eastern carib-been there done that a few times. don't want to go to canada at this point of our lives-cold enough in Pa. bahamas/florida-been there done that a few times-boring. I guess what I am trying to say is we could sail from NY, Philly, Baltimore easily within a 2 hour or less drive time. Never been on a bad cruise and have been on NCL, CCL, RCCL. PLEASE-just give us some NEW options from the norteast-would think it could be profitable being there is such a large population in the N.E. and the prices here already aren't the lowest around.:confused::rolleyes::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg1747 Posted April 22, 2010 #48 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Several years ago Princess did a Northern European capitals cruise from London. I'd like to see that one done again. I'd also like to see them go to Australia/New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
