Port Burnout? Carnival Announces New Destinations

[@matthinkel9653]

Great show! We just talked about this yesterday! Always venture out and try new cruise lines. Not only do you see new ports, you get new cruise experiences.

[@margaretharmon7485]

I wish they would bring back the southern Caribbean out of San Juan Puerto sailing to St Lucia, Barbados & Antigua on Carnival.

[@high-pov2670]

30+ cruises mostly out of New Orleans and Galveston. I've gone to Cozumel/Progresso or Cozumel/ Costa Maya so many times, we rarely go past the port area shops if we get off the ship at all. Sometimes, the days we don't get off are my favorite.

[@realpinoy1]

I’m on the West Coast and I really do miss taking a cruise from San Diego. I don’t know why they don’t port there anymore. San Diego is beautiful! Bring that back please! 🙏🏽

[@KenS-z6r]

I don't even get off the ship anymore in Mexico. I'm headed to Ft Lauderdale in November just to be able to go Granada and to the ABC islands!!

[@mariapereira5689]

Did the A,B,C islands last year which i really enjoyed. Tired of going to Nassau but enjoy going to Carnivals private island just for the beach. Wouldn’t mind seeing more Bermuda options for a cruise port. Or, options of St Kitts, St Lucia, St Maarten, etc.

[@loriwelln7321]

Galveston is our home port now and I am done with the same ports as well. On Jubilee now and didn’t get off at any of the ports. Yesterday in Costa Maya I think hardly no one got off the boat . The boat was so crowded it was horrible 😡

[@JenniferBravo-j2k]

Great video. You are on point. Thank you for the tips.

[@sheenajackson2596]

I feel the same way, that’s why after 10 years I’ve decided to try a different cruise ship. Sailing on the Sun Princess the end of 26. And I want to try a repositioning cruise in 27

[@coachcruise]

Omg Amber Cove is mine lol, great stuff brother

[@fasturdbucker5443]

Good morning Vietnam.

[@teresa978]

We started booking older ships and trying out other cruiselines to visit different ports. Flying to P.R next year to cruise because we are sick of going to Nassau.

[@nuclear299]

My favorite private island port is Half Moon Cay...i book that port atleast 1 time a year and get off the ship to the best family beach ever. HMC definitely beats Perfect Day everytime.

[@Dj_1ktray]

Gettin on Jubilee in October and yes I’m tired of Cozumel but I gotta see this ship

[@FrogWhizzer]

Carnival used to go to great and fun islands. It’s like they gave up on them after Covid! I’ve started going on different cruise lines to go different places. Bon voyage Carnival! I’m going to a different cruise line.

[@joeln6861]

Lines used to vary the ports by week- from San Juan, one week eastern Carib, next week western carib. Other times, different ports on the easter carib- one week the ABC islands, the next week the typical eastern (St thomas, st lucia, Barbados, Martinique,) etc. Wish they would go back to that.

[@Mrcruisefever1]

I would like to see carnival do , 8 days eastern with St Kitts , Tortola, St Martin / On Carnival Vista

[@aprilbergstrasser443]

Yes our cruise next April is ports of call that we have never been too. So excited about those ports.

[@ynkees1]

Yes, in my 15 cruises with carnival, I have been to same places because I don’t want to do more than 8 days, I don’t want to fly to California or Seattle, so I have been limited so I’ve been trying to do different ships. I don’t want to go to Alaska(I’m a warm girl) but my husband does. If I go to other places like Hawaii or Italy, my bucket list, I’ll have to go without going on a cruise. I can’t spend that many days on the ship. I did go on royal 2 times to a different place that I haven’t done with Carnival. I look at place, ship and where the home port is.

[@jasonkuhl9979]

I’m with you Derek, on the first cruise

[@nicksmith1107]

Great great take and watch brother.

[@bigguy1403]

Same here. Let's get some new places.

[@davidlodato9276]

I stopped getting off the ship years ago in Nassua, San Juan, and Cozumel. Now that I have introduced my kids to cruising, I have begun getting off again so they could see these ports. I think my next few cruises will be to the Southern Caribbean! Haven't been there in 20 years.

