Towel Critter Posted September 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2018 For this exercise, please post YOUR dream Caribbean cruise of three to eight nights. Keep your itinerary at least somewhat realistic. Do not post a seven night cruise from Galveston to Belize, Bermuda, and St. Lucia, for example. Feel free to include departure port, cabin type and location, ship, and CD. Carnival only, please, since this is a Carnival board. One last "rule." You are paying for this cruise at 2018 cruise rates, so everyone, please, do not automatically choose a grand suite. Stretch your budget a little bit if you want. I'll get'er started. Length of cruise: Eight nights Ship: Miracle or any Conquest class ship Cabin: Balcony (I'm good with a balcony, don't need a suite) Location: Verandah or Lido, mid-ship or aft, near an elevator, but not right at one Departure Port: New Orleans CD: don't care, any decent one Saturday: New Orleans Sunday: Sea Day Monday: San Juan Tuesday: Sea Day Wednesday: Curacao Thursday: Aruba Friday: Sea Day Saturday: Sea Day Sunday: New Orleans note* I would prefer to not have two sea says in a row, but could not manage this with the three ports of call I wanted to include. Part of the fun in this little exercise is in trying to figure out what might be possible and what isn't, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted September 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I would take that cruise, but can they make San Juan in one day from new orleans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted September 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2018 My choice would be an 8 day Southern Caribbean cruise in a Cloud 9 Spa balcony cabin on a Dream class ship from any port in Florida that can handle ships that large. The cruise would include magic shows, Dana Tyson’s juggling show, and Patrick Duffy in the piano bar, along with the usual comedy shows, musical bands, violin trios, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towel Critter Posted September 30, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I would take that cruise, but can they make San Juan in one day from new orleans?Not sure. I wondered about that, but since it would be a full day and almost a half day, it might be doable. Maybe with a late morning or early afternoon arrival?

Rare Saint Greg Posted September 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Dream Class ship...preferably Magic since I haven’t been on it yet. Second Breeze, third Dream. Lido deck room. I’m good with an inside or a walkway view but if I have money to blow in this exercise throw in a balcony. Sunday: New Orleans Monday: Sea Tuesday: Havana Wednesday: San Juan Thursday: St. Martin Friday: Aruba Saturday: Sea Sunday: Sea Monday: New Orleans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted September 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I love Aruba it is my most favorite island but since I go there for two weeks every July, I rather skip the island and go to others. I prefer one of the newer larger ships but for the islands I want to go not sure they can accommodate a very large ship so the Breeze would be perfect or any of the Dream class ships and I certainly prefer 8 night cruises. 1- Ft. Lauderdale 2- At Sea 3- At Sea 4- Antigua 5- Guadeloupe 6- At Sea 7- Turks and Caicos 8- At Sea Ft. Lauderdale I am tossing on this one also: 1- Port Canaveral 2- At Sea 3- St. Georges, Bermuda 4- Hamilton, Bermuda 5- At Sea 6- At Sea 7- Grand Turk 8- At Sea Port Canaveral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallivanting Souls Posted October 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Not sure it is possible or how to figure out.

Rare Tapi Posted October 4, 2018 #16 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Not sure it is possible or how to figure out. Ft Lauderdale Sea Granada Dominica Bonaire Curacao Sea Ft Lauderdale Ft. Lauderdale to Granada is roughly 1,600 nautical miles. You’ll probably need closer to 3 sea days to get there. Curaçao back to Ft Lauderdale is about 1,300 nm so at least 2 and 1/2 sea days for the return. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted October 4, 2018 #19 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Towel Critter- Well, you have to add another island, two islands won't be enough for majority of the people so I considered the distance and time from Bermuda and added Grand Turk instead of that awful Nassau that most people are so tired going to. I was going to add Charlston, South Carolina but unsure whether that size ship would fit in the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
