brepri_h Posted Sunday at 10:17 AM #1 Share Posted Sunday at 10:17 AM Hello! Just got off the Venezia and am wondering when the 2026 schedule might open up for NYC? Does anyone know? I'm hoping they send a different ship for NYC in 2026. The Venezia was beautiful but we didn't love it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted Sunday at 02:06 PM #2 Share Posted Sunday at 02:06 PM Usually around December 2024-Febuary 2025 is when they will release the 2026 sailings. it is always about a year and half in advance i too hope they send a different ship, having sailed the venezia many times i am tired of that ship. i really miss when carnival used to rotate the ships every year or so 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseAdict218 Posted Sunday at 02:09 PM #3 Share Posted Sunday at 02:09 PM Most of the ships have scheduled posted through 2026, so should be over the next few weeks. I would expect it to be Venezia again, unless they send us back Magic, all other ships of similar size have their schedules posted besides the West Coast ones. Hopefully when the next new build comes out in 2027 they shuffle ships around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted Sunday at 02:47 PM #4 Share Posted Sunday at 02:47 PM While we only have conjecture, my guess would be the same ship, for many reasons. That said, things are a changing (like the times), the question is when. I highly doubt NYC to be a year round full time port for Carnival again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJ Posted Sunday at 03:17 PM #5 Share Posted Sunday at 03:17 PM I loved the Venezia and I loved Bermuda. But I don't cruise enough to want to repeat ships (one of the hang ups I have about the Greenland itinerary next year, because I've been on the Pride). Ports I'm mostly fine with repeating. I mean, if I lived in a port city, I would probably take a couple cruises a year on the same ship, but since I have to travel, I want to mix it up a bit. Also why I haven't reached any type of meaningful status on any line yet lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmanaCruise2 Posted Sunday at 04:44 PM #6 Share Posted Sunday at 04:44 PM Since we are closest to NYC for cruising, the bulk of our cruises have sailed from NYC. The Venezia, while very pretty, is a one and done for us. Pool deck area is too small to have enough loungers available and the deck above the pool area is too enclosed to allow for air to circulate. If it's a hot sunny and humid day in the Caribbean, it's too hot to sit up there. The buffet area is too tight and the long lines are frustrating. If a different ship is returned to NY, we will be back and sailing with Carnival again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that a new ship does tend to come to New York for a little while before heading south! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we would have gotten Mardi Gras, though a very very short season so that size ship is capable of sailing from NY. But I’d settle for Vista or if they ever swing her over this side Panorama.

Crusin Karen Posted Monday at 05:43 PM #11 Share Posted Monday at 05:43 PM Have to agree with everyone. I live in NE NJ and cruise solo now and am not comfortable driving or flying alone to another port. I have cruised Venezia 4x and am booked on #5 May, ‘25 just because she’s here! I just cruised Enchanted Princess out of Brooklyn. Shocked me not to sail CCL lol but I survived and even enjoyed it! So I’m booked on MSC Meraviglia with DS, DIL and 5 of my grands (🫣🙄🥺😵💫) out of Brooklyn and I’m trying Odyssey OTS from Bayonne too! I’d prefer to cruise CCL but it doesn’t make sense for me to go on the same ship over and over. 🤷♀️ if CCL puts another ship here I’d book it in a New York minute! 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival please give NYC another ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the child is not big enough to go on the slides- there was not a lot for them to do. The magic splash area was so much better.

jsglow Posted Wednesday at 12:04 AM #14 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:04 AM Carnival does 'dance the ships' occasionally. We actually loved Venezia but could see a scenario where perhaps Vista or Horizon replaces her for a couple seasons in NYC. That strategy does allow Carnival an opportunity of offer a differentiated Italian product in FLA year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo, just to clarify, my last 5 cruises since September ,2022 have been solo as my husband passed. We loved cruising from Manhattan because it’s a 25 minute drive to the ship but drove to Baltimore and flew to FL and San Diego too. I’m just not comfortable right now flying or driving alone so I cruise CCL from Manhattan. And since Red Hook/Brooklyn and Bayonne are close I have that option also on other cruise lines which I’m now taking advantage of since I’ve cruised Venezia so many times. 🤷♀️ I’m fortunate I have the 3 close ports I can cruise from but would love to have CCL bring in another ship! 🤞 Edited Wednesday at 01:27 AM by Crusin Karen Wrong month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
