MrPete Posted February 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2013 First class change I think since the Glory first came to town, unless you include the Dream's pitstop when she came to town. It's gonna be a race of time between her and the Breakaway, and based on what itinerary Splendor offers, which I have not even looked at yet. However, ports are second to me when I explore a "new" ship. Yet, the call of Bermuda is loud and clear. The wait may be over...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted February 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am sailing on the Splendor on June 2, the new NCL Breakaway is out of my price range for now due to the new ship price increase :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We considered it for our next cruise but decided to stay with the Pride because she stops in Port Canaveral and our son wants to visit SeaWorld on the cruise (the tradition in our house is that the HS Senior that year picks where we go for April vacation). DW and I will be keeping the Splendor in mind, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishnyc Posted February 5, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are sailing on the Splendor this summer because Breakaway, while the itinerary is way more preferable for us, was too expensive. Our Splendor itinerary is Nassau (yuck to me), Grand Turks, and HMC (which makes up for how much I hate Nassau). There are other itineraries offered as well (San Juan, St. Thomas), but that is the one that worked with our available dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburdan Posted February 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are sailing Splendor June 2nd to San Juan, St Thomas and Grand Turk. 8 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrin Posted February 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are sailing the Splendor 8 day as well in late July. The prices are ridiculous.. but compared to a 7day out of Florida PLUS flights, we decided this was the way to go. HMC was the selling point for us. If it was just Nassau and Grand Turk, we would have sailed out of Florida. I am looking forward to going on a new ship for us! Catrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy32465 Posted February 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are sailing the Splendor May 25th and June 2nd. Nice to see a new ship in NYC. Sad to see the Miracle leave though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusandgidgetsmom Posted February 5, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are sailing the Splendor in June. The price was too good to pass up. The 8 day was not much more than the 5 day on Fascination so we grabbed it. We love HMC, but undortunately have to go to Nassau to get to it. Oh well another ship day!

cv322 Posted February 5, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are sailing the Splendor May 25th and June 2nd. Nice to see a new ship in NYC. Sad to see the Miracle leave though. I agree. :(. I'll be taking one last cruise on her before she goes....had to do it lol. But I'm booked on the Splendor for June 2nd, & am quite excited about exploring a new ship! I'm also hoping all her propulsion issues are resolved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samzgirl84 Posted February 5, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2013 DH and I are booked on the Splendor going to Bermuda for April 16th. We are super excited as we will be spending a couple of days on Long Island visiting our DD and DS-I-L before our cruise. Plus new ship and new itinerary for us! Much to look forward to!

popsec Posted February 5, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We've been on the Miracle many times out of NY so are pleased to see a "new to us" ship taking her place. We're booked on the May 1 cruise and are also looking at either Sept 6 or Sept 22nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyChappy Posted February 5, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are on the 10th June sailing. Only choose this because it allowed us to spend a couple of days in NYC either side of the cruise. Cant wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPete Posted February 5, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Theres plenty of cruise ships come into Greenock during the summer. What 0/3? 3 visits to Greenock/ 0 ships. We stay primarily in Stirling, so it's a bit of a trip just to see a ship. And I tried a summer visit there once. Didn't care that it never got dark dark! :D "Sunrise" at 3 AM was painful!

maggieworkman Posted February 5, 2013 #23 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are going on the June 18th sailing. We are driving this time instead of flying to Florida! What is the deal with the Splendor dry dock and/or 2.0 upgrades?? Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSpo Posted February 5, 2013 #25 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I booked the Splendor - Jan 20, 2014 Port Canaveral, Nassau and Freeport sailing. It is a year away but I could not pass up the good pricing for an 8 day cruise and it fit into my travel dates. I am more of a ship person so the overalll cruise/ship experience is more important to me than the ports. I will probably rent a car at Port Canaveral explore the area. In the Bahamas, I will visit the hotels and the beaches. I live on Long Island so being able to cruise out of NYC and avoid a plane trip can't be beat. You also can't beat sailing out of NYC and seeing the Statue of Liberty and sailing under the Verazzano Bridge. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
