pkrchkr Posted January 2, 2011 #126 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Ok so I'm thinking we are not leaning toward the breeze anymore?Since it wil not be over to the US until the fall of 2012. Late Feb is a good time for us but the farther you get toward the March april area you will have to deal with springbreakers. So now are looking a the Dream, the Magic , the Miracle?Where are you leaning toward for ports of call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now are looking a the Dream, the Magic , the Miracle?Where are you leaning toward for ports of call? Hi K! I cannot speak for the rest of the group, but for us, I am planning on booking the Liberty for March 3-10, 2012 (my kids' spring break). It's not so much for the ship (but I do love the Liberty) it's for the ports: HMC, St. Thomas, San Juan, and GT. Great beach days which will not cost an arm and a leg, history of San Juan, and I just love St. Thomas. I am really hoping that at least some of us will come along - even if it's not a "big" group. I can see from the poll that quite a few people voted for March, but not sure about the week, ship for some. So...what does everyone think about the timing / itinerary / ship?

pkrchkr Posted January 3, 2011 #130 Share Posted January 3, 2011 hey Sharon, I take that GT is short for grand turk.. I've never been there but I hear years ago that Canada was in the market to buy the island and never did. what is HMC?I've been to San juan as you can tell from my profile picture of the bat was from the bacardi rum factory( not impressed) so I think if we did go that it would bea see day.Is the liberty in the same class as the glory? is it bigger, smaller or the same size? does it have the water park?I would consider it as an option but still Nov would be best for us.. not counting anything out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, GT is Grand Turk and HMC is Half Moon Cay (inexpensive ports with free beaches!). Liberty is the same class as Glory (Conquest class). Liberty has a big slide, not sure about the water park? Here's a link to the Liberty http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/ships/carnival_liberty/default.aspx?shipCode=LI No serenity area either - but it is a family vacation :) Does have giant screen, and a sports park (basketball and mini-putt). I have heard mixed reviews about San Juan, but I think I'd find an excursion to do thru the ship (maybe a tour of some kind). We'll be trying to watch our $$$ as there will be 4 of us this time, and maybe my MIL as well. Also trying to convince my mom and her boyfriend. We've always gone in November as well - but I really don't want to pull the kids out of school, and this itinerary (to me) is perfect for all of us. Fingers crossed that more Canucks will join us!

soccersharon Posted January 6, 2011 Author #132 Share Posted January 6, 2011 OK, Canucks - looks like I will be booking the Eastern itinerary for the Liberty, March 3 to 10, 2012 (Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas, San Juan, Grand Turk). Anyone else interested? We can celebrate spring in the tropics! Prices are pretty good...:) Come on, you know you wanna ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
