Question - Is Celebrity coming to the new RC terminal in Galveston?

7-night cruises can only make it to the Western Caribbean because it's at least one sea day to sail through the Gulf and another to get back. 5-night cruises can make it to a Mexico stop in Cozumel or Costa Maya.  I bet it would be hard to fill a ship consistently making those types of trips, especially with the existing competition from there.

 

I doubt they would have any trouble at all filling ships at their going rates.  More likely, the issue is whether that full ship still sails for more profit somewhere else.

 

If X sailed out of Galveston, I'd probably be sailing out of there every 2 or 3 months.  The terminal is an hour from my bed.

With Celebrity apparently pulling out of west coast Mexico cruises from Los Angeles next year profitability of sailing from other places trumps out.

As one who has taken several RCCL cruises out of Galveston over the years, would love for Celebrity to come. But agree with many of you that the chance of that happening are very low.
