Splendor Around the Horn - Are You Booking?

[WestchesterCruiseFan]

I found this wonderful voyage report that those who are booking might find very interesting. Here's the link:

It's both a description and photos of a cruise around the Horn on Royal Princess back in 1998.

I have a question - does anyone know if these sailings will be open to South American residents? I'm hoping so, I think it will add that much more to the experience to have an international passenger mix!

Oh yes, Im sure quite a few will be on the 1st and 3rd segments.

 

When I was on Destiny there were a large group of SA pax. I think some were from Columbia,Venezuela and Brazil. So some SA residents already know about the "Fun Ship" experience.

Count us in! All three segments - has roll call been started?

[Nick Needs To Know]

Ok, I started roll call for ALL segments - this roll call is for anyone who will take one, two or even all three segments of the South American cruises.

Just joined roll call even though we won't officially book until later this week.

 

Speaking of which, does anyone know how this is being handled - the booking process? Will we need to place deposits for each of the segments or just one deposit for all segments :confused:

 

It doesn't matter - just trying to be as prepared as possible

Just had my TA check on the South America cruises, as of 9:00 am (Eastern Time) on Monday, July 9th - they aren't in the reservations system yet. Hopefully they really will be there on Tuesday...

[Nick Needs To Know]

Glad to see some familiar faces joining us :D For those who haven't already please come over to roll call and introduce yourselves!

Has anyone priced the airfare thru Carnival? Sometimes on the open jaw flights the cruise lines can do better than booking independently, plus they usually have someone at the airport to greet you and transfer you.

Airfare for the second leg, Round the Horn, from Chicago to Buenos Aires and back from Santiago to Chicago is quoted as $ 1419.00 per person from Carnival. Haven't looked online yet for other comparisons.

Please advise what you think of $$$.

Nick,

 

You've been missed on the Salsas 49ers Splendor roll call.

 

Will you still be sailing it?

Wow I really wish I could do this.... I would choose the middle segment, if not all three.

 

Funny true storey about a voyage arround the Horn a long time ago. In 1967 passengers lined up and paid ( went to a charity ) to sit in one of two double decker buses lashed to the deck of the original Queen Mary so they could say they "went arround the Horn in a London Bus". One Passenger jumped into the indoor swimming pool so he could say "I swam arrond the Horn" .....

 

I breathlessly fallowed a blog called "jack at sea" about a passenger on the Queen Mary 2 in 2006 going around the Horn.

 

Hope you all have a great time. My guess is the average age of the passengers on this will be a bit higher due to the length of the cruise / segments...

 

Tom in Long Beach Looking forward to seeing the Splendor from the Queen Mary in March 09.
