  1. Not the home to the newest RCL ship either. It is going to China is May and will not leave there for almost 2 years. Simple reason $$$$$$$$$$. China and the people who are developing the cruise industry paid big bucks to have the ship work out of Hong Kong and Singapore. The Quantum of the Sea was over a Billion. So he who put up the money to reduce that loan the fastest wins the prize.
    The laws in US also cause big problems as they have to sail to foreign port before coming back to US. Also with all the people is US on cruise ships and $$ spent why none built here. More things in this country need to change before that happens. It called cutting off your nose to spite your face. Talk to the Unions. No ships are built in US unless for US military and other than Coast Guard they have stopped buying.

  2. Gregory. You need to be patient. The information keeps coming. After the time it spend in Europe it is coming to New York. The final home port is to be announced later.

  3. SO DISAPPOINTED that the #1 cruise market in the world, the U.S. won’t be
    the home of the newest gladdest Carnival ship.

    • I could ask the same question, about New Orleans. Its simple as long as people keep getting on Magic, Triumph and other one they are bring. That’s what you will get. Some were along the line places like Galveston have to step up and say enough enough. Start raising docking fees then offer big discount for 5.0 rated ships. Also need to get state legislator to change the liquor laws for the consumption and serving of liquor on cruise ships in Texas waters. Galveston is in a good position to do it. PC, FT, Miami are almost at the point they do not have space for anymore ships. So time to get the hard ball out.
      Have to be able to say good or none.
