Micahs Grandad Posted January 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Good for us as we will have the opportunity to sail on the Breeze. We much prefer Dream class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaCruiserFromtheATX Posted January 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2017 That's what they are going to do prolly from now on is move the newer ship to Galveston and make room in Miami for the brand new ship. The horizon. That's what happened when the vista went to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted January 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Wonder why they would do that especially with the bigger ships and fog constantly being an issue? So now when there are delays, it will be on an even bigger proportion. I'm scared to sail from there for that very reason. What a mess it becomes.

232271 Posted January 12, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I, for one, am THRILLED :D:D I dont mind fog delay's as long as i am on a ship! Living in Dallas, it's only a 5 hour drive to port!!! WOO HOO:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCruiserFromtheATX Posted January 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2017 They do that because they are carnival's most demand port outside of Florida. So they are wanting to keep cruisers happy with bringing in the newer ships to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a couple of times a year, but that's not any more than any other tropical location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted January 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Why not move it to Port Canaveral then? Should be able to handle these massive ships and it's my preferred port lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog really is not as big of an issue down here as every one likes to make it seem. Handful of sailings a year and usually only in winter...Sailed several times and go there on weekends frequently with zero issues. That being said...so excited to have Vista only one hour away!

Not from what I have read. Fog is a familiar problem there, but I think it's worse certain times of the year. Can't recall how many times I have seen posts on people delayed for hours due to it there, but it has been a lot. Sure, every port can have problems, but fog seems to haunt Galveston. I think I saw once where it happened in Miami, and maybe a couple in Tampa. Still makes me vow to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, THIS exactly. 😊 I've cruised out of Galveston I don't even know how many times, and the only time we ever ran into fog was one night between Cozumel and Belize. The fog horn blew all night, but it was clear when we arrived in a Belize in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury me at sea Posted January 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not having a Dream class ship based in Galveston will result in my taking a more serious look at Royal Caribbean. That or the Freedom. That class isn't my favorite though it is far more enticing than the Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaCruiserFromtheATX Posted January 12, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I love the fact that they keep bringing over these newer ships to Galveston. Lets me take cruises on them instead of having to go all the way to Florida to experience the newer ships. I am confused though as to why they are doing away with the Bahamas on the ship. I suppose that's because the freedom will still go:) there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupcake8503 Posted January 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I wish Galveston had better itineraries so I can consider leaving from there. Their itineraries suck. Good thing I'm cruising Vista this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaCruiserFromtheATX Posted January 12, 2017 #23 Share Posted January 12, 2017 i too am disappointed no Bahamas! Yeah but I am super stoked about the vista coming to Galveston. Just booked the Breeze for next January so that worked out great. Now I am feverishly looking at the Vista cruises right now to get the cabin I want and when I want to go! :):):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
