Valor is being relocated

cdamion · February 16, 2012

I got a call from my PVP this afternoon that the Valor is going to San Juan for the S. Caribbean route. When I looked on 'Manage My Cruises' our 3/10/2013 Valor trip has been removed. John Heald mentioned on facebook that there would be several announcements about ships coming out tomorrow. Perhaps the Victory will be moved to Tampa? Oh well...I am now looking for a different cruise...perhaps Panama Canal Miracle repo. Some very interesting and different itineraries in the works. Anyone else getting calls or seeing cruises disappear when you log in?

Ooh. That is good news. I would love to see Valor on the Southern Caribbean route.

Aren't they having a hard time selling out the Victory as it is? It seems odd that they would move a nicer ship there, IMO.

No, its a very popular sailing..with almost a port a day.

The schedule for Destiny stops at Jan 26 2013...things are falling into place :)

hmm. That's interesting. That could mean two things.

I know in 2013 the Destiny is going in for a major drydock. It was scheduled before for over 7 weeks, and then the cruise dates were added back.

Or it could mean that the Destiny is going back to San Juan.

The Valor's schedule now ends at Jan 27 as her last cruise.

So the three ships in this announcement must be the Destiny, Victory, and Valor.

The last Valor trip from Miami is February 3rd

I don't understand - we are booked and paid for a cruise on Valor out of Miami in June. Does this mean I have to start all over? Will they auto-refund?

Now it show the options for Valor are San Juan and Barbados..cant pull anything up just yet. Maybe in a hour or so.

Victory is showing Miami

Ok. So the Destiny's date must have been pulled for drydock, maybe?

stargazingjess · February 16, 2012

Could the Destiny be going to Europe?

When I go to the Fun Ship page, and click the "+" sign by Destiny, it says:

Destinations: Bahamas,Caribbean,Transatlantic

Home Ports: Miami, FL

Pure speculation on my part =)

you guys are like private I's. I'm sure the FBI could use some help solving a few cases

hehe:cool:

I realized that almost as soon as I hit the submit button, and then my internet decided not to stay connected so I could delete or edit my question. :)

Thanks, though! I am glad to hear that our cruise won't be affected!

Hmm. I can still only see their original homeports. Can you still see the new homeports?

I have heard speculation that the Destiny will be undergoing a major drydock in Europe and then she would operate European cruises after the drydock.

Thats weird. Its back to just saying Bahamas and Caribbean for the Destiny.

Hmmm

I see Feb 20 2013 is a date option for Transatlantic...that is really early to do a TA cruise....

http://www.carnival.com/cruise-to/Transatlantic.aspx

This is way better than waiting on an announcement

So that rumor I heard must have been correct. It looks like the Destiny is going to Europe for her major drydock.

If the ship sales to the south it will be warmer. I did a Transatlantic

on the Dream in 09. It was in the high 70's the whole way. And

that was in November. Also I am sure the prices are going to be

very good.

DaytonCruiser · February 16, 2012

Looks like Victory will just do 2-5 day cruises out of Miami. So those Valor pax that had their cruise cancelled, will have to find another ship.

Hi JP, you still up, checking itineraries?

Ok. So it looks like the Victory is taking over for the Destiny.
