But they have to get their act together first. The horror stories that have come out of there recently are pretty bad. What about Philly? We're not on the Ocean. Would have to go up/down the Delaware River. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexanTwoStep Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'd personally like to see RC develop another private island/getaway somewhere on the Western Caribbean (maybe in the Costa Maya/Belize area?). I'm jealous of yall on the east coast that get to experience Coco Cay frequently! SPS, stevendom57, Rogillioville and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Philly did have a cruise terminal into the 2000s, but it dried up as ships got bigger and the city didn't want to invest to support bigger ships. Al Miller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest Cruiser Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 @TexanTwoStep Would love to see Royal buy up the Water park that hasn't reopened in Costa Maya. That would be nice.

Marga Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I would love it if RCL would develop different routes in Europe. Every year it is a repeat of the previous year. Once you've done them all twice, you are done and have to switch to a different cruiseline to see something different. For us more cruises from Europe with multiple stops in Egypt or Jordan would be great. 'Would also love to cruise to Marocco and Tunesia from Spain. jbrinkm and Mike.s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller ships vary itineraries, but the Oasis ships only fit in those select ports. I doubt you’ll ever see Tunisia with the issues there. Celebrity also has some slightly different itineraries like Malta. Might be worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch McKee Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 A destination that few know about is the San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama. I lived on one of the islands back in the 80s for a few months and the Sitmar cruise line came in about once a month. They had to tender to the island. The islands are inhabited by the native Cuna people who are very welcoming and interesting. It is one of the few places that a person can still see a culture that has not changed much in hundreds of years. No running water or electricity on the island I lived on (Carti Tupile) and very laid back. foxrunner, WAAAYTOOO and steverk 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditchdoc Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Cuba...was lucky enough to go there. The people, architecture, the food and yes, the old cars were all amazing. I still have a bottle of Havana rum from the Copa Cabana. deButler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Cuba, for sure. I know Royal doesn't seem to have any ships available to directly port there, but how about tender boats? There are handful of islands I've never seen on any itineraries I've researched; Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, and Martinique. Also, I don't see very many RC cruises that stop in the Dominican Republic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinique you can get to on the Vision or Radiance class (just not a lot of dates). DR has popped up on a lot of itineraries for the next couple years now that the port is finished… look at Odyssey, Adventure and Wonder from FL.

twangster Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 I am seeing a lot of news about the 7 states trying to negotiate water rights along the Colorado river. It seems to me if we build a Suez type canal from the Mississippi to Denver they could home port a ship in Denver AND solve the drought issues along the Colorado river. Denver gets a cruise port and the West is saved from drought. Seems like a win-win to me.

KJones Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 @twangsterThat would certainly help us here out west... but isn't the Mississippi already at a historical low? So maybe a win-win-lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
