EGG Posted December 4, 2013 #27 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Just to add another rumor to the thread I thought the next Sunshine class ship was going to home port half the year in Southampton and half the year in Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted December 5, 2013 #28 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just to add another rumor to the thread I thought the next Sunshine class ship was going to home port half the year in Southampton and half the year in Port Canaveral. The Anthem will split time between Southampton and Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale. This is confirmed and not a rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justyman87 Posted December 5, 2013 #29 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The Anthem will split time between Southampton and Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale. This is confirmed and not a rumor. Which I don’t get considering that the ship is built for cold weather. It’s basically doing what the Indy is doing right? Also remember that Port Canaveral is getting the Explorer Of the Seas once the Quantum arrives meaning three Royal ships in Port Canaveral. Port Canaveral will have 3 Royal the Freedom, Explorer and Enchantment along with 3 Carnival the Sunshine, Liberty and Sensation. Disney also will have 3 ships the Magic, Dream and Fantasy. Plus as always the breakaway with visit and I am sure the Splendor and possibly even the Grandeur. I do see an Oasis class coming but not as soon as everyone would like.

Yes, Anthem is basically doing the Indy's old itineraries. Explorer is only going to be based at Port Canaveral short term until her dry docking in 2015, then Explorer is going somewhere other than PC after the dry dock. I just can't remember where, Asia maybe? With the 3rd Oasis Class ship due online in 2016, that's when you will probably see one of the 3 Oasis ships go to PC. If the port authority is correct the new terminal for the larger ships should be completed late next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted December 5, 2013 #31 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If you build it they will come is the concept. I predict the Oasis. Fingers and toes crossed you are right!! I won't fly so we just made the 10 drive last month to sail on the Allure. Bringing this class of ship to PC would shorten our drive about 3 hours...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poncho1973 Posted December 5, 2013 #33 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Explorer is only going to be based at Port Canaveral short term until her dry docking in 2015 I'm actually really excited about this. We're going to do our best to take her out for a spin while she's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justyman87 Posted December 5, 2013 #34 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well it is testing the waters to see if 3 ships are profitable in Port Canaveral. However I doubt if we get an Oasis class we will see 3 ships. I think everyone would miss the FOS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted December 5, 2013 #35 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yes, you are correct, nothing is truly certain until it actually happens, but I do think that the stars at least appear to be aligning. I know Royal Caribbean execs were at Port Canaveral for a meeting with the Port Authority just before the announcement of the 6,000 passenger capacity cruise terminal. I am at least trying to keep the rumor alive. :) I hope that this is a good indicator of something good to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdudebobby8 Posted December 6, 2013 #36 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Cpt Johnny could speed skid a ship into wherever he wanted to. I actually had him as a captain on the Mariner of the Seas when it was first launched. I liked him, but he talked too much. Hes a great captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteelerfan Posted January 22, 2014 #37 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Port Canaveral isn't investing $85million in a new terminal that is the same size as the Oasis terminal in FLL "just because". The question is not if, but when is a Oasis class ship coming to Port Canaveral? The three best scenarios I think in cronological order are 1) When the Oasis comes back from Europe this Oct/Nov. 2) May/June 2015 when the current itinerary schedule runs out. 3) When the 3rd Oasis class ship is put into service in 2016. My "money" is on #2 IF RCI's contract with Port Everglades allows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
