Cruiseeatrelax, Where are you seeing a Nov. 8 NOS to FLL? I just looked and it is not on RCI's web site. My head is spinning too! Any indication of the length of cruise or itinerary!

 

It is a 2 night cruise with no stops, it is appearing in Cruising Power, but not bookable. Perhaps doing 4/5 night sailings along side Indy. Those sailings are very popular and very profitable. Liberty will probably go direct from Europe to Galveston.

Isn't that illegal :confused:?

 

I thought revenue-repo cruises between US ports had to call somewhere extraordinarily far away, like Aruba.

 

Also, its not released yet, but Liberty is supposed to staying on her 4-5 night cruises out of Fort Lauderdale Summer and Fall of 2015, so Liberty and Navigator could potentially just be swapping places.

I don't think this is going to be a bookable sailing due to the port departure and arrival times

Depart Galveston - 11:00 a.m.

Cruising

Arrive Ft Lauderdale: 12:00 p.m.

 

It looks like she is leaving Galveston after all guest from the 11/1 sailing have disembarked. Also, her odd arrival time in Ft Lauderdale indicates (if this is all legit) she will either move on from there or she will dock overnight and her first sailing will be on Wednesday 11/11.

Yeah, that must just be a placeholder.

 

"A passenger who embarks and disembarks in two different U.S. ports (such as Los Angeles and San Diego) would result in the carrier (not the violator) being fined. The vessel must call in a distant foreign port before the U.S. embarkation and disembarkation ports can differ. The nearest distant foreign ports are in or off the coast of South America."

Liberty is most likely not going to Europe in 2015.

 

Galveston to Port Everglades is 934 nautical miles and at full cruising speed of 21 knots, it would take a minimum of 2 days and 3 hours for this repo.

A 2 night cruise from gavelston to ft lauderdale violates the jones act. It's illegal . I highly doubt it.

NCL got around the law when they moved Getaway down from NYC following the Super Bowl by having a 3 night to Nassau and then going non-revenue into Miami for the inaugural sailing.

 

 

It would have to be a non-revenue and I'm not sure Royal has ever done anything like that. Does

Anybody else recall ?

Ask about NOLA. The latest I am hearing is not going to happen, they are pulling ships from there but may return in the future.

 

Look forward to your findings...oh and have a great trip :0)

Don't doubt you but I wonder why they did that refurb on the Navigator without enlarging the casino in order to send her to Asia. Wonder if there will be changes made en route to Asia.

When Mariner last left Galveston it did a non-revenue to Miami and spent several days before the trans-Atlantic

 

If you mean last year, we sailed from Galveston on Mariner on the TA . If you mean 2012, she went into dry dock for revitalization before the TA.
