Sure wish one of them was gonna stop at Costa Maya. Would be really nice to go back there. But, guess that's not in the cards.

The amenities are the same for either ship And dolores has cabins on hold!!

Important note:

The length of this poll has been SHORTENED by one day. It will now close on April 29 instead of April 30.

This is because RCL has announced an increase in the fuel supplement charge for anyone making a reservation beginning 5-01 and thereafter. This will give anyone who wants to do so a chance to book this cruise BEFORE the increased supplement goes into effect.

I voted, just in case I change my mind. I'm not too keen about vacationing in October.

Shacoya · 04-23-2008, 04:14 AM

HI!

Umm, what's the point of these two choices? Same Cruise line, same itinerary, different Florida Port. Is it mostly the actual date in October that we are choosing? Or are the two ships very different?

I may just be able to plan this next one for me and my hubby. But, as far as I can see I might as well toss a coin to choose.

Maybe I'm just lacking the alert necessary brain cells at the moment.

~ Goodnight, sweet dreams.

Hey Shacoya

You are correct...the difference is in which port city to leave from and which date. You would fly into Orlando for the Port Canaveral departure and into Miami for the Miami departure.

All the other aspects of this cruise were voted on in various other polls...
the destination (western Caribbean)
the month (October)
the duration (7 days)
the cruise line (Royal Caribbean)

Then yesterday , after the cruise line came out with ithe Caribbean schedules that met the criteria for the above, this poll was put up with the choices. They happen to be cruiseing out of 2 different Florida ports (about 4-5 hours driving distance from each other) and have the exact same itinerary (which is unusual)!

LOL Hi Trina, if you check back here in polls, the members have already picked RC,, western itinerary, in October, 09 for our next group cruise!! We were waiting for the fall of 09 to be released and it was yesterday, and this is what came up for what the members voted for!!

Sue, the prices for the Freedom end in .55 for the change....sorry for any confusion.... I did all the stuff by the pool yesterday and had a tough time hearing the lady...

The prices are essentially the same on both ships and dates too..
