ivanrocko Posted December 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2014 RCI, Please add new ports of call, or new itineraries. The new ships are WOW, but itineraries are always the same ... Is about time to see change... For example: USA Today reports that: Carnival Cruise Lines' new Amber Cove port of call in the Dominican Republic will be ready for guests on Oct. 6, 2015. The new port has been in the works since May 2012. It is situated on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, near Puerto Plata. Any info, or comments? Is anyone thinking like me? Ideas for RCI new ports or itineraries? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted December 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I am hearing about a new Bermuda Triangle cruise to nowhere. No just kidding. But, if it happens I am sure we will be the last to know. Sea Ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71Corvette Posted December 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yes, some more varied itineraries are desperately needed. In my opinion it doesn't necessarily need to be about creating new ports of call - just visit the ones that already exist. For instance, more stops in St. Kitts, BVI, Antigua, Martinique, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada etc. There's more to the Caribbean than the half dozen islands that 95% of RCCL cruises stop at. Some of these islands are obviously not an option for Oasis class ships but it seems Voyager class (and maybe the Freedom class) and smaller could do some of these ports. The desire to explore new islands was what led us to our first cruise on Carnival. Really hoping RCCL freshens up their itineraries. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted December 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Havana would be imteresting.:) Relatives are doing the Cuba cruise out of Jamaica on January. Can't wait to hear how it was. Advantage to living up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reney313 Posted December 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Agree. I've been wondering the same. I just read an NCL press release today regarding a new port in Belize. It sounded like a private caye... It would be nice for more varied ports, especially for the routes out of Fort Lauderdale. I'm still hoping they can get at least one or two different eastern ports for Oasis/Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Cruiser98 Posted December 16, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Here's another vote for more varied ports!! It is starting to become a struggle for me to convince the family to take RCCL cruises since they always go to the same places! I'd love to see more southern Caribbean cruises, preferably not out of San Juan. I know they currently have the JOS and AOS going to the southern Caribbean out of San Juan, but there aren't any direct flights there from where we live, and it's a struggle every time :(. Trinidad and Tobago would be fantastic or maybe Saint-Lucia, even Dominican Republic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not2old Posted December 16, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We sail Celebrity Eclipse only because the 14nt goes to wonderful ports-Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, St Kitts, St Lucia, Curacao, Aruba, etc... There should be NO REASON Royal Caribbean couldn't offer a 10, 12 or 14 nt sailing out of Florida like Celebrity does!!! Really, just how many times can you go to St Thomas, St Martin and Nassau?? Get with the program RCL!!! Too expensive to fly to San Juan but FLL and Miami are workable for most of us! Also, please put Tortola back on a ship that leaves out of Florida!! PLEASE CONSIDER THESE SUGGESTIONS! Than You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted December 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I agree. The same old east and west ports. They are offering a 9 & 10 day out of FLL on the Serenade nest year. The 9 on Dec,14, and the 10 on Dec4th. The 9 goes to Bonair, Aruba, Curacao, and Key West. I don't know what the 10 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUN33 Posted December 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We would LOVE to go to Havana. Hopefully Cuba will become accessible to Americans before we reach our personal expiration date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, please put Tortola back on a ship that leaves out of Florida!! I love the RCCL ships the most, but am itching to get to some new ports as well since I am getting "bored" with the same old ports from Florida departures. I have a couple more RCCL cruises booked, but after that I am going to start considering other lines if they offer better itineraries. I too agree that Tortola is an amazing port that I wish RCCL would visit more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted December 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think Tortola is limited for a year or so as they build a new port. How come cruises that go to ABC islands don't hit any South American continental ports? I'd even settle for Freeport on the shorty cruises just for a different town to walk around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted December 17, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wish there were cruises from Florida that would travel to Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted December 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wish there were cruises from Florida that would travel to Bermuda. 200% agreed. They did 3 this year with vision but they made it a 10 day with nassau, and only over ONE weekend. Would need two weeks off work. Totally undoable for working stiffs. Why can't they just do a 7 or 8 day to Bermuda from Florida? Would book it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted December 17, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Because they'd have to go NORTH to get to Bermuda....that's a big no-no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go north from Florida for transatlantic too. Doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNV-IT!!! Posted December 17, 2014 #23 Share Posted December 17, 2014 New ports would be great but unless rccl wants to invest on new facilities I don't see them adding many new ports. Falmouth is still costing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted December 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 17, 2014 How about staying in port a little longer, these half day stays just don't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
