Carnival Rep confirms Baltimore

[madelinerose]

We barely had any snow in 2007.

 

I don't know how much Baltimore gets but we get a lot!

[seashell36]

I forgot to mention, the Grand Turk/Half Moon Cay/Freeport itinerary is only available late May-end of August, starting in 2010.

 

That is really not any good at all! So, what about the rest of the year? I wouldn't think most people would want to cruise to a Florida port. And we really don't like Nassau. We do not cruise during the summer - so I guess we're out of luck.

[familycruzer]

How many pax do we need to get a cc group cruise started? This would be perfect.

 

 

I would book a group cruise if it was between mid June and mid August.

[DqALEX]

If Its a winter cruise can I wear my Jeans??

[Carnival Game]

You can always wear jeans....except on formal night.

 

But that's a different thread!

I believe on March 9, 2008 we got about 20 inches!

Faeriechick, thanks so much for relaying this information. I for one am absolutely thrilled to hear this news. I already have a call into my PVP and I am planning on booking one of the 1st cruises out of Baltimore.

 

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) :D :)

LOL I always wear Jeans the first and last day of a cruise unless its a summer cruise

I like spring or fall because of the price and less kids but I would be fine with late August. Are you a teacher?

This past winter we had maybe 2 inches total.

 

Cruising out of Baltimore in the Winter sailing down the Chesapeak will be wonderful!

We did a Port Canaveral stop on NCL. We had a great time with the kids. Spent the day at a resort swimming at the beach and using the pool and other amenities. It wasn't some exotic tropical island but we had a blast and were still on a cruise.

This is great news! I will book aboard my cruise on victory in July. What is the OBC for 7 days in a balcony stateroom?

 

 

Are they doing the "Book a future cruise" on ships now??? If so I will wait to book until our July 26th Victory cruise.

As of right now, they are only doing that on the Valor and the Liberty. I would see if you can get a good deal right now before they start booking up. It's hard to say what the demand will be when people start booking. I know last time Carnival did Baltimore there was a huge demand for the sailing.

Thanks again. ((hugs))

 

I lost a wonderful PVP. (She left) and now I am just taking s shot in the dark. I left a voice mail for a PVP I spoke with 2 years ago but havn't heard back from here yet. I hope she calls soon.

No but I have a kid going into college and one going into high school. I am still a nice mom that brings them along with us on cruises.

I know they do it on RCL. Another cc member told me the OBC is $100 for 7 day cruises so I am guessing you can book onboard. I go on victory 7/7/08. I will let you know how it was.

That is nice of you. DH and I usually reserve the cruise for ourselves. We take the kids on other types of trips. I am open to summer months as well. Once they put out the new itinerary we'll see.:)

Itineraries are out until at least August 2010. You just need to call and ask.

Hey, I have an e-mail friend in Tulsa.

 

Most winters are pretty mild around here.

Maybe one or two snows and thats about it.:)

[LHP]

Woo Hoo Marylandlady....the crossing the fingers worked!!! :D

 

Congrats!!!!

[madelinerose]

WOW! IMO, global warming has hit Baltimore big time. Now watch, we'll have the 20 inches of snow this year! :D

 

I believe on March 9, 2008 we got about 20 inches!

I spoke with a Carnival rep yesterday at cruise show about Carnival returning to Baltimore.

She confirmed that Carnival is indeed returning next year & says it will be announced tomorrow(Thursday, June 5)

She didn't tell me which boat but that it would be there year round.

Anyone know anything about this?

 

It will be the Carnival Pride. The Carnival Splendor is replacing her for the Mex Riviera out of Long Beach and the Pride will relocate to Baltimore.:)

[posh08]

Baltimore will be great anytime of year. It is closer than Norfolk and "Charm City" is a wonderful town to visit. A Christmas cruise............:D

[bguppies]

I was wondering how long it was going to take the cruiselines to start moving the departure ports closer to the populace.

 

Granted, any cruise out of Baltimore, Norfolk and Charleston will result in extra sea days, but as long as the prices drop with increased frequemcy, it will be worhtwhile.

 

Baltimore is convienient for Pennsylvania, southern NJ, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and DC.

 

Norfolk will help the folks in DC, Virginia, and West Virginia and North Carolina.

 

Charleston helps out South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennesse, etc...

 

Can't wait to see the itineraries and pricing.

 

Kudos to Carnival for bringing the product to the people.

Baltimore is also drivable from the Boston area or in my case...an easy train ride. :D
