Charles4515 Posted September 3, 2014 #26 Share Posted September 3, 2014 We cruised out of Norfolk several times and it was hassle-free and so much easier than dealing with the northern Virginia traffic. I like NoVA, but the traffic up there is nerve-wracking. There really needs to be a media campaign to get more cruise ships back to Norfolk. I work in public broadcasting - maybe I can think of something to get the ball rolling. You an even take Amtrak to Norfolk now. Norfolk would be a sane homeport for cruise ships. Solomons island is not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RCCL Fan Posted September 3, 2014 #27 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I've never understood why Norfolk hasn't worked as a cruise port. Only thing I could see is Balto is closer to bigger metro areas. But talk about a beautiful multi million dollar facility, a fun, cool city for pre/post cruise, and simple /quick access to the ocean. It doesn't make any sense. RCI/Celeb have been the only lines to base a ship there. Sailing weekly out of there, They dropped it. but no one else has even looked at it, and it's such a great port. Then again I don't understand why Carnival does so well in Nola and RCI doesn't. Weird weird weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
