DisneyDatknee Posted June 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2014 This is probably never going to happen but does anyone know when the Fantasy is retiring. Charleston is so close to home and I hate driving 12 hours to Miami for a nicer ship. They should move one of the Conquest Class to Charleston. Just a thought. 😋 Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybluecruiser Posted June 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I agree lol charleston is an 8 hour drive for me. So i consider it my drive to port. Baltimore is closer but the traffic sucks. I have been saying for a long time i believe charleston will get a conquest class ship when fantasy says goodbye. Glory use to do seasonal cruises from charleston so it isnt to far out to think they would do,it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted June 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2014 We would love a newer ship and better itineraries out of Charleston! It's so close, we would cruise a lot more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ4 Posted June 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I doubt that Carnival will make any changes in Charleston until that festering issue is fully tucked into bed, once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilgr Posted June 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Vista in Charleston with alternating 8 day/5 day cruises!!!! That would be Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPEvans Posted July 6, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Air fare to Charleston is high compared to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilgr Posted July 6, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I live in Charleston and the airfare here is crazy, into and out of Charleston. I think the gubment taxes and fees are higher than anywhere else in the free world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowgrlkirby Posted July 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I have been paying for more itineraries from Charleston... I have a hard time driving to Florida when I had a cruise ship in sight! Even if it wasn't a brand new ship I would be happy... I just want more than the Bahamas itinerary please!!:D Sent from my XT1080 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 31, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Ahhhh. Never thought about that. No worries, hopefully they do before trying to sail her in.:eek: There is a market for ports that have low bridges, but alas a dwindling number of ships to sail out of them. Baltimore is a great home port and the inner harbor area is amazing compared to what it use to be in the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseman2003 Posted August 3, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I believe that Carnival should use the Costa Luminosa class prototype for ports such as Baltimore and Tampa. Also I think it would be great to use these ships for the shorter for the shorter cruises. It makes me wonder though why has Carnival been so hush about the Vista when you see MSC broadcasting to the world about their new ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app from my iPhone I hope that the Vista goes somewhere besides Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. And about Charleston, I'll be very happy when they base something BESIDES a Fantasy class ship there. Charleston is my closest drive to port, but I probably won't cruise from there until the Fantasy is gone. New itineraries will be welcome as well. How about the 7 night itinerary that NCL Majesty used to do from there, Key West, Grad Cayman, Cozumel?

My guess is Vista will go to Miami. That is if things remains relatively the same as today. Seeing more and more that they will reduce the fleet in the Caribbean. That assumes that they will get rid of the some of the fantasy class fleet (but to where). My fear is that they will do what RCI did with the Quantum (although less likely for the Americanization that the Carnival brand has). I also think that is why Princess go the next three builds (but what do I know;)), for the Carnival corp to do further expansion to Australaisa (love that new word I saw written, so I thought I would steal it) market. You could also make a case for the Vista to go to Galveston. Best market (outside of Florida - and maybe including Florida) and they could redeploy either the Magic (more likely) or the Freedom.

Captain Carnival Posted August 19, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ok here is my latest theory...
