What ship are you hoping will come to NJ?

I don’t care.  Quality of people coming out of NJ/NY makes for an unpleasant trip.   Too often rude and overly aggressive.   I won’t consider those sailings any longer.  

Good,and you are from where ,that makes you so much better than us “rude and aggressive people from New Jersey?

Pardon my ignorance, but are you guys referring to Disney Magic or Carnival Magic?  I assume Carnival, but please confirm!  Thanks.

Carnival Magic!

Symphony's stakes are hinged.  A completely different set up than Oasis.

We do the 12 night out of Baltimore and get Barbados.  We've done it 4-5 times.  Recently, just this past April and going again this April.  Pretty sure we did one 12 night out of NJ on Explorer, but that was the only one.  The rest were 10 and 11 night.  We'll know soon what ship(s) and some will be disappointed I'm sure.  

 

As for the comment about quality of people out of NJ/NY, then maybe that poster shouldn't worry about what ship and this thread.

 

And I'm doing it again next month.

 

But I'm sorry, there is no comparison between Enchantment and Anthem.

As far as a new ship to Cape Liberty ... Harmony would be my choice.

 

Harmony is replacing Allure out of Galveston.  Allure is going to Port Canaveral to be beaten up on 3 & 4 night cruises.  😮

We love both for different reasons, but we also love that itinerary and the fact we can drive to Baltimore in one hour.

I will be thrilled with Odyssey in NJ in 2024! Don't get me wrong, I love Anthem, but like Odyssey more. 

Symphony would be fine too, just nice to have some different ships. 

 

What would happen to all families with kids? Odyssey does not have indoor pool?

Looks like a great combo.  Two excellent ships.

[BobNoxious]

wish it would not stop in port canaveral or nassau.   Would love Charleston for US, and PR instead of Nassau.

I am from NJ (Jersey shore) and would LOVE to get another mega ship here. I did my first RC cruise this past summer (Ovation out of Seattle) but have previously cruised out of NYC 3x (Not a fan of having to go into Manhattan just to get dropped off/picked up). I was considering booking Oasis but cannot bring myself to do Port Canaveral or Nassau again. 

 

In 2010, Carnival went from NYC to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay (Carnival's island), and Nassau. Not sure why Royal can't do something similar?

Beat her up before they fix her up. 

 

We're doing a 4 day in November. Wedding in Dazzles😁

Carnival is still doing this itinerary every year.  in early 2024 they have very interesting itinerary going to barbados, st kitts, st lucia..

 

I too am getting very very tired of the same old boring Florida, Nassau Bahamas itinerary. It would be soo much better if they do some of the winter 8-10 day cruises during the summer months too

Solarium for limited hours is my guess

Hopefully not. These ships are very crowded.

I cannot imagine what will happen to Solarium if all kids who are usually using indoor pool will use solarium.

 

Also Solarium cascade pools are not exactly regular pools... there will be safety issues I think.

 

Anyway, there are enough Quantum class ships to avoid sending Odyssey to Northeast. At least for colder season. Summer is fine.

I believe it was done on Anthem when her indoor pool was out of service due to broken glass several years ago

I am sure emergencies can happen, but this would be just a poor planning.

I don't completely understand why this ship was built without a roof above this pool, but I suppose it was planned to use it exclusively for warm climate.

Yes, warm weather. Funny how there's a huge market for that

Yes, it is sailing there now. There are other places too. We are fine with Anthem even though I am about to sail on her for #9 time. It suits needs of Northeast just fine. Hopefully if there is no other appropriate ship can be sent here Anthem stays. 🥰

I'm so damn disappointed to see Cape Canaveral and Nassau! Even with diamond status...I may have to jump ship(no pun intended) and try Carnival Venezia instead. 

Liberty needs a major renovation! Does anyone know when she is scheduled?

That's really exciting!!! Definitely want to cruise on Symphony. Do you happen to know if its still the boring old itinieray?

I do not believe that any Oasis class ships, other than Oasis, can make it under the VZ Bridge.  Oasis Class ships also cannot make it into Bermuda, the channel is not wide/deep enough for them.
