LRav19 Posted May 13, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2007 My wife and I have been on three cruises. Most recently on the Holiday last October. We are thinking about taking a cruise this November out of Galveston on the Ectasy, but this time my wife wants to be on a bigger ship. We have been on the Holiday, Celebration, and Jubilee. Will she be disappointed in the Ectasy size wise? She has really enjoyed all three cruises, but now wants to go on a ship that has the large grand atrium and so forth. We only have a few days of vacation so we cannot do the Conquest. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellDeserved Posted May 14, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Our next cruise is on the Fantasy out of New Orleans. Better prices than the Holiday or the Ecstacy. Most recent of the Fantasy class to be refurbished (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted May 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2007 For some reason the prices on the Ecstasy have been higher in comparison to the Fantasy. Look at both, it might be worth the 3 hour extra drive. Both ships are basically the same with interior decor different. Compared to the three ships you have listed, the Ecstasy would be a step up in size. Plus it has an atrium, more venues, larger gift shops.

Dave Jetskier I went to look to compare and even though the Fantasy is lower this fall, for January, the Fantasy prices start at $279 and the Ecstasy prices start at $269, so you can get the Ecstasy lower. Maybe that means the Fantasy prices will come down though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible the demand for the Ecstasy is not where it has been in the past and they are finally bringing down the prices to what we have been enjoying in New Orleans and Mobile. That will be good news for those sailing out of Galveston. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzman Posted May 14, 2007 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've been kinda curious about why so many ships are pulling out of Galveston. Princess is sending the Grand to FLL and I've also read that RCCI is also leaving. What's up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzvickie Posted May 14, 2007 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2007 We have been on the Celebration and the Ecstasy all out of Galveston, the Ecstasy is alot bigger and more elaborate than the Celebration. We enjoyed the Celebration just as much though. As it was our first cruise. We are going on the Conquest in Sept and looking forward the the size difference. Hope she enjoys!!!!!!

cruzvickie Posted May 14, 2007 #10 Share Posted May 14, 2007 We are cruising Sept 30, 2007 and looking sooooo forward to it! We have cruised on the Elation, the Ecstasy and the Celebration so far and now the Conquest is coming up. So far my favorite has to be the Elation, it is the most beautiful ship inside and out. Happy sailing on your cruise. Vickie:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
