Alexv500 Posted February 13, 2015 #76 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I would love to get another newer, bigger ship back in California instead of the "tion" ships I doubt they'll ever send us a newer ship; they don't care much for the west coast they just send us whatever they don't want in Florida. Fingers are crossed they might send back the Splendor or send us the Valor possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybluecruiser Posted February 13, 2015 #77 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Well, the Valor currently calls at St.Maarten on Saturdays, the Liberty will, so it only makes sense that the Fascination is taking over the SJU route, and victory is going to replace it later on .... What about Jacksonville ? [emoji32] My guess fantasy to jax then valor or triumph to charleston. I hope it is triumph. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzloolue Posted February 24, 2015 #78 Share Posted February 24, 2015 They need to move Elation elsewhere. She needs a big refurbishment, she looks tired, the cabins are very dated (especially the bathroom). I will not sail 4-5 days out of New Orleans until Elation is moved. It wouldn't be a bad idea to move Triumph back to New Orleans again. And now I think of it, Royal is leaving New Orleans next year, right? It seems like perhaps there will be more demand for cabins out of New Orleans and perhaps there will be no trouble filling a bit bigger five day ship. I don't know how many people are Royal Caribbean or nothing though. I did really enjoy Triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly5673 Posted February 24, 2015 #79 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The Fantasy/Charleston thing changes everyday. Lol. I hear all these reasons why a bigger ship can't come in instead. I hear it's all politics though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulypride Posted February 25, 2015 #81 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Breeze to GalvestonMagic to port canveral Valor to charleston And here is my curve ball.... Ive been saying this for a while now...... Fantasy to New Orleans to relpace the retiring elation. I know she is newer but it here has to be a reason the elation and paradise has yet to be upgraded like the other fantasy class ships. probably because Paradise and Elation are the only 2 fantasy class with azapods.

SadieN Posted February 25, 2015 #82 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) probably because Paradise and Elation are the only 2 fantasy class with azapods. Do not wish for bathroom upgrades! The bathroom vanity in the Inspiration and Imagination are horrible. Long Beach has three ships-- Inspiration and Imagination doing 3 & 4 day cruises and the Miracle doing MR and HI cruises. The port is busy Th-M. Can the newer ships sail thru the Canal or do they have to wait until the newer, wider Canal is operational? That was the issue with the Splendor.

An upgrade would be good, but Fantasy is not an upgrade over Elation to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4Cruisers Posted February 26, 2015 #84 Share Posted February 26, 2015 So does anyone have a list of the ships and their new homeports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturzMinion Posted February 26, 2015 #85 Share Posted February 26, 2015 So does anyone have a list of the ships and their new homeports? Breeze, Liberty and Freedom to Galveston to replace the Magic (and Triumph, I forget) after the Vista comes to Miami. Hopefully I can sail on the Breeze before it relocates.

Topo Gigio Posted February 28, 2015 #86 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Magic to Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturzMinion Posted February 28, 2015 #87 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Magic to Port Canaveral. Where did you hear this? I would love the Magic to go to PC!! 2nd closest port to me, and with all the people that like the Breeze, the Magic should be almost the same!

falkcor Posted February 28, 2015 #89 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) So does anyone have a list of the ships and their new homeports? so far, all that's been confirmed is: freedom just relocated to and is sailing from galveston. vista to miami. breeze to galveston to replace magic. liberty to galveston to replace triumph. magic and triumph new home ports to be announced in coming weeks. magic said to be going to port canaveral by jim berra in an interview with cruise radio, but it was not specifically announced in the press release: PortMiami will be the year-round homeport for Carnival Cruise Line’s largest ship to date, the 133,500-ton Carnival Vista, when it launches six- to eight-day Caribbean cruises beginning in December 2016. Carnival will further bolster its leadership position in Galveston, repositioning Carnival Breeze and Carnival Liberty to Texas in 2016, joining Carnival Freedom which arrives in Galveston this Saturday. Carnival Breeze and Carnival Liberty will replace Carnival Magic and Carnival Triumph, respectively, in Galveston. Details on new homeports for Carnival Magic and Carnival Triumph, as well as year-round departures from San Juan, will be provided over the coming weeks. See more at: http://carnival-news.com/2015/02/12/carnivals-most-innovative-ship-yet-carnival-vista-to-operate-year-round-six-and-eight-day-caribbean-cruises-from-miami-carnival-breeze-and-carnival-liberty-reposition-to-galveston/#sthash.dTKdlmT4.dpuf but he definitely said it. check out podcast 203, 'Carnival Freedom in Galveston: LIVE | Carnival Cruise Line'. it's at about the 10 minute mark i recall. he said something like 'our newest ship, the carnival breeze, will relocate to galveston, and the magic will head to port canaveral...': http://cruiseradio.net/podcasts/ so right now, just related to those moves, we're waiting on 1) announcement of magic going to PC, 2) triumph's new home port, 3) ship to continue the year-round departures from san juan. so my money's on triumph to san juan, UNLESS they move other ships too (which is entirely possible / likely).

lollylew Posted February 28, 2015 #90 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well, it looks like the Glory is staying in Miami since you can now book cruises for Sept 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollylew Posted February 28, 2015 #91 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just found out on the ST.Maarten cruise ship schedule that Fascination will call on Saturdays from April 23 2016 until Oct. 29 2016 and after that Victory will take over until at least May 6 2017. So looks like Magic will either go to PC or PE. I bet on PC. Especially since there are no more cruises available after April 15, 2016 on the Fascination.

Luckysll Posted February 28, 2015 #92 Share Posted February 28, 2015 John Heald posted the following on his FB page this morning: "...on Monday the dance of the ships continues with some very good news for three home ports in particular." FWIW, I was on the Miracle in January and the word onboard was that the Miracle was going to Australia permanently to join the Spirit and that the Splendor was coming back to Los Angeles. Will just have to wait and see if there's any truth to this or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted February 28, 2015 #98 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'm surprised they keep putting ships in TX with all the alcohol laws/duties in that state. Not to mention the infamous fog delays that seem to plague that area. I wish Norfolk would get a ship year round. You don't spend a full day traversing the Chesapeake Bay, and there aren't any bridges to go under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival has already disappointed me enough, guess we will have to find out on Monday hopefully. Fingers crossed we get her back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
