I say She is doing the Med with the place to catch her is ROME, She is going Mediteranian. I want to be there.

[Host Caroline]

[size=3][color=navy]Carnival Liberty is starting off in the Mediterranean on (I believe) July 12 2005.. but then she arrives in November in Ft Lauderdale.. our contest is to see who can come closest to guessing the itinerary once she gets to FLorida ... so far Carnival has given us no clues[/color][/size]:confused:

[FastFreddie]

It will go to: St. Maartin, St. Thomas/St John, Martinique, back to Ft Lauderdale.

[bluelghttr]

ok here goes my guess

Since carnival has been an industry leader
i am going to say Carnival Liberty goes to
the west coast, to be the first Mega liner stationed there
Leaving from long Beach
doing Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, in the winter
and doing the alaskan run in the summmer
Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Cruising Inside Passage
again becoming the first mega liner cruising that itinary
which is just fine by me then they can send back through the panama
canal either the Carnival pride, or the spirit
the us here on the east coast, My personal FAV

Mitch

[Host Caroline]

Mitch:) : I like the way you think!! Maybe that will happen after next fall but I'd be surprised if they would bring her over and sail her thru the canal in November/December but you never know.. I would definitely like to see an Inside Passage cruise in Alaska on Carnival!

so is this your official guess????:confused: :D

[cruzn buckeye]

Western...Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Montego Bay and Belize.
Eastern....St. Thomas, St.Maarten, Dominica.

[emerald777]

How come we can all come up with great itineraries, but Carnival is dragging their feet! C'mon Carnival! Tell us where she's going!!!!!!! I still hope that Turks and Caicos is one of the ports!

[cruisekimmy]

Maybe it will be a 7day Hawaii cruise..Leaving from Honolulu..and then going to Port Allen, Nawiliwili, Kauai,Kona-kailua,Hilo, Hawaii..!!

That would be fun!

[Guest Crazeecat5]

I think the Liberty will continue to do the Med. in the Summer and then will relocate to Los Angeles where it will do the Hawaiian islands, returning to LA.
Anyway DH and I just booked the Med cruise for Aug.1, 2005. Anyone want to join us?

It is unlikey that the Liberty will be sailing from anywhere on the left coast, including Alaska and Hawaii. She is a Conquest class ship so she won't squeeze through the Panama Canal, even if they lather KY jelly on her hull. We sailed the Pride through the canal and there was barely one foot clearance on each side. I suppose they could always take the long way around which would make for an interesting repositioning cruise.

Port Allen - Eleele - (Kauai) - where the Holo Holo goes out of the harbor that it shares with the Navy, on its cruise along the Na Pali coastline enroute to Niihau and Lehua.

[emerald777]

Having just returned from the Great Mystery Tour on Navigator of the Seas, I'm not ready for another one (mystery cruise that is! )

[Aloha_Jackie]

I'd expect an answer anytime soon - they've got to get brochures and other literature made up, edit webpages etc, pricelists and all that too...why wont they say?????.........Sweet Caroline....say its Turks!!!! Caicos....oooh la la

[Aloha_Jackie]

My Carnival Europe 05 brochure shows Liberty in Ft Lauderdale on 11/9 with one stop in St Mararten, I wonder if they will like it so much that on their itinerary that they will want to make it part of their return itinerary??? The brochure states that she's "big, bold, beautiful and easily Europe's most fun-loving superstar" - 12 day Grand Med looks totally cool!

[Sealegs]

Ft Lauderdale,St Marten,Bardos,Martinque

OK...First let me preface this by saying Boooo Hisssss CBS! Why do you keep preempting Big Brother????? Anyway, since BB isn't on, I had the bright idea of checking port schedules to see if the Lberty was actually already scheduled for any. I figured they have to negotiate those things pretty far in advance. I knew it would be a long shot, but thanks to Grand Cayman being the most organized port on the face of the earth, I found one! On 24 November 2005, the Carnival Liberty is scheduled to dock in Grand Cayman!!!!!! So, using my powers of deduction, I have deduced that the week we plan on sailing Liberty, it will be on an Eastern Itinerary! Which means WE won't be going to Grand Cayman, but at least we now have ONE port on her schedule! So Caro, do I win anything??????? How about 1 free slot pull in the casino?? On a nickel machine???

[Host Caroline]

[font=Century Gothic][color=navy][color=red]Emerald[/color]: good detective work!!! So that means traditional east and west itineraries.. and yes, you get your free casino thing-y.... [/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=navy][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=navy]I'm gonna be pouty and say I hope the east isn't St Maarten and St Thomas... been there, done that.. and look at the weather.. poor Caymanites this evening...[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=navy][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=navy][b]and furthermore[/b], BB5 is on at 10 p.m. tonight:)[/color][/font]

[Host Caroline]

[color=navy]As soon as hurricane season dies down I'm betting we will see an itinerary for the Liberty!!! After all she is arriving in Florida in November 2005!!![/color]
[color=navy][/color]
[b][size=3][color=navy]Any last creative guesses?????[/color][/size][/b]:confused: :D

[dawnc]

Carnival announced the ports, who was closest? It looks like a hard call. It doesn't seem like anyone was expecting 3 different itineraries for this ship!
