Summerlove4ever Posted March 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2011 AGH! I have patiently been waiting and checking the ship calendar on RCCL's website to see what ships are leaving out of Cape Liberty for 2012 and nothing so far! I thought last week they were going to post them. I know, 2012 is still far away, but I like having something to look forward to. Not to mention finding out what ships will be here on the East Coast! :p Come on RCCL, I'm waiting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negc Posted March 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Only Bermuda...northeasterners are waiting for the caribbean itineraries from Bayonne. I don't understand why they released Bermuda and not the Caribbean.:confused: Because last week's schedule called for release of Northeast and New England/Canada cruises only. Summer Caribbean cruises are due later (in April I believe) so you need to exercise some patience. This week and next they are scheduled to release the transatlantic itineraries.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since a different ship most likely isn't coming to the northeast, I have no interest in the northeast itinerary anyway. My kids would much rather get the flowrider. We are planning on the Allure or Oasis for 2012. I was only responding the the OP's question.

DonnaK Posted March 22, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It appears that the entire summer is taken up with 7 day Bermuda sailings on Explorer, so is it possible that there are NO Caribbean sailings from NJ during the summer (unless they assign another ship here, which seems less and less likely as the other ships all appear to be headed to Europe.

funfamilyof6 Posted March 22, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Wow...that is service, RCCL just released the 9 day Caribbean sailings....I think they just went out. Maybe I'm losing my mind, it's possible I was looking at 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling they may be bringing an new ship in after that Oct. 2012 date and that is why they haven't went past that particular month yet. At this point I don't even know if that is possible.

Summerlove4ever Posted March 22, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I was looking to see what was being offered in June of 2012 from Cape Liberty or New York or even Boston, but nothing (other than Explorer for Bermuda). I was under the impression like many others that the week of March 14th all sailings from this area would be released. Guess I was wrong. I'll just keep checking.....

Last week, someone posted a page from the RCI website that had only 7 day Bermuda sailings throughout summer 2012 for Explorer. The categories were marked N/A because they couldn't be booked yet. This would leave no room in the schedule for the 9 day Bermuda/Caribbean cruises. I looked all over for the link, but couldn't find it. :( Maybe someone else (a TA?) can provide it?

From May thru August it is still doing 5 night Bermuda, but every 2 weeks starting May 5, just like it has always done. The missing date ranges are 9 days long and have not been released yet. That's what we are waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 day Bermuda sailings in the Summer that are already posted are missing exactly 9 days in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I don't even know if that is possible. A much more likely explanation is that the Bermuda cruise season ends in October and other itineraries will replace the Bermuda itinerary at that time. We should know more when the Caribbean itineraries are released.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booklady26 Posted March 22, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I find it unusual that there are no fall sailings to New England & Canada from Bayonne on the Explorer. That's a very popular itinerary. Unlike the Caribbean sailings which tend to be full of people from the NY area, people travel from all over for those sailings. You can't sail to Maine & Nova Scotia from Florida! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khm1 Posted March 31, 2011 #25 Share Posted March 31, 2011 So......maybe I missed it somewhere. When, exactly are the summer '12, 9-night itineraries on Explorer out of NJ going to be released? I am anxiously waiting. I am closer to Baltimore, but the summer '12 itineraries are a complete let-down for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
