The developer's website also reveals that RCI have future plans to develop the ports of Curacao and Barbados with future projects. These would seem to support further development of the 9 night sailings planed for Navigator in 2016 and longer Serenade sailings from Port Everglades.

Regarding the St. Maarten plans, do we know where exactly this is going to located?

[mattpro]

Yes

 

It is the area in front of where ships are docked, extending to the left where all the land has been cleared.

 

They have been working on this for the past year.

 

No buildings up as last month.

 

Will see how development is progressing when I'm there next month.

Was just there Friday on the Legend still no buildings, just a cleared lot. No worries they are working on Island time.

The RCI port development at Curacao looks like it is also moving forward.

"Curacao is leaning toward a new berth, perhaps in time for the 2017-2018 cruise season, according to Dimitri Cloose, commercial manager for the port authority.

 

The new berth would enable the latest megaships to berth in Curacao."

Can you get to Curacao on a 7 day cruise fro south FL

 

We got there on an 8 day and probably could have made it in 7 days if we skipped one of the other port stops (GT or La Romana).

With MSC, among others, calling at Cococay and Falmouth, they could also start calling at RCI developed ports at St. Maarten, Curacao and Barbados.
