I absolutely love the current Southern route out of San Juan (best cruise I have been on!), but I would love to see them add an additional itinerary or 2 out of San Juan for some variety, while continuing to do the current one as well. With at least one other itinerary this would make doing a back to back AWESOME!! So my itineraries for San Juan would look something like this:

Itinerary A (currently offered)

1- San Juan

2- St. Thomas

3- Sea Day

4- Barbados

5- St. Lucia

6- St. Kitts

7- St. Maarten

Deb- San Juan

Itinerary B

1- San Juan

2- Sea Day

3- Aruba (overnight)

4- Aruba

5- Bonaire

6- Curacao

7- Sea Day

Deb- San Juan

Itinerary C

1- San Juan

2- St. Croix

3- Sea Day

4- St. Vincent

5- Dominica

6- Sea Day

7- Tortola

Deb- San Juan

And then alternate them something like this:

A-B-A-C-B

 

That way you could do a back to back, or even a back to back to back without ever repeating a port. The only thing that would be eliminated from this plan would be boarding in Barbados, since the ship would not be stopping there each week, but I would imagine that would not be a huge loss.

LOVE this idea;)

[joeyancho]

This was the best cruise we ever went on

 

I agree, that cruise was amazing. Best ports ever.

[MISSSNOOPYGIRL]

I'd bring back the Costa Rica, Belize, Panama 8 night itinerary

 

I'm upset I didn't get to try this one!

[LMaxwell]

I'd like to see a Bermuda run from Florida. RCI is trying out 3 of those but they are 10 day with Nassau, CocoCay, and Charleston <?>. Too long, not interesting ports.

 

If Carnival did a 7 or 8 day Bermuda run (they can throw in a stop at HMC or not) from Florida I'd strongly consider booking. I'd love to go to Bermuda but don't want to fly to do so. Agree with some of the overnight stops as well.

[Manatee Mom]

from Ft Lauderdale

1 Half moon

2 Tortola

3 St Kitts

What they need to really facilitate this

is TWO SHIPS home-ported in San Juan -instead of a dozen ships out of Fla! :cool:

 

This could tie in somehow with my earlier proposal to home-port a ship in Barbados

and really sew-up the entire Caribbean area!

Go back to Europe. We just came back from the med and transatlantic on the sunshine and need to go back. Preferably with carnival.

[MiffyLynx]

Would love to go back to Europe -Want Paris, Ireland, Scotland......

 

I do not cruise when they have an overnight in a port. Don't see the point of a cruise if you don't wake up someplace different everyday.

 

Also love cruises with only 1 sea day :)

I would only consider certain cruise if they had an overnight in port. So many places start to look the same until you have at least a few days, not hours, to explore. I would go back to Europe to spend an entire month exploring Italy.

Hi jwalk03

I definitely agree with your idea. Southern Caribbean Tri- Cruises. This certainly works for us. If only the Beards read this idea. Here's Hoping

[SMSACE6]

I would like to see an 8 day eastern itinerary that goes to St Martin, San Juan, St Kitts, and St Croix.

 

For the western route I would like to see Carnival go back to Costa Rica, so my fave western route would be Grand Cayman, or Cozumel, (or Costa Maya ), and Limon Costa Rica, and Roatan. Again an 8 day would be my pref.

:)

[Mysticks1]

I would like to see another ship sailing from Mobile and alternating itineraries on the 5 day to include Costa Maya and drop Progresso altogether. I would also like to see something including a port in Cuba when that is opened up for cruises.

[Samm116]

I would love for carnival to go back to costa Rico and limon, panama. Our camera broke on this trip and we have no pictures from it.

[Aplmac]

I would also like to see something including a port in Cuba when that is opened up for cruises.

Cuba is something like 900 miles long, East to West!

so it would be entirely feasible to do two, maybe even three stops at Cuba

along its extraordinary length --including the big Isle of Pines/Youth

just off its South-Western coast.

B2B

 

1st leg - 8 days

Miami/Ft Lauderdale

- St Maarten

- Barbados

- Aruba

- Curacao

Miami/Ft Lauderdale

 

2'nd leg - 8 days

Miami/Ft Lauderdale

- Dominican Republic (private island, not La Romana)

- Tortola

- Anguilla

- St Maarten

Miami/Ft Lauderdale

 

Almost what the Miracle used to do in the Caribbean, I'd cruise this itinerary B2B every year if it was offered.

[Phlybice]

If you were the creator of itineraries for Carnival what itineraries would you create?

 

These itineraries can be for any homeport or for any ship!

 

Bermuda. Three days in port.

 

~STOP~

[lady_cruiser]

Leave from New Orleans and head for the U.S. Virgin Islands even if it means spending several extra days on a cruise.

[Mjsturg1]

I would like to see a seven day cruise from Baltimore that always includes Half Moon Cay and then had two proper Caribbean destinations - NOT something in Florida and NOT in the Bahamas.

 

I agree with that I just hope they return to Baltimore after they get the scrubbers on the ships !!
