A1A Posted March 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Greetings! First time on the Royal Caribbean Board, feels good! After years of Princess & Celebrity we have finally found a cruise that appeals to us to try on Royal Caribbean. This is called the 10 day Palm Tree & Pink Sand cruise. R/T Ft. Lauderdale, Charleston, 3 nights Bermuda, Nassau and Coco Cays. Checking next year I do not see this cruise yet, I called RCI and they are not sure if it is scheduled next year. Does anyone on this board know if this year was a trial cruise for this itinerary? Perhaps it did not go over well? Looking to exploring new destinations and other cruise lines! Thanks!

Pumbaamd Posted March 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) It indeed looks like a trial. Three cruises this year, June, August and September. Probably a good strategy. We're on the 8/18 cruise. Even though we're from MD, this itin seems a bit different. And we're sailing with two other couples (best friends) from FL. Let's hope this cruise sells. Would like to sea it continue. Rick and Deirdra Edited March 6, 2014 by Pumbaamd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwolfe Posted March 6, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Taking my family on the June 9th sailing of this cruise. I don't think this particular itinerary was even offered until sometime around October of last year. So Pumbaamd's thinking is likely spot on. We'll see how well it goes and let's hope it goes well and is continued. It is a very entertaining itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumbaamd Posted March 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hope you have a great time in June! If time, post a report. Maybe a few tips for us on the August trip. Thanks! Have fun on Vision!!! Rick and Deirdra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted March 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If they got this down to 8 days (work friendly schedule) by ditching Nassau and Charleston I'd book it right now....RCI, take us working stiffs to Bermuda from Florida! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Booper Posted March 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2014 We booked this run specifically for Charleston and the 3 Bermuda days. Doesn't hurt that we relocated to Fla. in July 2013. Now back to tax season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1A Posted March 6, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looks like this years demand may likely dictate next years offerings. So it may be an October decision if they run it next year? I will just have to keep posted! Thanks! :D Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I love Nassau and Charleston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted March 6, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ten days would be more doable if the cruise started on a Friday or Saturday instead of a Monday. Then those who are employed would require fewer days off from work. I hope they keep this itinerary for next year and shift the dates to include two weekends instead of just one. Then I would be glad to book it. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
