hollon Posted February 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I've never cruised on Carnival but want to try the Vista (usually cruise RCCL), Does anyone know if Vista will be in the US in December 2016 or WHEN will Carnival allow us to book 2017 - Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted February 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2015 yes, vista will be in the US in december 2016. the transatlantic is october 26 - november 3. there will be a series of sailings from new york - speculatively - probably first a TA / media event, then perhaps a 2 day cruise to nowhere, followed by a few 8 day sailings, and then an 11 day repositioning cruise (that speculation from a few dates that have shown up, etc.) the final HOME port hasn't been announced yet - when it has been, it is likely then the 2017 sailings will be announced / available. rumor has it that it may be some time later this month, but carnival hasn't officially announced when that will be, other than 'soon'.

hollon Posted February 6, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted February 6, 2015 After visiting NY City the Vista will call Miami her home port in Nov. 2015 will it be the same old same old eastern/western? i'm hoping for a southern cruise (been too many times to the w/e caribbean), thanks, can't wait :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly1952 Posted February 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 6, 2015 After visiting NY City the Vista will call Miami her home port in Nov. 2015 That should be Nov. 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollon Posted February 11, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Did I read somewhere "something" would be announced on Feb 12th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted February 11, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Did I read somewhere "something" would be announced on Feb 12th? i believe the NY itineraries are supposed to be announced feb 12. and it stands to reason that the 'regular' schedule cruises would be released at the same time, especially since the home port of miami is now known.

Vista will only have 3 sailings out of NYC in November, she will then move to Miami and sail 6 and 8 day cruises to the Caribbean. I just booked the November 7th 11 day cruise in a Havana Balcony for just above 3000 total. Not a bad price for an 11 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzmaxwell Posted February 17, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Hollon! We, too, are RCCL cruisers but I took the plunge today and booked the February 11, 2017 Southern Caribbean cruise and I have to say the booking process and how they handle their booking and payment process at Carnival far exceeds anything I have ever ever experienced at RCCL and I'm anxious to try the cruise with them now hoping they run their ships as well as their office! Being able to go to Aruba without going to San Juan and sailing on an old ship really sweetened the deal as well! :) Hope you found something as awesome as we did and have the same experience booking as well. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted February 17, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I did book the cruise for March, 2017, and you are right. The process on Carnival is better than RCCL. No issues with the website, or conformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckysll Posted February 19, 2015 #25 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Just booked the Jan 14/17 Eastern cruise. It includes my two favorite ports (St Maarten and Grand Turk). And may do the six day Western either before or after to make it a B2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
