Harmony OTS: Repositioning Cruise from Miami to Galveston

[Btank]

Harmony will be leaving SFL in late October and standing up in Galveston.  Does RCL normally offer cruises like this as a repositioning cruise, or do they just deadhead over and use the time for maintenance?  Yes, I know it's US to US... but I wouldn't complain if they stopped somewhere on the way. 😁

It will be a non revenue cruise. 

 

The problem is that in order to meet PVSA requirements they would have to visit a distant foreign port, the closest of which is Aruba so it's easier and more profitable to sail empty for 3 days and get started on her regular itineraries.

I was hoping that either Nassau or Cozumel would meet that requirement.  Oh well...

 

Thx for the quick reply!      --bruce T.
