Rare Honolulu Blue Posted November 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Is anyone as anxious as I am for the itineraries to be posted for the Horizon? :D Yes, but not for the reasons you might think. The Horizon's first few months are likely to be spent cruising around Europe, followed by a transatlantic to New York, followed by a repositioning to its new home port (I'm betting on Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Galveston, or Port Canaveral, but they could surprise me). More interesting is that when a new home port is chosen for the Horizon, that will probably mean that one or more ships will move to a different port, and that will probably mean some nice, interesting, one-way trips. Those are the ones that interest me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmlml Posted November 19, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 19, 2016 We can't wait to hear what Horizon itinerary might be. It would be great if Galveston would be named as its new home port. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do me too, did the Liberty Repo cruise from Puerto Rico to Galveston, 12 days, got to be on the normal islands, but also got to see Tobago and Grenada, I fell in love with Grenada instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorim103 Posted November 20, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 20, 2016 A few questions for you experts: 1. When do you think the first voyage will be? 2. How long after that will the ship head to the US? I know this info is not available but I'm sure some of the experts on here have an idea! Thanks!!

fivetwoseven Posted November 20, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Are there any US ports equipped for LNG fueling that also have cruise terminals besides Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 20, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Are there any US ports equipped for LNG fueling that also have cruise terminals besides Miami? The Horizon will be "regular" fuel. The following unnamed two ships will be LNG powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our PVP says she doesn't expect bookings to open before early spring. I hope she's wrong. I believe they keep it in the vicinity of where it's built for 6 months before it heads to the US. Just in case there is an issue, and to complete any finishing touches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was stated a while back that the first sailing will be March/2018. Whether that is true won't be known for sure until itineraries come out. I would imagine the ship will head to the US in the fall of 2018, but that's just a guess also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidecat Posted November 21, 2016 #19 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Given that timeline, It may be possible to see Horizon open for booking on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I would expect March and April to be in the Mediterranean, then May to September/early October in the Baltic followed by a TA to New York, then a repo to Florida. But I guess we'll see before too long. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note7 using Tapatalk. Hey, do you smell anything burning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love2Cruz2015 Posted November 21, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If Vista opened in late January for May cruise...then late November for the Horizon in March seems plausible. Either way, I can't wait to see her itinerary....I have a March 2018 booking on another cruise...but I could cancel if the price is right and itinerary is interesting enough. Otherwise, will wait till she is stateside.....either way, I'm sailing her!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we can book her soon but not really holding my breath for a December release. Seems like we are always kept in suspense for a while. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgirlmq Posted December 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Some speculation for everyone. Horizon is still not showing up on any of the usual port schedules that have been released which is very odd. There are 3 listings for Gibraltar in May 2018 for a ship called Vista Class (yes I know those belong to other Carnival Corp lines) BUT the gross tons match what has been released for Horizon and is much larger than any of the actual Vista Class ships sailing. Also, the booking agency is the same one that did the Vista sailings. They could all be place holders until the TA is ironed out if they are going to sail her to the US for the summer season :mad: That would make a very short Med season for sure. http://www.gibraltarport.com/schedules There are rumblings from people who have sailed with JH recently that he has hemmed and hawed about a Europe season (or a full season). Ok, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
