waiting4acruise Posted June 15, 2010 #202 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like the 11/14 Magic sailing is a 6 dayer, then 7 days for 4 cruises, then the 8 day Christmas cruise, then another 6 day NYE cruise, then back to 7 days ad naseum. Where do you see these cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmdiver Posted June 15, 2010 #216 Share Posted June 15, 2010 We've done 3 out of Galveston - no problems for me! I'd do that all the time if there was more variety out of Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted June 15, 2010 #217 Share Posted June 15, 2010 If I was offered a free cruise, I would take it!:D What's so bad about Galveston??? Its far from the Houston airport and you cant rent a car on sundays. Makes it expensive to fly in ..for the rest of us, we love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted June 15, 2010 #218 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Ah, I see now. We drive, so I wasn't aware of that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasMommy Posted June 15, 2010 #219 Share Posted June 15, 2010 We are sailing out of Galveston in less than 2 weeks. Would love the Magic to be there. More cabins I would think would mean more capacity and thus lower rates. Right? Amen to more port variety. The same "ol thing" in ports gets old.

firefly333 Posted June 15, 2010 #220 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Well actually you can RENT a car on Sunday in Houston, you just cant turn it in when you get to Galveston. There used to be ways to leave it somewhere, but people were having issues where the car was said to be damaged the following day when the rental car places opened and what not .. You just really have to take a expensive shuttle from the airport to get to Galveston. ..and IAH isnt that close to the port, Hobby is about half the distance, but not many flights. Folks on my roll call for my last voyager cruise, were all swearing about Galveston before the cruise started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijo Posted June 15, 2010 #221 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I was personally told today by a Carnival vacation planner that the Magic will make it's transatlantic voyage from Barcelona to Galveston next October 2011 and will then be based in Galveston. Sorry New Orleans but this is real info from Carnival- not a rumor. He wasn't sure what would happen to the Conquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the prices in Galveston will only go up. Right know Galveston has the demand so more cabins won't affect bookings. Also new ships are always priced higher, so the cruise prices will more than likely go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent_Schultz Posted June 15, 2010 #224 Share Posted June 15, 2010 A number of people say cruises out of Galveston command a premium price. I imagine Carnival will expect a premium premium price for Magic. If advance bookings aren't strong, Carnival could easily change their minds. They have done it before - even after being officially announced {which this one hasn't been}. As mentioned before, I did book it, but am assuming the final destination was a typo that will be corrected with the official announcement. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
