I'm guessing Harmony goes back to Port Everglades during the summer, with Port Canaveral getting Oasis as a port of call only and not an embarkation point.

 

I thought Harmony was going to PC year round.

I have seen 8 night cruises to ABC from Florida.  It starts with 2 sea days, then one island each day, then 2 sea days back.  But it’s either Voyager class or Radiance class, never a Freedom class.

I was told last week on Anthem that starting summer 2020, she will be doing summers out of UK and winters out of Bayonne.

I think she’ll stay. She’s been commanding good prices out of Canaveral.

I thought Oasis couldn't fit under the bridge. I'm on the Ta from Southampton Nov '20. I was hoping to do a B2B

It will be interesting to see what prices they can command from NJ in the summer.

Anthem and Indy in Southampton. Just wonder when they will follow Princess and do a 12 British Isles round trip. They virtually sail full all summer

Correct, as far as Galveston is concerned.

 

From what I read, the new terminal will not be complete until Fall 2021.

Are we only going to have Enchantment during the summer of 2020 in Galveston?

Is Liberty going somewhere?

Hopefully, not. I don't see anything after April 2020 for Liberty. If Enchantment is already ready for bookings for the summer, why wouldn't Liberty be also?

They have only released 3 ships itineraries for short Caribbean.  More will be released tomorrow.

Any guess when, or just keep looking through out the day on the RC site. 😉😱

People have started reporting itineraries late afternoon/early evening.  I think it was actually midnight before they could be booked.  

 

Going to be a a late night.

Enchantment was released last week with "Short Caribbean" cruises, longer yr round ones like Liberty  have not yet, maybe tomorrow. Usually Caribbean cruises are released in 3 or 4 sets, Seasonal Caribbean is usually last...

I feel that when comparing same class of ships, NJ cruises tend to be higher than FL.

 

I know it's an apple-to-oranges comparison as the itineraries are different but since NJ tends to be more of a drive-up port, RCI prices the cruises higher knowing many people are not spending on airfare. 

 

There have been times in the past when sailing out of FL would be cheaper (slightly) than NJ even with airfare & one-night hotel stay included.

Lot of Variables, some Apples to Apples and some not. I've seen lot of Sailings way more expensive in Florida, more so with the newer ships. North East Hotels near ports are double what I pay for same in FLL/MIA area. I Cruise out of both every yr and stay 2 nites in Florida for less then been spending for one nite in northern Ports. Agree with you on the lack of travel cost if living near NJ or Boston, but usually doesn't cost me much in Airfare MI to either those Port's or FLL is really cheap. But if was fly from AZ it's more then double the cost.
