New RCCL SHip coming to Galveston ..maybe next year???

[tugboat]

I don't see this happening unless they do some major dredging at the Galveston cruise terminal. I don't even think they can accommodate Radiance class ships here.

Strange, some people were right and some were wrong, just see what happens in a week.

Dang,your right...guess we will have to settle for the Voyager :D

 

(its all in fun eric)

Ohhh, This is not the time to joke about this. This news has me less than pleased. Once again RCI sticks it to us on the west coast.

[mohavemommy]

Oh please send a Radiance class to the West Coast!

Voyager is coming to Galveston! Rhapsody is going to N.O.!!

 

Yeah!!!! Now I can cruise and save airfare!!!!! More cruises!!!! :D

Keep in mind that this is only a theory...I haven't got my tape measure out!

 

I am in Galveston a lot, and have also looked at past and future docking schedules published by the port. Conquest & Grand Princess (the two current "biggies") have always docked at terminal #1. If a ship is at terminal #1, then the turning area in fron of terminal #1 is blocked by the ship that is docked...the second ship must sail past it and turn in front of terminal #2 to dock there. Terminal #2 (the default RCI/Celebrity) sits directly across from an oil rig that has been there for years, and effectively reduces the turning radius in front of terminal #2.

 

The depth is ok, and the turning radius at #1 is ok, but RCI uses #2, and it's turning radius is smaller...maybe?

Nope--and the Grand is at Terminal two a lot. That's where I boarded her in January.

I would miss the Rhapsody, but I bet I would get used to the Voyager (or whatever) out of Galveston.:)

Someone has to be the 1st to sail from Corpus. Wouldn't it be great to have the Rhapsody there. Probably dreaming!:rolleyes: It would probably be NCL, afterall thay started it with the Texaribbeans.

Voyager is coming to Galveston! Rhapsody is going to N.O.!!

 

Is that true or is that just a prediction?

[Nitra]

It is true.. sigh.. but RH will only be gone for most of the year, back here in summer months..
