Topo Gigio Posted February 17, 2014 Author #601 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Bleh! Amen!!! I wasn't a fan of the Coz, Belize, Roatan itinerary we did in December and the one we're doing in November will be the 3rd time we've done Cozumel, GC & Jamaica. I love cruising out of Galveston because it's only a 4.5-5 hr drive from Dallas but you can only do the same itinerary so many times. I did an eastern caribbean/BVI itinerary out of Miami in 2012 and I'm dying to get back to that side the Caribbean. I wish they'd at least do Key West, Nassau, Freeport or something They have this itinerary out of NOLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondieB Posted February 17, 2014 #602 Share Posted February 17, 2014 They have this itinerary out of NOLA. yes, I know. I usually travel with a large group though and traveling to another port can be cost prohibitive for many :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted February 17, 2014 #603 Share Posted February 17, 2014 yes, I know. I usually travel with a large group though and traveling to another port can be cost prohibitive for many :( But it is only a few hours longer drive to Nola Besides we found the cruise price is usually cheaper out of there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC are you listening??? :p:D I live 4.5 hrs away and I won't cruise out of Galveston again (we're going in March) because of the boring itineraries. Nola is 8-9 hrs from here....much longer drive!

Nola is 8-9 hrs from here....much longer drive! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Yeah the drive to Galveston is about the max time on my attention span :D so I'd have to fly to NOLA and if I'm flying, I might as well keep heading east lol And I'm pretty sure there's not a Buc-ees on the way to nola and that's just unacceptable lol Sent from my SGH-T999 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEVER AGAIN! . I get almost as excited about stopping there as I do for the cruise......almost :D I'm surprised Carnival isn't bringing something different to Galveston. The Magic has been there for several years and we hated that ship. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magic has been there for several years and we hated that ship. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Forums mobile app Be careful what you wish for lol... Magic is Carnival's second newest ship (I don't consider Carnival Desti... err... Sunshine... a new ship) and I don't think Breeze is leaving Miami. I didn't love the Dream Class either (I was on Breeze) but I don't think I'd prefer a Conquest Class ship. Quantum is what they are trying to load next. Awesome!!! Did they give any indication as to when Quantum would be loaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_in_BC Posted February 18, 2014 #620 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Common Alaska! :D:D I keep checking, but there's still nothing. If Alaska schedules do show up again on the site, please, please, pretty please let me know if you see when the Vancouver RT is. I sure hope it's still on Radiance for 2015. I have my rooms picked out & ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting up really early every day, and been working that F5 key every few minutes. I suspect they won't release the California itineraries until the Panama Canal stuff gets posted. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they give any indication as to when Quantum would be loaded? My guess is that they will follow the same pattern as last week and start loading the itineraries around midnight with prices being available first thing Wednesday morning. Monday and Tuesday is the going, going, gone sale Wednesday and Thursday new itineraries released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
