Ladysilver Posted April 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Is anyone booking the Liberty from Galveston yet? I want to, but I'm still hoping those outrageous prices come down. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehillcruiser Posted April 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Our Nov Navigator cruise is 2 to 3 times less than the posted Liberty cruises. I e mailed RC to ask what the deal is . I am not holding my breath. So this will probably be our last cruise after a bunch of them and we are switching to all inclusive resorts for a change. They must think we all see the Liberty as something special, but not us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted April 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Our E2 on the hump is secured for 2016.:D But we also are casting about so to speak. We plan a land vacation to the Hawaiian islands next year then Liberty but we are not purchasing a next cruise on Allure or Liberty....going to play it by ear!

Cindy Posted April 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I thought the upcoming Navigator prices were too high.:rolleyes: Then I looked at Liberty!:eek: So...I'm flying to Florida for a week on the Oasis for less than a week on the Navigator, and I'm driving to New Orleans in March (that's been booked for a while), but I have nothing lined up out of Galveston for the first time since 2005.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger2008 Posted April 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I just compared the Allure (April 17, 2016); Freedom (March 13, 2016) and Liberty (April 24, 2016) and they have the following prices for a D2 Allure - $2,966 Freedom - $2,338 Liberty - $2,405 The Freedom is $67 cheaper; HOWEVER, flying to Florida from Houston (roughly $800 - $1,000); hotel $250 (and up); car rental $100; meals, misc. $150 + By my calculations we can save a WHOLE LOTTA money by sailing out of Galveston :) About $1,500 in savings and that will pay for the pet sitter, booze on board and maybe even a t-shirt or two :D Edited April 29, 2014 by Charger2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, a GS on the Oasis the week before Thanksgiving was a whopping $2800 less for the two of us than a GS on the Navigator the same week. $2800 buys a lot of airfare and hotel!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehillcruiser Posted April 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi. On website I use it shows the Nov 13th cruise as being a 4 day to Cozumel only...Where did you see a nine day ? Thanks. I want to book the Liberty out of Galveston for the 9 day on Nov 13 I will watch the rates and see if price goes down Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaofwonder Posted April 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I won't be booking until they release some new itineraries. Which likely means I'll never be booking out of Galveston lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovinthesea89 Posted April 29, 2014 #16 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I have my eye on one in April 2016, but prices are way too high. Fingers crossed they go down in the near future! Until then my NCC will keep staring me in the face screaming "use me!" Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzin lady Posted April 29, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Liberty for April 17 & 24, 2016, as well as 2 B2B's on Navi in 2015, but we are checking twice a day for price reductions. Surely the 2016 prices will come down if people aren't booking. Just because we booked at a high price, doesn't mean we won't cancel before final pay.

FloGaleRNTX Posted April 29, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I simply cannot believe the prices; however, I would still book for the convenience of sailing out of Galveston (I live in DFW). The ship itself is a bit different, since it has those cantilevered pools.....love those. I'm Obsessive Compulsive and watch for price drops every day, so I would go ahead and book, but then look for better prices. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted April 29, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Yep that's our plan too.....just wanted that cabin....will adjust as we go along.

We'll most likely go ahead and book something, even at those crazy prices. After that, check prices everyday and call if there's a price drop. I REALLY want to cruise on the Liberty! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinthesea89 Posted April 29, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I was reading on a different thread that prices seem to be pretty high across all ships/itineraries. One theory was that there maybe a sale coming? At any rate, I may breakdown here soon and just book it. The itch is soooo strong! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The itch is soooo strong! :p I hear ya; we're booked for March 2015 out of NOLA but want to book out of Galveston in 2016. I keep watching and watching and watching. And the booking price doesn't mean that much; prices change. I regret not buying a NCC or whatever they are calling it today! I like the reduced deposit.

Sat1 Posted April 30, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 30, 2014 That very well could be. NOS sails Nov 9, return 16th. Have read she is moving to China (?) and a Freedom ship will replace her in Galveston. So perhaps Liberty will remain in GVS. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
