St. Barts

[schreibs]

I read that St. Barts is a new destination for RCCL. Does anyone know what ships will now stop at St. Barts and what destination will it replace?

They should add St. Barts to the Mariners eastern route and take that extra day at sea off but they might need that extra day in order to get back to Port Canaveral.

The mariner is too large to dock or tender in St. Barths. I think it will be the Empress that will stop in St. Barths. The Horizon stops there now.

Oh my Goodness, I've just found my dream cruise.....

Now, I just need to figure out how to pay for it, and how to get my husband an extra two weeks vacation. :)

Does anyone remember downtown St. Barts before the hurricane came through years ago? I remember tendering into the port while they were under construction downtown. While it basically looks the same, just seeing all the construction, temporary dirt roads on the side of the cliff, was something else.:confused:
