dutch59 Posted October 17, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Does anyone know what ship will be replacing MOS...I was on it in March and really loved it (it was our first cruise ever!!!), and we're thinking about booking another cruise in 2009. We're bringing along first time cruisers :) when we go, & I would like to know what ship will be at that port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippytime Posted October 17, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nothing has been announced yet. It doesn't look like RCI is leaving Port Canaveral since Monarch is replacing Sovereign, so lets keep our fingers crossed that PC gets a ship for 7 night cruises. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted October 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2007 When I was on Mariner, the CD and Capt said that while nothing has been decided yet, it doesn't appear that RCI will leave Port Canaveral without a large ship. I don't remember the excat words Capt Per used to explain this, but he said something along the line of using virtual equipment, they have been practicing "parking" a Genesis ship there, and it is doable without further dredging. As well, a Freedom class ship will "fit" there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittymom65 Posted October 17, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The rumors have been floating around now for awhile that it will be Freedom or Liberty. I just wish they would go ahead and make an announcement so we can start planning our 2009 cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy-David Posted October 17, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just tell us. I am planning a Fall 2009 cruise and would love to have a Freedom class ship in Port Canaveral. I drive from Ohio and it cuts a lot of hours of the drive to the port. To have the Genesis there would be the ultimate.... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're bringing along first time cruisers :) when we go, & I would like to know what ship will be at that port. I think RCI will replace Mariner with another 7 day ship -- many rumors on Freedom class and of course on Geneis. There are a few other threads out there about this issue and if I can find links, I will post them. Those of us that love Port C are hoping folks continue to express positive support for keeping a 7 day ship at that port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitzLA Posted October 17, 2007 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Monarch is replacing Sovereign? Monarch is leaving L.A.? I guess this is what I get for going on vacation. I missed this whole announcement. I guess it sounds like RCCL are doing away with the 3 and 4 day out of Los Angeles? Doesn't sound like they have any plans to replace her. Oh well, we have Mariner. That is all I need. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted October 17, 2007 #14 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The "SOS" is going to Europe, and the Mariner is going to LA. They are bringing the Monarch here to replace the SOS, to run her route. Our port authorities are still in negotiations with RCCL to replace the Mariner. Things are not worked out yet, but we are hoping for the best. Cheers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted October 17, 2007 #18 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi SherriZ!! :D Hey Pat. Our countdowns for FOS are running well but as you can see we are doing Enchantment soon. Glad to hear about the ongoing negotiations. I really think there is a good chance Port C will get a 7 day ship. I would bet on a Freedom class ship. When this wonderful happening is announced, we should try to coordinate and sail together again. (still can't believe you will be getting off FOS as we are boarding).

Cheers! :) I have to wonder if the size of the ship that goes in depends on when they get the port redone. As I'm to understand PC is about to start a huge expansion of the port. So that it can support the bigger class ships being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsPete Posted October 17, 2007 #23 Share Posted October 17, 2007 While I wouldn't risk a guess on a specific name, I think it's a sure-thing that RC will replace Mariner with one of the newer, large 7-day ships. Why? LOTS of people fall within the same boundaries I do: - We're close enough to drive to Port Canaveral in one day, but Miami is a two-day trip. - We are not willing to pay airfare x the whole family in addition to the cruise cost, so if we can't drive, we'll choose a different vacation. They're not going to lose this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy-David Posted October 18, 2007 #24 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Dave - Did you forget about me already? I sent you an e-mail did you receive it. I did forget about you already. My sincerest apologizes. I guess since we are friends from way back when, I didn't count you as a new contact. By the way, I got your email and will reply this weekend. Liz and I are leaving in the morning to head down to central Kentucky for the day. Just a little past Maysville. We are going to the BlueLick Battlefields to have dinner and spend some time with old friends of Liz's mother. Will promise not to forget you again and will be in touch soon.

dutch59 Posted October 18, 2007 Author #25 Share Posted October 18, 2007 If I book the date that we want, actually with Liberty of the Seas, and that happens to be the one going to PC, how exactly does that leave or change things? If we do the Eastern (out of Miami) for example, and it then gets moved to PC, will the itinerary change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
