Seatravelers Posted May 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2017 What a GREAT way to start the month of May! Vision coming to NEW ORLEANS! We have missed our sailings up and down the Mississippi SO much and just could see giving any other cruise line our money. So excited and grateful!!

Rare BecciBoo Posted May 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Can't be a full one, Vision is sailing out of Galveston from Nov. through April. Maybe this May through Nov. at NOLA. Staying in the Gulf of Mexico all year:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lattelady Posted May 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Looks like the Enchantment will take the place of Vision in Galveston. https://www.******************.com/2017/05/01/royal-caribbean-announces-new-gulf-coast-cruises-2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aichambaye Posted May 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2017 That's super exciting! NOLA is the closest port to us, and it would be so nice for a quick get away (we could drive down, or fly and be there in an hour or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lattelady Posted May 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hmmm, my link didn't work. Here is the content: After a three-year hiatus, Royal Caribbean will return to offering cruises from New Orleans, Louisiana with Vision of the Seas in the winter of 2018-2019. Beginning on December 15, 2018, Vision of the Seas will offer 7-night itineraries to the Bahamas and Yucatan Peninsula. Before making her way to New Orleans, Vision of the Seas will offer two 16-night sailings through the Panama Canal from Miami to Los Angeles, California. This will be the first time in three years that Royal Caribbean has offered a cruise through the Panama Canal. Lastly, Mariner of the Seas will call Miami, Florida home in 2018, following a transpacific cruise. Mariner of the Seas will be the first Voyager Class ship to offer short Caribbean sailings. Before she offers cruises from her new home, Mariner of the Seas will undergo an extensive 32-day revitalization. Once back in service, Mariner of the Seas will offer 3- and 4-night itineraries from PortMiami, beginning on June 21, 2018. Enchantment of the Seas will join Liberty of the Seas in Galveston, Texas, offering 4- and 5-night Caribbean cruises. She arrives in Galveston on June 23, 2018. Guests currently booked on Enchantment for sailings departing Miami after June 23 will be contacted individually to transition the original booking to Mariner of the Seas.

matj2000 Posted May 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I like cruising out of New Orleans, but the Vision? They brought in the worst ship. I will pass and go with the NCL Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to agree with you on that one. They are bringing the Gem there (which is a sister ship to the Pearl) in 2019, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj7763 Posted May 2, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Majesty and Empress are worse than Vision. I'd take Vision over no ship at all in New Orleans. I think all Royal ships are great in there own respective way and I'm excited to see there return to New Orleans. I did a visit to the Pearl and oh my goodness I could not believe has small the cabins were for a ship built in 2006. Reminded my why I'm so Loyal to Royal. Yes it would be nice to see a Radiance or Voyager class ship but it's there first time back in years. You have to see how the market is going to respond before placing a larger ship.

ColoradoGurl Posted May 2, 2017 #19 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This is great! I've been wanting to sail out of New Orleans and was actually considering a carnival cruise because RC wasn't there. I would love to do the Panama Canal trip but it's during school and I can't take my kid out for 2 weeks :( Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotfeathers Posted May 2, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 2, 2017 For those who have experienced the traffic on that long road leading directly to the port, has that improved any? It was terribly congested when I left out on Voyager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbjen Posted May 2, 2017 #24 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Gosh you had me worried then, we have a Vision booked for spring break 2018 out of Galveston! I'm glad that they're bringing a year round 4/5 night ship to Galveston. And I hope the New Orleans sailings are a hit because it's nice to have more options.
