Al Miller Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 The terminal there does not have the best reputation. but I'd be up for some more options in the mid Atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin and Boozin Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Wish this was true. This was our first port to sail from on RCL. Would love to return one day to Norfolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Maybe as a port of call, but I couldn't see it being a home port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rackham Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I wonder if it's a situation where Royal isn't planning on homeporting a ship in Norfolk yet, but is exploring their options with a limited amount of their vessels that can sail from Baltimore? So maybe Royal's made a visit and talked with people, however, there's not an immediate plan concerning the port over the next couple of years.

Margaret Mc Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 The cruise port in Norfolk is shutting down in 2024 to make improvements. Currently, Carnival Magic cruises weekly from Norfolk, May through October. Starting in 2025 Carnival Sunshine will cruise from Norfolk year round. As we live within walking distance of the port, my family (husband, daughter, two teenage grandsons) recently cruised on Magic and determined that Carnival is a one and done for us. If Royal Caribbean decided to add Norfolk as a departure port we would be very happy! SemperMom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rackham Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Wavy10 (local news station) report on the cruise terminal enhancements. Basically, the terminal was designed for being a port-of-call and the occasional embarkation/debarkation and not as a regular homeport. So enhancements are needed for Carnival to homeport a ship there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
