Topo Gigio Posted May 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Was wondering what the latest rumors are on her new home port. Someone posted that she is scheduled to visit St.Maarten in Nov 2014 but obviously not from Bayonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you confusing the Explorer with the Enchantment? M Don't think he is confusing the Enchantment with the Explorer. Big rumors are that PC will get a 3rd RCI ship next year and it looks like the puzzle is coming together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsKC08 Posted May 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Was wondering what the latest rumors are on her new home port. Someone posted that she is scheduled to visit St.Maarten in Nov 2014 but obviously not from Bayonne. Last week on the Freedom during our Crown and Anchor party our Captain said that she would move to year round out of Galvaston in 2014 with the arrival of Quantum in Bayonne. As for Port Canaveral...our Captain said there was some rumors of another ship coming there, but nothing has been scheduled as of yet. I know that we heard rumors about an Oasis class (there are two more in the works by the way) but he said it is very unlikely that Canaveral would get an Oasis class ship anytime in the future.

UCF_Knight Posted May 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Given that Port Canaveral has already publicly announced that Royal Caribbean is going to put a 3rd ship there for part of the year starting in winter 2014-2015, it isn't shocking it will be Explorer. The timing certainly works. "Port Canaveral expects Royal Caribbean International to announce that it is basing a third ship at the port in the winter of 2014-15, as the cruise line tests the waters for expanded service from Brevard County's seaport" http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2013/05/02/royal-caribbean-port-canaveral/2129169/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy116 Posted May 17, 2013 #16 Share Posted May 17, 2013 We were on the Navigator last year in the Med. Did Liberty already replace Navigator in the Med or is there to be another change. They currently have Liberty and Legend doing the Med. Changes there too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They currently have Liberty and Legend doing the Med. Changes there too??? I believe they are pulling 2 ships from Europe starting in 2014 because of the softening market conditions. Only 7 ships there next Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish6 Posted May 17, 2013 #18 Share Posted May 17, 2013 On Royal Caribbean's FB page you saw this? It is a cruise group that I am on for Facebook not Royal Caribbean. I will try and copy/paste the itinerary that was posted there yesterday.....I hope it works. I would love to go on this repositioning cruise but I can't pull my kiddies from school for 2 weeks :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted May 17, 2013 #19 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Terrific news – I would love a third RCCL option from Port Canaveral – that is only a 7 hour drive for us. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF_Knight Posted May 17, 2013 #21 Share Posted May 17, 2013 According to the latest refurb schedule from Royal Caribbean, Explorer is set for drydock in February 2015. With this re-positioning schedule, though, I could certainly see a 2 week drydock in Freeport starting November 15 and then a return to start cruising from Port Canaveral. I would think they'd want to have her fixed up before sailing from her new port to make a good impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted May 17, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I do not find this itn on the RCCL website for the Explorer. Any idea on the pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillB48 Posted May 17, 2013 #23 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You're right RCI has not listed it on their website. If past experience is any guide it will not be any bargain basement price. In the past any of the repositioning cruises from the Northeast to Florida in the fall have been on the pricey side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet angel Posted May 17, 2013 #24 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Interesting thread. Love Explorer and live in FL now, so that would be great news. Unless, of course, being in Port Canaveral means higher prices as with Freedom. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
