Ken at the beach Posted October 15, 2023 #551 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, gallagher123123 said: For the Northeast deployment, I see four ships, assuming Odyssey, Symphony and Liberty are for Cape Liberty, and Vision for Baltimore? Is Boston not getting a ship in fall 2025? Seems odd that nothing is listed, but maybe it's just not announced? I know for 2023 and 2024, Boston is getting the ship from Tampa, Serenade and Grandeur. Not sure they really consider that as part of North east since it is only for a short time. Not sure where that fits in Edited October 15, 2023 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or like with Repo's and Panama Canal's they can be inc with others or even an extra release Date not even listed until later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami and Ft Lauderdale are close together. You might be able to get ships on the same day. An online search shows they are 30 minutes apart so perhaps use that hotel money towards a driver or taxi? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing just that, getting off Wonder in Orlando, boarding Symphony same day in Miami (great pricing on Symphony suite we couldn’t pass up) in early 2025. I personally wouldn’t recommend it without having a car with you in the garage at the first between sailings. We plan to walk off in Orlando and drive straight to Miami. As Biker mentioned, there is Brightline. By the time you would sail, people here will have reported how it worked out for them. 🙂 It could be possible for you, adding in time traveling to and from train stations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you obviously don't mind the drive, sounds like fun! I'm an hour from PC and won't even drive down south for a single cruise, lol. Just personal preference of course. 15 minutes ago, barbeyg said: As Biker mentioned, there is Brightline.

Brightline sounds like a huge hassle to me, but again, there's personal preference involved. I'm sure it will be appealing to others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal and Celebrity are the only 2 not open yet. Me too. Looking to rebook favorite Seward to Seward B2B again. Last one was cancelled due to Covid. We still flew out there, but stayed in a log cabin in Homer for that 2 week time period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted October 15, 2023 #562 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think I may get lucky with boarding Wonder on the 29th, since supposedly the Alaska 2025 season comes up for booking that week...or at least that is the schedule posted. Next cruise, sign me up. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got off Odyssey in FLL and took the courtesy transfer to Miami for the Grandeur. We had our UDP times all booked by 12. Transfer went to Miami airport first and then Oasis for approx 10 passengers before dropping us two off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd have to be a bucket list type cruise, or just a price we couldn't pass up, to sail a vision class ship. Granted, we did have a bucket list cruise (Panama Canal) and a price we couldn't pass up (out of Tampa) that later got canceled for non-covid reasons.

cruisin from florida Posted October 16, 2023 #571 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Just booked Ovation Honolulu to Vancouver on 4/29/25. Has that been out there for a while and I missed it?

Prices are still near what that were for a plain balcony when I booked it months ago so don't feel like you missed out on a better rate. I've been watching it, scored a very small price drop in June and it's held that rate since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting for long Caribbean; those are the most interesting (to me) leaving from NJ. The Bahamas and Bermuda are the primary options out of NJ, otherwise. Looks like the Northeast & long cruises won't be out until Mid-late February. Boohoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they normally released in the Nov/Dec timeframe? I thought so, too. Very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
