AndyT3 Posted January 12, 2017 #27 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm also eager to see what they bring up to NY. This being our closest port, it would be ideal to have something "new" make its way up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted January 12, 2017 #28 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Oh man I hate to see the Breeze leave Galveston. I loved the Magic but love the Breeze even more. Wish they would leave us one Dream class. Zero interest in sailing the Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT3 Posted January 12, 2017 #30 Share Posted January 12, 2017 They have never kept a new ship in NY always an older one Hence the new in quotations. It would be new to us anyway! You have to think though, with NCL having the Breakway (or did anyway) and RC having the AotS across the river, Carnival really should consider bringing a new ship up here to compete with the other lines.

Then it will be both the Escape and Breakaway sailing out of NYC, the 2 big ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted January 12, 2017 #32 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'd love to see Carnival put a newer ship in Charleston in 2018. Doubt it will happen. I'm not sure the port can draw enough people for a larger ship year round, but maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it will be both the Escape and Breakaway sailing out of NYC, the 2 big ships. Exactly! I'd love to see Carnival move one of their big new ships up here, even for just the time the Escape is sailing just to offer some direct competition! However, I may have to look into one of those Escape sailings! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lepidoptera Posted January 12, 2017 #34 Share Posted January 12, 2017 You know I am pretty upset about the magic leaving Port Canaveral. I loved her when we went in October and was hoping to go on her again before she left. I mean I could go to Miami but I really liked hitting Disney before cruising. We already have a med cruise in NCL for this year and my sister is saying no cruises in 2018. Maybe I need to go on a solo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxyB Posted January 12, 2017 #35 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I was on the Vista over Christmas and during the Plat/Diamond party the cruise director mentioned a ship from the P&O fleet would be transferring over to Carnival (I realize they are under the same parent company). I don't know if will be for the Australian market or ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont sweat it too much :) I LOVE Magic being in PC! Most of the people I know that have sailed on Magic and Breeze both though, even after Magics last drydock, still give the edge to Breeze :) Totally pumped about Breeze coming to PC!

Jdfireman Posted January 12, 2017 #37 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Vista just got to Miami. I highly doubt she will be moved anytime in the near future guess you were wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepyhollow1 Posted January 12, 2017 #39 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks like they are making way for Miami to home port Horizon. I think so too because I am not seeing any six or eight day cruises for that time frame so I think Horizon will get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinisthebest Posted January 12, 2017 #41 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Here is an example of the use of "home port" regarding Carnival Sunshine: "Following voyages from New York, Charleston and Norfolk, the Carnival Sunshine will return to its home port of Port Canaveral where it will sail eight different Caribbean voyages in the winter of 2016 and spring of 2017." This is what I meant. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I agree but Carnival seems to think they do better sailing out of other ports. Problem for us is that on 7 day cruiess they cant get to more interesting ports and many itineraries are Nassau, Freeport and Pt Canaveral which is not where we want to go on a cruise.

Alexv500 Posted January 12, 2017 #48 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I have a little theory with this whole sudden unexpected moving of the ships- If you read it closely, the magic is will do 7 day western and eastern cruises in September 2018 from Miami. That's around the time Horizon should be finishing her time in Europe. Notice how none of the ships in Miami will be doing the alternating 6 day western and 8 day southern Caribbean cruises that vista and breeze did. My theory is Horizon is going to Miami and will simply pick up for the Vista on the 6 & 8 day voyages. Carnival has had that pattern where every new ship goes to Miami and does those 6 and 8 day sailings. And I have a feeling something is will happen with the Glory because she's been there for so many years, so they're obviously probably planning to send her elsewhere to spice things up (maybe here to the West Coast to take over for Splendor when she leaves us for Australia?) and the Magic will just take over for Glory with those sailings. Just a little theory that I've been thinking of Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited January 12, 2017 by Alexv500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could cruise on the Anthem from RCI for cheap but the ports are yuck. Don't care much for the Pride itineraries either. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted January 12, 2017 Author #50 Share Posted January 12, 2017 They have never kept a new ship in NY always an older one I wish there was a newer ship in NY. I usually sail NCL, RCCL and DCL. Last February I tried the Breeze and LOVED it. We had a spa balcony and had an amazing time! I had to drag my mom on she didn't want to sail CCL just because of the reputation and after that cruise, we booked the Vista for next summer :) My mom wants to take my family (of four / kids are 23 and 18) and my sister's family (with young kids) on a cruise summer 2018. I won't sail the CCL ship from here, it's too old compared to the other ships we have been on (newer NCL and RCCL). If Breeze or even Dream were here (although not "newer"), I would seriously consider booking. Trying not to fly since she is the one taking all of us.
