RCI to start deployement plans for next year!

[DonnaK]

a Freedom class ship in Bayonne.

[dachshunddoglover]

My dream would be to bring back the Mariner to Port Canaveral to do the 3/4 nighters that Monarch does now.

And - I would love more Southern Carribean out of Florida. San Juan is too difficult to fly to.

While a ship out of philly would be really nice, have you ever tried going out of Bayonne? We live in the NE suburbs of the city and it took us about 1 1/2 hours to drive there.

 

 

No Ive never thought about doing that I will have to look into that thanks for the info.

[golf43]

I would love to see one leave out of NC or SC. (especially summer to fall)We spend more in traveling than some of our cruises cost and I would love to put more of my budget towards the actual cruise! :D Im sure RCCL wouldnt mind having the gas company's or Southwest's share ;)

 

I agree on this too. That would make it so much easier to get to a port. Imagine just driving a few hours. Carnival even has a ship in Charleston. Thats only 4 hours away for us. Wish Royal would put a cruise ship there too.

[mintee]

Agreed! Charleston would be awesome!! Make it a good ship..not the oldest and smallest like Carnival has....

[Martini Sampler]

Bring back the 12-night British Isles & Norwegian Fijords

Would really love to see a ship sail out of Cleveland. It could make stops in Detroit, Chicago, maybe even Toledo. Who needs the Caribbean? It has hurricanes. Isn't everyone tired of laying in the sun?:rolleyes:

 

I know of one small cruise company that handles these types of itineraries but It would be awesome if one of the big lines did a great lakes itinerary....the lakes are definitely big enough to handle the ships with many freighters going 800-1000 feet in length. Itineraries could include Chicago, Mackinac Island, Sault St. Marie, Detroit, Toronto etc...The Great Lakes Waterway would also allow smaller cruise ships to go all the way to Montreal and Quebec City on the way out to sea. Not an obvious choice for destinations but especially places in Lake Michigan and Huron like Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island are great little harbor towns with a lot to do and beautiful coastlines. I feel the flames already

[JeffHatfield]

Radiance-class out of Baltimore!

 

And it needs to do a 10 / 11 day itinerary.

[TPKeller]

Where can a cruise ship dock in North Carolina? And then of course you need the infrastructure for the terminal services and parking...

[Kimmie36]

build one small enough to go under dames point bridge in jacksonville fl. Carnival has no competition. They have a gold mine using a old boat.

 

 

 

so true!

[NaturalLove]

I wish they had itineraries that left out of: Southport, NC; Savannah, GA; and Charleston, SC. That would be awesome. Any class, but the Sovereign class.

[cdamion]

Would really love to see a ship sail out of Cleveland. It could make stops in Detroit, Chicago, maybe even Toledo. Who needs the Caribbean? It has hurricanes. Isn't everyone tired of laying in the sun?:rolleyes:

 

No way. It should leave Chicago and stop in Cleveland and the other stops.

[SkaterJasp]

Maybe it's time for Royal Caribbean to be renamed Royal European Cruise Lines.

[molly361]

-Southern Caribbean sailings out of Florida

-10 day cruises out of Florida or San Juan

-bring back Panama Canal sailings

 

 

I'll second that and add Bermuda cruise out of a Florida port.

[Straughn]

Radiance-class out of Baltimore!

 

Amen to that! I don't care which one, any Radiance ship will do.

[Cruisin Around]

Sorry to maybe sound dumb, but right now there is basically no Caribbean itineraries out of NJ or MD for Fall 2012. Could one possibly be added or is the deployment finalized as of now?

[nbsjcruiser]

RCI (and other cruise lines too for that matter) really need to spruce up their Eastern Caribbean itineraries. Sure, I can chose one on the Allure or Oasis for a scandalous amount of money but its time they had some smaller ships like the Radiance or the Jewel doing some nice 7 day eastern itineraries out of Miami or FLL. The nicest cruise I've ever been on was an 8 day Eastern on the Radiance. Beautiful ship, fantastic itinerary - it was a real treat.

[nelblu]

Would like to see a R/t cruise covering San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver.

[FLASHINGLIGHTS83]

Would love to see a Freedom Class ship do a Southern Caribbean in October of 2012.

 

I'll second that, but it can be any ship....radiance class, voyager class or freedom class...

[not2old]

Also would love a Freedom class out of Bayonne! Would like to see Southern Caribbean-Aruba, Curacao,Barbados,etc. out of Bayonne or Fla. Too expensive to fly to San Juan!!! Definitely would like to see more 7 nights to Bermuda out of Bayonne for Sept/Oct!! Two overnights in Bermuda would be awesome in the fall!!! Feel free to move the Enchantment out of Baltimore, replace it with a ship that can accomadate the number of passengers that like to sail out of this port, in this port, "stretched" is not working!

[finallyonboard]

Freedom class out of Bayonne. 10, 11 & 12 day Southern Caribbean.:D

[SamFritz]

Would really love to see a ship sail out of Cleveland. It could make stops in Detroit, Chicago, maybe even Toledo. Who needs the Caribbean? It has hurricanes. Isn't everyone tired of laying in the sun?:rolleyes:

 

I was thinking of a Buffalo Homeport, with a similar itinnerary!:D

[Dizzly]

GALVESTON - ALL YEAR ROUND!!!

 

Freedom class or Radiance class :D

 

+1 to that, plus I'd love to see some 3/4 night offerings out of Galveston.

[birdylady]

My dream would be to bring back the Mariner to Port Canaveral to do the 3/4 nighters that Monarch does now.

And - I would love more Southern Carribean out of Florida. San Juan is too difficult to fly to.

E-Beth

 

And PLEASE send the Monarch to Charleston to do year round 3/4 nighters.

 

Charleston is building a new dock just for cruise ships. Can't RCI be one of them? PLEASE, pretty please with a cherry on top. :D
