LEtue Posted January 2, 2015 #26 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Further speculation on the 7/7/14 Civitavecchia schedule leads me to wonder about doing alternating Western and Eastern Med and then a combined 14 night. This would let people who can't take as much time off work or want to combine sea/land travel do a 7 night voyage. People who want to cover more on sea or are doing that one special trip could do the longer voyage. We shall see in 3 weeks ;) Okay, you have my attention again. I am planning to do a land/sea vacation in 2016 and leaving from Rome or Venice works best :) Do we know that the announcemnet on the 22nd will include itineraries? Hope so!

belkin Posted January 2, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The itineraries are supposed to be announced during the press conference Jan 22 - Jan 24. Hoping for the 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that they announce itineraries but nothing has been confirmed that I know about. If they do announce I hope we can begin booking the next Monday! We are very interested in a possible 14 day. We have actually ruled out the Norwegian Spirit as our runner up. Both kids didn't like that there were only 2 sea days to break up all of the long port days. They both want to go to Istanbul but not at the expense of pool time! They were willing to give it up for more sea days so we will look at Royal if Vista doesn't meet our needs.

crzndeb Posted January 2, 2015 #30 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I know I'm anxiously awaiting the itineraries, along with several cruising friends. I know I will do the TA, and quite possibly 1 or 2 prior, depending if it does different cities. I have a feeling there will be a lot of familiar faces and screen names that I haven't met on these cruises. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted January 2, 2015 #31 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Awesome work! Yes that's the only Vista scheduled stop there in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherbelle Posted January 2, 2015 #32 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just been through my school holiday dates, this is what we know. Vista Tuesday 12/07/16 Rome 2 weeks Tuesday 26/07/16 Rome 1 week Tuesday 02/08/16 Rome 1 week Tuesday 09/08/16 Rome 13 nights Monday 22/08/16 Rome 8 nights Tuesday 30/08/16 Rome Port of Gibraltar Sun 23 Oct 16, 08:00 Carnival Vista Looking at this I will be on the 09/08/16 ship if your guess about the Rome being the departure port. Although Tuesday does seem to be a strange day of the week for a cruise departure, unless they are taking a lead from RCL and offering a choice, Rome or BCN anyone have a link to BCN cruise schedules?

trvlgirlmq Posted January 2, 2015 Author #33 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Heather - I've been checking Barcelona but they don't have 2016 loaded yet. http://www.portdebarcelona.cat/web/port-dels-negocis/cruceros1 I thought Tuesday was weird as well. It's all pure speculation on my part at this point though! Our school holidays are earlier so we plan on the June 14 departure that "appears" to be a 14 night voyage.

Rome schedule is: Wednesday May 11 Tuesday May 17 Tuesday May 31 Tuesday June 7 Tuesday June 14 Tuesday June 28 Tuesday July 5 I think Heather covers the rest of July and August in her post.

John I was wondering if you could tell us what kind of information for the Vista will be released at the press conferences in NY? Renderings, itineraries....? We will be sailing on the Breeze 1/17 so guess I will have to stay tuned onboard. Hope they have the new social media plan. John Heald everything, all of the above and more so stay tuned Mary and I will for sure keep you informed live from the event and I will make sure the CD on the ship shares the information. cheers Unlike · Reply · 1 · December 30, 2014 at 11:15am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the dates! My grandson will be graduating on June 3, 2016 so I have to work around that. I'm don't like the idea of cruising on one of the first few sailings and there is always the possibility of changes/cancellations with new ships. So I may have to look at September/October.

trvlgirlmq Posted January 3, 2015 Author #40 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I wish we could take advantage of the OBC offered for onboard booking but I don't want to wait until May to book. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalGee64 Posted January 4, 2015 #45 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I know I'm anxiously awaiting the itineraries, along with several cruising friends.

Debbie Well, Lex and I will be seeing you there, Deb - at least for the TA, and quite possibly the last Med run as well. Keen to see if they are structuring the TA to include a Caribbean stop or two on the tail end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug97 Posted January 4, 2015 #46 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I am SOOOOO Very Excited and don't know if I will make it until the 22nd! We've sailed with CCL twice in the Med. and both were Amazing experiences so I absolutely cannot wait to see if we will get to cruise on the Vista...In the Mediterranean!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is pretty certain that she will sail the med as she is showing up in the Rome port schedule weekly starting in May. We will be on the Breeze on the 22nd and hoping we can book while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely be a reunion cruise for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAZA0208 Posted January 4, 2015 #49 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any guesses where Vista will be sailing from - Barcelona? Rome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgirlmq Posted January 4, 2015 Author #50 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any guesses where Vista will be sailing from - Barcelona? Rome? We won't know anything really until the media event that begins 22 January. My personal prediction is Rome based on the 7/7/14 cycle between stops there.
