txskier Posted April 19, 2008 #258 Share Posted April 19, 2008 ...OK, looks like we have enough for the maiden Bubba Cruise If we can sell out for another couple of sailings....looks like we will have to invest in a second vessel:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn1950 Posted April 19, 2008 #259 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I too keep watching this thread with interest.. My DH and I were just discussing booking the Conquest for the eastern cruise next Sept.[2009] Now, dang it, I am still watching the Bay Port news to see what ship is coming.. I am now a bronze member with NCL so I am more than curious if NCL could be coming.. But we throughly enjoyed both the Conquest and Ecstasy.. I am signed up at the MSC sight and they seem to have very good pricing.. Decisions, decisions:) I wonder if who ever comes will start off with lower fares to start off the new port. Or if the pricing will be high, knowing we are all waiting..LOL We are 3 hours from the cruise ports so we enjoy sailing from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetexas Posted April 19, 2008 #260 Share Posted April 19, 2008 you are lucky to be only 3 hours- we are 6 from galveston, and would give anything to have a new cruise port in houston. even though i have convinced myself that after cruising from this port a couple of times i will want to go further. we cruised the rhaposdy and it was great. we are doing the msc orchestra in march 2009. we are really exicted, but am dreading the flight. we used to fly everywhere- just for weekends- but now with the prices skyrocketed we are saving!!! let's just hope upon hope we get a cruise ship here- i don't understand the prob-- when the ships were here- where they not full i ask you??? of couse they were!!!

Snoozeman Posted April 19, 2008 #261 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I hear the bubba buffet is durn right good on BCL. I think MSC would be great and my 1st choice if we can't get Bubba Cruise Lines. I think 2010 would be the soonest for MSC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie1 Posted April 19, 2008 #262 Share Posted April 19, 2008 As I can't fly anymore, I like having ports in driving distance. A friend and I are driving to NO this Weds. to get on the Fantasy, and that's do able for us. Catching a ship out of Houston would be great. I personally can't wait for the BCL to launch. I too have heard great things about the buffett (pronounced as spelled) Peaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Kat Posted April 19, 2008 #263 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I hear the bubba buffet is durn right good on BCL... ... I too have heard great things about the buffett (pronounced as spelled)... Y'all got that right! I hear there is plenty of chicken fried steaks with cream gravy, pan fried pork chops & ham steaks with sawmill gravy, mashed or fried 'taters, grilled tender aged steaks, fried catfish, shrimp & oysters (in corn meal, not some sort of batter), corn dogs, BBQ'd chicken, pork & beef, 'tater salad, beans, etc. Gourmet or "heart healthy" food? We don't need no stinkin' gourmet or "heart healthy" food! Entertainment: Lots of live country music everywhere with plenty of Texas two-step, cotton-eyed Joe or line dancin' as well as the ever popular cold beer drinkin'. On TV, there is NASCAR, football, rodeos and fishin' or huntin' shows. Dress Code: Formal - Country or Western Chic (Fringe makers and bedazlers everywhere will be workin' lots of overtime!) Casual - Dukes of Hazard Chic (Can those words be in the same sentence?) , I am not trying to "put down" any of the BCL cruiser-types 'cause I is one! Happily sittin' here listenin' to my softly playin' country music in the background and catchin' up on my tapes of Paula's Home Cooking shows (Yes... I use lots of butter in everything I cook too!), Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetexas Posted April 26, 2008 #267 Share Posted April 26, 2008 y'all are so funny-- being a true Texan I love the jokes-- if we had another ship outta Texas and even if it looked like that we would still take it-- right now I'm fixin to make some eggs--;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozeman Posted April 26, 2008 #268 Share Posted April 26, 2008 BCL will bring back and combine two former popular cruise activities: skeet shooting & kite flying. Of course on BCL it will be "Kite shootin" every afternoon on Lido deck aft.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Kat Posted April 26, 2008 #269 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Click here http://www.cruise-community.com/ShowStory.asp?ID=14099 for the 04/22/08 Seatrade Insider news article. If you haven't already, you will need to register to read their articles. Sorry, but only a brief mention of Voyager OTS sailing from Galveston December of next year. Nothing about Bayport.

Snoozeman Posted April 26, 2008 #270 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah, RCI committed five years in Galveston when they made the Voyager deal. This was year one. Good to see the 2010 dates though. Should be 2011 and 2012 as well in the future. Of course we were supposed to have a 2nd ship too.:rolleyes: Best chance still MSC and NCL IMHO. MSC has several new ships coming out and they would be something new and different for Galveston. They may not be bubba enough (seriously-since they don't cater to the masses), but I'll book it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradiego Posted May 4, 2008 #272 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Can't wait for BCL to come to Houston! LOL. I live in Southwest Houston and I can't wait for the new Bayport terminal to open and see which line will be going out of there. Does anyone have any pics of the new Bayport terminal?

They may not be bubba enough (seriously-since they don't cater to the masses), but I'll book it.:) I am in complete agreement with you on NCL being the most likely in Bayport but I don't see an MSC ship sailing from here. MSC caters to Europeans, even sailings from Ft. Lauderdale are majority Europeans. Sailing from Houston doesn't make much sense to me at this time considering the weak dollar and the size of the MSC fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
