Give us your Tired and Weak and Part Time


 Share

Recommended Posts

Port Canaveral Florida spent a lot of money for a new terminal for Royal Caribbean to depart from. Instead of Royal Caribbean sending a new ship to PC to keep there full time they are sending us some part time ships that will be tired and weak for the 2016 2017 season. The Freedom of the seas built 2006 , Rhapsody of Seas built 1997 now that a slap in the face Oasis of the seas built 2009. Port Canaveral has given RCCL a lot of customers over the years. RCCL has given a lot of money towards Ft. Lauderdale to make it rated number 1 while PC is rated 2nd in the state of Florida. While PC spent there own money to get a new RCCL ship into it's Port but instead they send PART TIME SHIP,S THAT WILL BE OLD and not updated to the latest trends. I think this sucks. If only RCCL would quit building bigger ships and more smaller ones to give to other ports instead of FT. Lauderdale all the time. I see where Carnival is ordering 9 new ships and smaller ones. I'm sure glad I sold of my RCCL stocks. Port Canaveral feels like Ellis Island NY , Lady Liberty in NY Give us your Tired and weak and part time ships.

 

Sorry if this comes as a surprise, but amazing cruise ports don't sell cruises or necessarily draw new ships. Bottom line is the lines will use the closest ports to their destinations, or to their customers, to the greatest extent possible.

 

PC allows the lines to siphon from the theme park haven that is Orlando, but that is a riskier proposition than driving the preponderance of passengers the cruise haven in South Florida.

 

Number two ain't half bad.
