Rare Jamman54 Posted February 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but my very reliable source has told me that these are the first two cruises on the Vista from NYC after her Transatlantic crossing. Nov. 4th - 3 Day cruise to Nowhere Nov. 7th - 11 Day RT NYC to Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Maarten. Nov. 18th MAY be the repositioning cruise to Miami, or there may be another RT NYC prior to repositioning. Bookings for the first two should begin in the next couple of weeks.

Rare Jamman54 Posted February 6, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Looks good, thanks Jeff. For sure we'll be on the 3 day. If Patti retires after this year or next, then we'll jump on the 11 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulypride Posted February 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah that 3 night looks good to me as well. Hopefully my husband can get his boss to agree. He works in retail and there is a time off freeze from 11/1-1/15. It would not be any extra days off so that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Karen Posted February 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks Jamman. We did this on the Dream. After her inaugural TA, she came to NY for I believe 2 CTN and then 2 regular cruises to Bahamas before going to FL. We did one of the regular cruises. I am sure it will be expensive, but I will keep my eye out anyway. Who knows, maybe we will meet up for some Mudslides and beer sooner rather than later! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted February 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks for posting the info Jamman! We'll aim for the 3 day. This helps as we were thinking of booking the 3 day Anthem of the Seas for next year. We'll do this one instead:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisexlife Posted February 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2015 If I ran Carnival, I would do another 1 night cruise to Nowhere, or make it a 12 day RT New York, so then an 8 night RT could happen over Thanksgiving week for people with kids, traditions, and/or restrained dates. It could be the Grand Turk, HMC, Nassau itinerary. Then when it comes back, then it should reposition so people can be on it in Miami for Christmas. I'm more interested in where the other ships will be going once they release the May 2016- April 2017 schedule. Has anyone heard/seen anything? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryred Posted February 6, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I guess we all will have to wait to start planning for Vista's short visit to the Big Apple. The OP seems to contrast the reliable rumors I have heard: Carnival Vista 2016 Oct 21 2016 : 13 Day Transatlantic from Spain to NY Nov 03 2016 : God-Parent ceremony & invitation only shakedown CTN Nov 05 2016 : 2 night CTN from NYC Nov 07 2016 : 7 Nights Out of NYC ports TBA Nov 14 2016 : 8 night R/T from NYC (possible dependent of port confirmations) Nov 22 2016 : 7 night Repositioning from NYC to Miami (possible dependent of port confirmations) OR Nov 14 2016 : 4 night special R/T from NYC (possible dependent of port confirmations) Nov 18 2016 : 11 night Repositioning from NYC to Miami (possible dependent of port confirmations) Nov 29 2016 : Start regular schedule out of Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdmundXXIII Posted February 7, 2015 #18 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It won't be for another week or two. Do you know if Carnival will be posting the rest of their 2016 itineraries then as well? I'm anxiously awaiting the schedule for Norfolk. Currently, we are just a seasonal home port and we usually share a ship with Miami and New York. My wife and I are sailing on the Splendor this year from Norfolk and can't wait to see what the future holds! This October will be our first time on the Splendor. We've previously sailed I the Pride, Glory, and Liberty. Reading your threads on the Splendor has really helped us get hyped for this year's cruise!

serene56 Posted February 7, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Typically 3 day cruises to nowhere are rather pricey. I can only imagine the price of that one. We used to do CTN when they were affordable. NOW- I can go somewhere for cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolate melting cake Posted February 7, 2015 #21 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My wife and I had promised ourselves a treat for our 50th anniversary. We had waited since Carnival announced Vista and were determined to book a B2B for her last European and the transatlantic----the day Carnival gave the itineraries (Jan. 22) we did it. Within a week our balcony room for the first cruise had gone up $400+, but the transatlantic (just the cabin price) has almost DOUBLED -- $2,500 to $4,800! My advice to those of you waiting for the 3 day "if it's not too pricey", if you really want it book it the day you see it announced. If it goes down in price you'll get the difference----but if it goes up it might do so really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccersharon Posted February 7, 2015 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm betting on the option with the 11-day sailing. Someone won that cruise at the Vista event :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruiser08820 Posted February 7, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's 2 or 3 nighter will be super crowded. Besides full of kids since it's a Jersey Week in NJ... No school on Thursday and Friday this week for all the districts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted February 12, 2015 Author #24 Share Posted February 12, 2015 My source was spot on!! As usual. That's 2 or 3 nighter will be super crowded. Besides full of kids since it's a Jersey Week in NJ... No school on Thursday and Friday this week for all the districts. According to my wife, who is a teacher, the convention in 2016 is November 10th & 11th, therefore Jersey Week is the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY currently shares her with Miami and Norfolk, and as a Norfolk native I'm very eager to hear what is happening in 2016! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
