Voyager Class to West Coast?

[CL-JW]

With the construction of the first two "Freedom" class ships underway, and a LOI signed on a third, does anyone out there think they may relocate a Voyager class ship to the West Coast, based in LA or SF?

 

I really believe that the West Coast could support a Voyager class.

 

Just a thought.

It would be one heck of a repositioning cruise as they would have to sail all the way around South America.:D

It would be the repositioning cruise of a lifetime.

[CL-JW]

But it could be done.:)

 

QM2 is doing it in February 2006 for a few cruises on the West Coast.

Lets See......miami To St. Thomas To Trinidad To Rio To Chile To Peru To Costa Rico To Acapulco To Puerto Vallarta To Cabo To San Diego. Maybe 21 Days ? Lets Go !!!!!!!!!

[gadawg1979]

I was thinking 30 Days but whenever it is just let me know I will be there.

[critterchick]

I want a Radiance Class here (LA) year-round!

[gadawg1979]

strange question but where are the Freedom class ships slated to be home ported. I am assuming the Port Canaveral will get one, but it is so busy there now something will have to go.

Miami is the only city announced as getting Freedom Class so far... I think possibly NYC will get one to compete with Norwegian Dawn, and possibly one of the older Voyager class ships would go to L.A. to do Mexican Riviera cruises.

That makes sense. We'll take the Voyager here in on the west coast, we'll even take a Radiance class ship here, just somthing bigger than the Vision class. I love the Vision but it would be nice to have a newer larger ship here.

[CL-JW]

Agreed. Voyager in LA and a Radiance class in San Francisco. SF is a good base to do 10 day Alaska or Mexican Riviera round trips.

I had heard once the Freedom Class ships were out the Explorer is going to Europe. Since the Med cruises are all filled this maybe a good choice.

[Ericknow32]

I don't think a Voyager class ship would work in Europe. Radience class ships work well there because of all the glass and the nicer balconies. They also hold fewer passengers. a Voyager class ship would flud the ports with to many people. So lets bring it over to the West Coast.

[TrentS]

A Voyager class to Europe has been a rumor on here for some time, whether there's any substance to it or just wishful thinking I don't know, but nothing's been announced unless I've missed it... Even if they did send one over it would be a summer only thing. I would LOVE to do a transatlantic on one though! :)

 

I doubt they would send the Explorer though as it has the University of Miami research lab on it and for that to work they need to go to the same areas rather consistently... Unless maybe they remove that or move it over to a Freedom class ship. :confused:

We can only hope for a Voyager or Radiance class year around in CA....either way sign me up!!!!!! :D :D

Explorer of the Seas IS going to Europe in 2006! Our Company annual trip for 2006 is a 7 night mediterranean cruise on the Explorer of the Seas.

[shipknotshore]

CL-JW: Agree with you on that!! We're from Modesto so a round trip cruise out of San Francisco to Alaska, Mexico, or even Hawaii would be just what the doctor ordered. Need to get that prescription filled. :D

News to us...what is the date in February?

[elleluv]

I would LOVE it if they moved one of the Voyager class ships to the West coast. We live in Alaska... could we go any further than to fly to Orlando or Miami? A cruise from the West coast would be a lot more convenient and cost effective. I just haven't been able to get excited about the smaller ships, so we go to Florida. We could probably cruise more often if we didn't have to go so far. :D

QM2 will be in Los Angeles late February, and again in early March. She's sailing around South America to Los Angeles, then to Honolulu and back to Los Angeles, then back around South America again. As I understand it Commodore Warwick will retire in Honolulu, where his wonderful wife Kim is from.

We were told this as well at one of the C&A get togethers while onboard Mariner of the seas.
