leesy007 Posted July 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Has anyone looked into cruises on Ecstasy leaving out of Port Canaveral next year? I saw that the ship had a recent upgrade and will be moving here to Florida in 2012. The DH and I are thinking about a 5-day to the Bahamas in May 2012. Any thoughts on this ship/cruise? Our first cruise was just this past May on the Legend, we loooved it and can not wait to get back out to sea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBCL Posted July 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2011 We had the Ecstasy booked for March, but we changed our cruise... The ship is sailing out of a different Terminal also, away from the other ones. I believe it is called Terminal CT3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenanny Posted July 16, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2011 We have our anni cruise booked on her for jan 2012. Asked some opinions on here before I booked & she seems to be an adored ship, has won many service awards, etc. We are really looking forward to it:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingusmcduffy Posted July 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I checked out the five day that goes to half moon cay and thought the prices were great. I'm sailing on the ecstasy next month and if I like it, I'm gonna book it again for Jan 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabamaprincess Posted July 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2011 We have not been on the Ecstasy yet but we have sailed on several of her sister ships (Fantasy, Fascination, Inspiration and Elation). I'm looking at a March 2012 cruise on her. We have never sailed out of Port Canaveral either, so we are looking forward to trying her out. Its also interesting that the cruise I'm looking at has three ports of call on a five day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkane10 Posted July 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I booked it for Dec 2011. Apparently they are currently building a new terminal, but it won't be finished until late 2012, so it's docking at a temporary cargo terminal. Between it's transfer from Galveston to Port Canaveral, I heard it was being drydocked and updated, so no updates on it as of yet, but it will be updated by the time it starts sailing out of PC. From what I've seen from pictures, it looks like a really nice ship, so I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgatormom29 Posted July 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I booked her for a 4 night on dec 1, 2011. Our first ever trip from the kiddos! First time ever being away from them for more than 24 hours! Can't wait. Looking forward to trying a smaller ship. Excited to hear it's going to be updated b4 brought over here!

joepeka Posted July 16, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I heard it was being drydocked and updated, so no updates on it as of yet, but it will be updated by the time it starts sailing out of PC. It looks like it's scheduled for a two week drydock this coming September (9/8-22). Those are usually just a clean-up/fix-up type of servicing, probably nothing substantial in the way of refurbishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in that category, too. Lately, since they eliminated the 50% suppl. in 1A, I have been finding better bargains on other lines. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGirlNextDoor Posted July 17, 2011 #17 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We're set sail on Ecstasy in 3 weeks!! I will try to come back and let you know how it was. Many here have told me that they love the Ecstasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGADawg10 Posted July 17, 2011 #18 Share Posted July 17, 2011 My family and I are taking a 5 night from Port Canaveral on the Ecstasy 12/3/12. We've sailed on Carnival Spirit and various Fantasy class ships and we're really excited (even though it's over a year away)! Only having really experience on fantasy class ships, we LOVE them and would recommend them to anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
