Ladysilver Posted January 28, 2014 #1001 Share Posted January 28, 2014 to add to galveston cruiser post my better half, yesterday port of galveston approved the new 5 year agreement with rccl including a larger ship than voyager class. And the terminal # 2 rccl will double in size and improvements will be completed spring 2015 which dovetails in with navigator repositioning in spring 2015. so exciting!!!!!! :d:d:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted January 28, 2014 #1002 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Nice!! And definitely count me in for the CC gathering! Those horns on a barn would be a sight to see. Maybe not as cool as on a ship again, but still love 'em. :) -gina- Was it yesterday you were having a meeting at the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy4themouse Posted January 28, 2014 #1003 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Was it yesterday you were having a meeting at the port? Wasn't me, was a friend and some other small business owners... I need to email him and see how it went! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker in Texas Posted January 28, 2014 #1008 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Has anybody been looking at the pictures of the Navigator rehab? I can't see it possibly being ready by February 5 for prime time. They have already said the pay restaurants won't be ready until March 1.

SRV FAN Posted January 28, 2014 #1009 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Has anybody been looking at the pictures of the Navigator rehab? I can't see it possibly being ready by February 5 for prime time. They have already said the pay restaurants won't be ready until March 1. Tucker in Texas The pics show great progress & the insiders say everything is on schedule. So no worries. The restaurants are now available for booking.... So no worries there either. All's good for the Feb 5th sailing!

Cindy Posted January 28, 2014 #1010 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Has anybody been looking at the pictures of the Navigator rehab? I can't see it possibly being ready by February 5 for prime time. They have already said the pay restaurants won't be ready until March 1. Tucker in Texas The restaurant closure ended up being false information...all the restaurants have now been loaded in to the on-line reservation system. It's interesting to watch the process, and I agree...to my untrained eye it looks like a colossal mess. However, Dry Dock Dave seems to think things are right on schedule, so much so that they added some renovations in the VCL to expand the size of the dance floor. I hope we see lots more pictures this week. I'd love to see it come together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted January 28, 2014 #1011 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I agree with Cindy...what a mess...but apparently they will be ready! I don't have to worry now:D I want to hear from anyone who did the new virtual balcony cabins...I may switch from our E2 if the new T.V. wall is Kool!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katygirl5 Posted January 29, 2014 #1012 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Port of Galveston has signed a 5 year agreement with RCCL:D$10 million for port improvements approved. Today in Galveston County Daily News! YEAH:) That is great! At least we don't have to worry for 5 years.:p Sally We'll be on Nav. Feb 16, can't wait.

Rancher Dave Posted January 31, 2014 #1017 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'll put in a vote for Freedom as well. One story I saw made it sound like we may have a year round, and possibly a second ship part time. It was clear though we have full time thru at least end of 2015 and in 2015 we are to receive a larger ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted January 31, 2014 #1018 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Don't really care, but would guess Freedom. The size of the ship is not a hinderance, they can always 'back in' to the pier. All I know is that I am cruise-overdue!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancher Dave Posted January 31, 2014 #1020 Share Posted January 31, 2014 May have to take advantage of some good rates on an upcoming Navigator sailing to see the redone ship. Also better sail her from Galveston before she sails off to be replaced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside final payment they are getting back near the original release in some categories. There have also been some random drops for a week or two. My advice, watch carefully and often. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice, watch carefully and often. :) Specials come out ever week. That is what is driving the possibility. The deal would be too good to pass up. Likely would be me and mom and perhaps several of her friends (in their own cabins) that would come aboard. I will post on the M&M you started once I have it confirmed.

petel Posted February 1, 2014 #1024 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Standing by for news. :) The CC news said RCI will add 30 calls to Galveston in 2014. Anyone read that as another ship for part of the season? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted February 1, 2014 #1025 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Standing by for news. :) The CC news said RCI will add 30 calls to Galveston in 2014. Anyone read that as another ship for part of the season? :confused: It's possible based on knowns presently Except the literal indication in contract is larger ship when terminal completed. The port capital improvement expenditure schedules reflect terminal #2 will be completed 1st quarter 2015. That dovetails into a probability of Freedom Class and Independence last schedule cruise in ft Lauderdale. With out re reading threads and checking schedules Believe one other freedom class might be available and freed up also. The odds are against others.
