Muumuu Posted January 29, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Any idea when the Magic will do the translantic? I would love to book and then follow it with the transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted January 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2010 We are waiting for the same information. I'm surprised that the TA wasn't announced the same time as the European sailings. We love sea days and want to try out a smoke-free "Cloud 9" balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaLuvCruising Posted January 29, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The transatlantic will likely be Oct 28, 2011 from Barcelona. I'm axious to see the route, as that late in the season will be colder. I'd likely book ES and watch for fare drops as the TA's usually don't fill up as fast as other cruises. I hope they don't wait until Spring to announce this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't wait until Spring to announce this. I too think it will be Oct. 28th. That's really not that late. We took the Liberty TA at that time and the weather was nice. We took a RCI TA in the middle of Nov. and the weather was not as good. Hoping to go on that TA as our Milestone. We will have at least 28 cruises with CCL in 6 years by then. We just found out you can take the milestone credits on any cruise after your 25th. We arw happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted January 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2010 It will be Oct 28 from Barcelona to New Orleans. ;) The Carnival Dream crossing began Oct 28th last year and the weather was fine until it started getting close to NYC. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - we had hoped to make that cruise our milestrone also, but would be over 25 by then - not happy that it looked like we would have to cancel carnival cruises & sub other brands to get it worked out. Who did you talk to about using any cruise after the 25th for your milestone cruise? Thanks, bots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchTTU Posted January 29, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm hoping it is. :cool: Nah, its gonna be Galveston. I'm starting the rumor right now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted January 29, 2010 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I wish. Carnival really needs more ships/itineraries out of Galveston. Nah, its gonna be Galveston. I'm starting the rumor right now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doe326 Posted January 29, 2010 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Was on the Jan. 18th sailing of Ecstasy and the CD Steve said Carnival hopes to have 5 ships sailing from Texas. They are looking at Corpus Christie and Houston. Didn't say exactly when it would happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did you talk to about using any cruise after the 25th for your milestone cruise? Thanks, bots I originally talked to my PVP who quoted me back the corporate page. I had read on a thread that a poster was taking their milestone award on their 27th cruise so I asked my PVP to research more. He called the milestone department then called me back with his info. The milestone lady said that a letter would be sent out to the passenger after the 24th cruise informing him/her of the award. She also said it is up to the passenger to request this award. It can be on the 25th cruise but does not have to be used on that cruise. Her statement was that it can be on the 27th, 29th, they don't care. We will use our milestone credit before our 30th so I did not ask if there was a back end limit/ a no later than cruise number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskier Posted January 29, 2010 #15 Share Posted January 29, 2010 What is the milestone credt? You get a Milestone Reward when you hit certain cruises 25th equals 25% off one cruise 50th equals 50% off one cruise 75th equals 75% off one cruise 100th equals 100% off one cruise (up to 8 days) We are fixing to go on our 21st so we are getting close also.

Hey JP! How are you?? It's been ages! You have to admit, that Nor'easter from Bermuda to NYC on the Dream TA was AWESOME! With +60ft seas, even the Lark Scooter riders looked like drunken sailors! We sat in the Piano Bar and watched the martinis spill over the sides... :p You planning to jump on the Magic TA as soon as they announce it? Us too! YAY ~ REUNION CRUISE!!!

Who did you talk to about using any cruise after the 25th for your milestone cruise? Thanks, bots Not to worry....you can use it on any cruise you want to. You do not have to use it on your 25th cruise. They mail you a certificate and you apply it to any cruise (I believe) within 18 or 24 months. If we get to cruise the Magic in June (still between that one and Princess)...we will be using a 50th Milestone OBC!!! woo hoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LambKnuckles Posted June 12, 2010 #21 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I've dreamed of taking a TA... and if the price is right, I may take three weeks off and go with the TA and Maiden cruise from Galveston!!!

I think we'll sail to Roatan, Belize and Costa Maya... :rolleyes:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rok4u2 Posted June 13, 2010 #24 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Yep, todays rumour is that it is a "toss up" between Galveston and New Orleans for the MAGIC's home port. :D BUT just because either of them may be the home post does not mean that the TA will go directly there. The DREAM is in Florida but our TA in 2009 was to NYC. I really don't care - I will be on the TA from Spain to ????? USA on Oct 28th 2012. I know that a lot of the those who were on the DREAM will be on the MAGIC too. I have also spoken with a few who were on the FREEDOM TA, Rome to Miami, in 2007, and they will also book for a "reunion" cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
