swscruiser Posted April 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Do not see any sailings on Carnival website for the Breeze between the last Miami sailing and the first Galveston Sailing. Anyone have any ideas? TIA Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcookie Posted April 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I believe its being dead headed to Galveston. Are you in logistics? Not many people use that term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not a bad trade, but it does seem an odd choice to send the flagship (well, the second flagship, after this summer) to Galveston. I think they get a fare premium on cruises out of Galveston, though, so it probably makes sense from a bean-counting perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 7 million people within a 3 hour drive. While it does have some destination issues (as in lack of due to logistics), moving the Breeze there was not a mistake.

Looking at Carnival's financials, I rarely doubt the wisdom of their bean-counters. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCraig Posted April 5, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) 6.5 million people just in the Houston Metro. Almost 7 million in the Dallas metro area. Then add Austin-San Antonio and other areas along with the great economy in Texas. No brainer for Carnival. Then you have the west coast folks who fly in Houston because it is cheaper and a shorter flight as well. They have smart bean counters indeed. Cruises are more pricier out of Texas because they know they can get the fare. Supply and demand. With that said, really looking forward to the Breeze coming to Galveston along with the Liberty and the Freedom. Miami gets the Vista soon and hoping to catch a ride on that one in 2017.
