jktheangel Posted April 14, 2014 #2026 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So I assuming that if they are on the ship now then they won't be starting this Sunday and also we may be later getting on ? Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted April 16, 2014 #2027 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It's a huge travel week for Mexico. Guess that's why I saw so many Mex plates on IH10 headed to Houston today. Went to ranch and noted them on highway and at two different stops I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetWet! Posted April 17, 2014 #2028 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not sure how many have seen the "Quantum to China" announcement, and the resulting mega-thread started last night, but part of the ripple effect explains why they've waited so long to release the 2015 Galveston itineraries, and why now Navigator is staying in Galveston, at least through November 2015 and likely quite a bit longer. Quantum is being sent to China as of summer 2015, and Liberty is going to NY/NJ to replace it for that market. Of course, that leaves Galveston with Navigator, and I'm betting significantly delays the timeframe for a larger ship arriving for Galveston now.

Liberty coming to Galveston after leaving Bayonne when Anthem arrives there. Edited April 17, 2014 by ARCruisinNana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted April 17, 2014 #2030 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) SURPRISE! Never ceases to amaze....I would bet that decision was directly affected by when work will be completed on the channel/terminal. May not see the bigger ship until 2016. O well, that is our 20 anniversary year...I see a another cruise in my future. Edited April 17, 2014 by BecciBoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetWet! Posted April 17, 2014 #2031 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Liberty coming to Galveston after leaving Bayonne when Anthem arrives there. Unless they change their minds AGAIN, of course! At this point, I'll believe it when I see it! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted April 17, 2014 #2032 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Liberty in Nov. 2015 doing 6 and 8 night itineraries. According to a source on an unnamed site, it is listed in Cruising Power with dates but no prices yet.

Royal hasn't announced exact itineraries yet, but the "Quantum to China" press release confirms Liberty for the 2015/2016 winter season from Bayonne. So the soonest we'd see it in Galveston would be summer 2016 now, given no further changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetwhiz Posted April 17, 2014 #2034 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I was hoping for some 9 or 10 nighters with Liberty to some different destinations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the itineraries she's referencing are the Bayonne itineraries for Liberty. At least 2 full years away from any Galveston Liberty itineraries right now...

ARCruisinNana Posted April 17, 2014 #2038 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Liberty will do the 2 same alternating itinetaries we've had. It's Navigator that will do the 6 and 8 nights that Indy is doing now:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnh Posted April 17, 2014 #2041 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Galveston is not available on line yet so I called....wow....the same cabin for the same time in March 2016 is $3500 more than I paid for Navigator this year....hopefully this is base rates and they will come down when they are available on line!

jktheangel Posted April 17, 2014 #2042 Share Posted April 17, 2014 For those of you who live in Texas. We are starting out drive tonight to Kemah for our nos cruise Sunday. We are driving from Vegas. Anyone have any construction or stay away from roads or delays we should watch for ? Thank you. We are hoping to make it by 8 pm tomorrow night Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to a Texas residency discount, we're in a Crown Loft on the Oasis the week before Thanksgiving that is about $1,300 per person LESS than a GS on the Navigator the same week. We love cruising out of Galveston, but at those prices I'll fly some place and experience something different. The GS difference was over $1500 each. I've never seen the Oasis or the Allure lower than a Voyager class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted April 17, 2014 #2044 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Royal Caribbean is expanding again in Texas. The line today announced plans to move the 3,634-passenger Liberty of the Seas to Galveston, Texas in late 2015 to take the place of the smaller, 3,114-passenger Navigator of the Seas. As has been the case with Navigator, Liberty will be based in Galveston year-round and sail seven-night Western Caribbean cruises. It'll arrive in the city in November 2015 from New York, where it will spend the summer of 2015. Navigator of the Seas, in turn, will move to Fort Lauderdale in November 2015 to offer six- and eight-night Caribbean sailings, Royal Caribbean revealed. RELATED: Royal Caribbean to expand in China PHOTO TOUR: Inside a Royal Caribbean ship The line today also announced Brilliance of the Seas and Vision of the Seas will return to Tampa for the winter of 2015-16 to offer a variety of Caribbean itineraries.

That might be fun...there's a gap in my cruise calendar around that time!:) I could fly up and stay with family for a couple days, then let a ship bring me home. I like this idea! :D Edited April 17, 2014 by Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted April 17, 2014 #2049 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hey everybody just chillllllll:p We'll get the nitty gritty in a couple days after Saturday's computer blitz...I bet we see more realistic pricing then.
