Independence to sail from Port Everglades 2012-2013

[Topo Gigio]

Just read on Royal Caribbean's FB that she will be home ported again for cruise season 12-13. My favorite ship!

[DanJ]

I wonder if they will do the upgrades that Liberty got last spring as well. And also which ship will leave Port Everglades.

[Topo Gigio]

My guess would be Liberty. Or the demand is so high that they can justify another ship in Florida!

[AdrenalineRush]

Great news! It would be great if they opened up booking for the TA cruise this or next week, so I can book it onboard :p

The ship will sail a three-night Bahamas cruise, before alternating eight-night Eastern Caribbean and six-night Western Caribbean itineraries. In the Eastern Caribbean, guests will enjoy calls at San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, and Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s private beach destination on the northern coast of Haiti. In the Western Caribbean, Independence of the Seas will call at Falmouth, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman; and Labadee. Additionally, a special six-night Western Caribbean itinerary, calling at Grand Cayman, and Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico, will sail on Jan. 13, 2013

Glad to see her coming back for the winters.....that 8 night eastern itinerary she was doing before she left was excellent....happy to see it coming back again:)

I just heard the Transatlantic on 22nd Nov 2012 is only calling into 3 ports..Lisbon, Ponta Delgada(Azores) and Nassau...rather disappointing for a 13 night TA don't you think? :(

Looks forward to the Eastbound TA in 2013 with much anticipation. I was on Inde for her last Eastbound TA and it was the best cruise i've been on, and it was cheap as chips! Will certainly be booking it again when available.

[Wilda]

[enyliram]

I have been chatting online about it with my US TA .dont think they are showing up yet on RCCL website though..sorry.

[enyliram]

any details you would like to share?

[danp]

I hope the Liberty comes to New Jersey

[BMT]

Sooo....... what will be replacing her from Southampton? If any!!

[mpoole3]

DO you think RCCL with have their unlimited drink packages on the INDY when she leaves out of FL?

[Guest csn]

Sooo....... what will be replacing her from Southampton? If any!!

 

I read the title of the thread and thought exactly that. I guess it would be a freedom class ship to keep in tune with the British market. Would be great if Oasis "nipped" over for a while :p

Prices are HIGH! Just checked a cruise (called reservations dept) for March 2013, it was $5100 for 3 people in a JS and $4100 for 3 people in a D1.

[mpoole3]

They have posted the sailings on RCCL site now.

[Jumbiecruiser]

Glad to see that happening. I am betting on the Liberty moving to Bayonne to compete with Norwegians new ship. Freedom would stay in Pt. Canaveral. Maybe they will send the Explorer over the pond.

No prices though
