Is Splendor coming back to Long Beach?

[InTheWASide]

Can't help but notice John Heald posted lots of pictures of Cabo today, specifically all had Splendor in the photo. There was also an individual post asking if people have been on Splendor before. And he has, from time to time, used photos and random posts to hint at things like this.

 

Could this be a hint that Splendor is coming back? If so that seems like it would also mean another round of South America cruises.

 

Thoughts?

It is most likely coming back. I mean, can you imagine how people would feel if he posted all those hints and then the Splendor DIDN'T come back to Long Beach?

Splendor is scheduled to be in Hawaii in October and December 2017 http://files.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dobor/commercial/cruiseships/kailuakona-17f.pdf

 

so yes there is a possibility it is.

[JLee1973]

I would say it is a strong possibility. The Miracle is scheduled for it's last MR cruise on Oct 8 2016.

She also making a stop in Hawaii January 2017, so Miracle maybe going to Australia. Who knows :confused::confused:

Don't know but was told by PVP that was the last sailing. I love the Miracle and will hate to see her go.

Splendor is a great ship. Would be wonderful to have her back on the West Coast. Hopefully there will be a 2.0 drydock before that time?

 

Anyone know? when Splendor is scheduled?

[JGB]

Next splendor dry dock?

Good point, that is the only way I can see that they would do that. I do have to say, I would think they would put a Conquest class ship there (that has had Fun 2.0 there instead of the Splendor).

As of Feb 2015 the expansion project was 86% complete. At the end of March the project was at 87.5%.

I think we have a big chance of Splendor coming back. Those pictures he posted were HUGE HINTS, so I think we have around an 85-90% chance of Splendor coming back! I'm super excited, I cannot wait to be sailing her to the Mexican Riviera. And then today John posted about Carnival Miracle as well. He did the same thing with pictures of miracle and the question "Carnival Miracle..have you sailed on her?" #BringSplendorBackHome

Not a fan of the Splendor..I would rather have a Spirit class.

Me, too.

I have been on the Splendor 3 times and the Miracle twice. Overall I like the Miracle better due to design of the ship and less people on it. Plus the Splendor doesn't have the awesome " bowling alley " balconies I have come to love so much.

[Alexv500]

You guys are all scaring me now because everyone seems to like Miracle better. I like bigger ships like Splendor, I love the Splendor's pool. Recently went on the Ruby Princess a few weeks ago and loved the layout of the ship, and it was bigger than the Miracle. Ironically, we sailed right next to Miracle on the first sea day!

[seannyice81]

Makes me wonder if Miracle will be doing Tampa.

[Jimmy Geegitz]

I hope so. Send that tub back to the West coast.

LOL, you are always so gentle in your comments....

The Spirit class is probably the favorite here (on cruise critic) but that does not take anything away from the Splendor (we have sailed her three times). My only comment was that the Splendor has already done a tour on the west coast and maybe a Conquest class ship would be a "new" ship for the west coast.

If Splendor goes out west what ship will replace her in NY :confused::confused::confused:

[Maraprince]

I would like to know the answer to that too!:confused:

 

Hearing rumors of Sunshine...based upon comments, don't think that this ship is anywhere close to the Miracle, Splendor or even the Triumph, Legend that NYC has known.

Not a big fan either. Sailed her twice out of Long Beach and had major problems on both.

We just want the Cloud back, and all of her amenities!
