mcrcruiser Posted February 18 #1 Share Posted February 18 (edited) We love Celebrity & at one time Celebrity sailed from San Diego using the Mercury back then . Now that they have increased the fleet size couldd they assign a ship to do Hawaii round trip . West Coast & Mexico sailings ? We can no longer fly to the East coast or any other port What is your opinion Edited February 18 by mcrcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted February 18 #2 Share Posted February 18 Doubtful anytime soon. They recently tried Mexican Riviera cruises and they were not popular at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted February 18 #3 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Celebrity pulled ships from this area and sent them to the Carribean. A lot of it depends upon the cartel violence down in Mexico. Try HAL. We did a HAL cruise that left from the San Diego port. San Diego is my favorite California port.

cbfb Posted February 18 #4 Share Posted February 18 Interesting. My brother did a Mexican cruise from San Pedro that stopped in SD. It would be a beautiful embarkation port! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted February 18 Author #5 Share Posted February 18 We drove to San Pedro ,LA area last March tp dp a B2B soltice cruise to Mexico . The parking at the world cruise center is the worse we encountered in any cruise port . so we will never again go there . SD is our home port & we no longer can fly so we have been sailing on Holland America but ,it is not like Celebrity we are at a very high tier with Celebrity ,We are 3 star Mariners with Holland America now . so we would prefer a Celebrity ship even the M class would be just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted February 18 #6 Share Posted February 18 Long ago we cruised Mex Riviera from San Diego on Radiance of the Seas. We had two wonderful pre cruise days exploring the ZOO, parks etc and also the Hotel Coronado area..Could have used a few more days!.. The cruise was fun..still safe enough..but we would not cruise Mex Riviera now! Safety and lawlessness prevail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun bum Posted February 18 #7 Share Posted February 18 We did the 11 night cruise on Mercury from San Diego in 2007.We have since cruised 14times with Celebrity. To date, it was by far our favorite cruise! We have the Apex booked for Feb.2025 and the Xcel for Jan.2026. Would love to have someplace warm & different to sail during the cold winter months.

Rare hcat Posted February 18 #9 Share Posted February 18 Mercury was our first, and all time fav ship..Classy vessel, crew and clientele. Perfect size, glass brass and wood.. Real T pool with therapy salts and hydro stations.. That's when cruise life was really good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo1966 Posted February 18 #11 Share Posted February 18 We sailed from san Diego just 2 or 3 years ago on millenium up the west coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJJQ Posted February 18 #12 Share Posted February 18 Years ago Celebrity did a Wine Cruise from Ensenada to Seattle! We boarded buses at the Marriott near the and were driven to Ensenada. Overnight we sailed up to San Diego and spent day there! Each port we could bring wine back to our cabin!😃 We then visited San Pedro, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Astoria, Oregon, Victoria, BC & Finally Seattle! If Celebrity did this again I would book it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. B. Posted February 19 #13 Share Posted February 19 Celebrity has some L.A. (San Pedro) Pacific Coast northbound cruises on Summit on its way to Alaska sailings in the spring. But they are one way. Maybe you could travel home by Train? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted February 19 #14 Share Posted February 19 I just looked at the Summit cruises for 2024. The pricing is very inexpensive. I do wish that they went to other places than LA and San Fran. Maybe I will just fly up to BC for a long weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted February 19 #15 Share Posted February 19 Infinity used to sail back to Hawai from San Diego. I would do that again - if they would still do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Celebrity could do a 18 day Hawaii cruise from SD round trip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovecruzin Posted February 19 #17 Share Posted February 19 All of us W Coast folks want Pacific coastal or Mexican Riviera cruises and when they have them they don't seem to sell well. In my experience lots of availability less than 60 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bEwAbG Posted February 19 #19 Share Posted February 19 OP starts a version of this same thread every few months. The answer is always the same (not likely). They were having to give away rooms during the recent seasons in the Mexican Riviera. Not a good business model when there are other destinations that sell a lot better for them.

JLMcruise Posted February 19 #20 Share Posted February 19 I wish Celebrity would do more sailings from the west coast. We enjoyed the Mexican Riviera and flying into Long Beach was a breeze. It is a lot cheaper for us to fly to the west coast rather than to Florida. I don't mind if the OP keeps bringing up the topic. Maybe if enough people speak up and request the west coast it may happen again but with other itineraries. I certainly would go for a Hawaiian round trip cruise! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think that Celebrity would need to give away as you put it for a 18 fay roumd trip Hawaii cruise .I van tell you that Holland America sells out their relaticvely new pinnancle class ship ,Koningsdam both vfor Hawaii & The 35 day Hawaii.Tahiti cruise from & back to the San Diego port . Additionally ,San Diego has a lot of infrastruture that attracks many millions of travelers .Another cruise could be round trip West Coast as far as Astoria or even Seattle . There are a lot od west coast ports that are very attractive to cruisers . Also remember that there is a heavy density population in neighboring states that people could drive vs flying to the pirt of San Diego I make a strong case for either Celebrity or a RCL ship to dock in the port of San Diego . The Disney wonder frequents the port of San Diego & Disney has far less ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted February 19 #22 Share Posted February 19 (edited) The current sailing that Celebrity has for Pacific Coast cruise is $291 pp for a 6 day cruise. That is around $50 per day. Obviously not a money maker. They could do a Hawaii cruise and that would be worthwhile. Edited February 19 by NMTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celebrity 6 night Pacific Coast cruises are on ships relocating either from the Med. to Alaska or the reverse. Like TA's the cruise is a planned trip not a destination so the price is less. I book one every year from L.A. to Vancouver as it's close to where I live, air tickets are cheap and I Love the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted February 19 Author #24 Share Posted February 19 Another possibility is San Diego round trip to the panama Canal & back to SD .There are many ports between the 2 locations bith in Mexico & Central America & could even do a partial transit of the Canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted February 19 Author #25 Share Posted February 19 Holland America not only does 17 & 18 day Hawaii cruises round trip San Diego but ,they are doing both Hawaii & Tahiti 35 day round trip San Diego .There are many possible cruise routes for a Celebrity ship in San Diego port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
