mcrcruiser Posted April 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Learned recently from a Celebrity Represenatat6ive that Celebrity is planning to pace a ship in California once again :) If that comes to fruition that will be GREAT:') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyD3 Posted April 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Could be the Eclipse in April 2019 after returning from South America. I would love to see the return of 15 night round trip to Hawaii from SD like the Century did in 2013!

casper106 Posted April 18, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Carnival is expanding in California so it's entirely possible that X (RCL) will do the same. https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/16720-carnival-starts-construction-at-long-beach-cruise-terminal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZNative2000 Posted April 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It would be fantastic to have a ship based on the west coast. Long Beach? San Diego? It sure would! I've never driven to a cruise before.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAV Posted April 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2017 As a fellow West Coaster, I'd love to see this happen. However, I'll believe it when I see it. The OP starts threads on this subject often. The most recent was just last week. So I remain hopeful, but leery! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2481805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare villauk Posted April 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Isn't there a post currently on the Princess board stating that they are just waiting for the announcement of a new ship sailing from California? Wonder if your source is getting mixed up or possibly X are considering a ship in direct competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted April 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Carnival is expanding in California so it's entirely possible that X (RCL) will do the same. https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/16720-carnival-starts-construction-at-long-beach-cruise-terminal.html Carnival is paying for the port expansion, not Rcci or Celebrity.

mcrcruiser Posted April 18, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted April 18, 2017 imo from a purely marketing point of view RCCL Corporation can ill afford not to recognize this huge market . Thus ,placing a ship to do many west coast itineraries seems like a natural thing for them to do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted April 18, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It surely would be more convenient to board a Celebrity or even a RCCL ship & do a 14 /15 night Round trip Hawaii cruise .Then there are Pacific coastal cruises ,Mexican Riviera cruises ,Partial Panama Canal cruises ie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsea Posted April 18, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The problem with the west coast is that there are not many choices to sail to from the west coast. Mexico is fine but the perception of crime deters lots of people. Mexican Riviera cruises are among the cheapest because they can't fill the ships. To add more ships would just depress prices even more. Hawaii is great, but many people do not want the sea days involved in a round trip sailing. Alaska is a short season and requires 10 night sailings from everywhere but Seattle. Celebrity will put their limited fleet where they can make the most money.

Karynanne Posted April 18, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Be still my heart!❤️ I was catching a flight in San Diego yesterday, and saw Infinity docked. I would love to see a Celebrity ship anywhere on the West Coast. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted April 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yes, please put a ship on the west coast; I would love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakeDaddy Posted April 18, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Sure hope this comes true. However, with NCL bringing a brand new ship, "Bliss", to the west coast for Alaska, Mexican Riviera, Celebrity needs to counter and this time, "get it done".

The partials tend to be from the east coast (Florida) to Lake Gatun and back. Much more problematic to do a partial from the west side. Probably why west side panama canal cruises are full transit.

This is a fact that the Eclipse is repositioning to the west coast in 2019. It's going to be a wait until we find out what Celebrity intends to do with her as far as itineraries go.

pris993 Posted April 19, 2017 #21 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Please let it be true and please let it be San Francisco! :D Agree X use to have ships out of San Francisco... I think the cruise lines are waiting up to the fact many folks don't want to fly anymore... flying is such a miserable experience these days... we keep going on t he Grand for that reason. Would welcome some options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of at least one - Island Princess, round trip from LA, 9/23/17. Fantastic itinerary, unfortunately not such a great ship, or we'd be booked on it. We'd love to see some other ship do this trip from either LA or San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