[@TheRecon1a]

There need to be more Caribbean ports for Carnival. I truly enjoy just cruising but having one or two ports We haven't been to would be awesome.

[@juliusgelpi7509]

Hey Derek, what is the thing you can bring on to plug your devices into? They said carnival only has a certain brand or something that you can plug in your devices extra device devices

[@MikeEMT609]

Try Long Beach. Puerto Vallarta. Cabo, Mazatlan on longer cruises. Catalina and Ensenada on shorter ones, that’s fine with us

[@aimeerogers4542]

It seems like a lot of people want to cruise the newer, bigger ships which visit the usual ports. If they're willing to try the older, smaller ships they can frequently find new ports that can't handle the bigger ships.

[@robertbowling3679]

We always cruise out of New Orleans LA, because the port is a 10 minute Uber ride from my house. We always cruise with Carnival because my wife is Platinum and I get casino offers.

[@brendamelander5942]

For my husband and I cruise for the peace of the sea.

[@johnleach7891]

I would love to cruise to Iceland. We have been to Greenland. I have been to Cozumel, Nassau, Half Moon Key and a few other numerous times. We are going to Nassau on the Carnival Pride in September and will be staying on the ship that day!

[@rdsandbo]

Only sailed to Tortola once but was one of my favorite stops. Hope to get back there again soon.

[@Allan_2002]

Have only been on one cruise and that was back in 2012. Went to Freeport, Nassau, and half moon cay out of port Canaveral. Going to Cozumel in march from Galveston. Then got one in 2026 going to half moon, Nassau, and celebration key out of Galveston. We live in Texas and it only takes about 10yrs to get to Galveston.

[@amoney108]

We don’t go past the port shop area anymore. We’ve been so many times. Out of Miami, Port Canaveral, Tampa, New Orleans, Galveston, Fort Lauderdale. I think the worst spot has become going to Amber Cove

[@bigguy1403]

We've started doing Europe and Australia, so it's all new to us. Getting tired of the Caribbean and Alaska. There is so much to see in this world why keep doing the Caribbean.

[@tamaracline1959]

Hey Derek. We are looking forward to our group cruise on the Horizon in Nov. Going to Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. Never been there before. 🚢

[@yhz2pvd]

Jubilee actually has 2, same 3 ports, but they switch the order

[@JoanBaranek]

tired of Nassau and CoCoCay; i would like to go to Aruba

[@stevemcclurg5494]

Nassau and Cozumel, OMG😮😮😮

[@debbieserwe2242]

Over Tortola and Nausau.

[@Kevbo33]

Did the Western Caribbean once on Carnival and that was enough for me. Will stick with Eastern/Southern.

[@terrymurphy9054]

Yes, I agree. We are seeing sailings for 2026 for Carnival Miracle and Legend.

[@RBrinsfield]

My husband and I have not been cruising that long but we've already been to Cozumel five times. We just got back from a 14-day cruise to Panama and had four ports of call and two of them had already been to. One of them was Cozumel and roatan. The other two we had not was a fun trip. But I truly would like to go to the Bahamas but not sure if carnival goes there.

[@JeanCarlos-lz4vd]

I'm still pretty new to cruising so I don't have port burnout yet. I'm in NJ so my home port is NYC, Carnival has longer cruises to Eastern Caribbean which is nice.

[@dustyhill5967]

We get to see Mahogany Bay for the first time on our cruise in 24 days!

[@tedrowdentheoneandonly]

We still haven't been to Jamaica yet. We booked a few cruises with them canceling Jamaica every time. We think that we aren't supposed to go there. We are looking forward to the group cruise in November with Island Time. New ship for us.

[@colby5592]

We are looking forward to a B2B but don't want the same itinerary. Good mix it up!

[@texasnurse]

We cruise from Galveston since it is about 2 hours from home. We won't fly to a port- too big a hassle. Guess we're stuck with the Caribbean.

[@AnitaThymes]

I will be on the Carnival Miracle 1/26/2025 going to Aruba! I am so excited..

[@bevshaw5871]

I’m loyal to Royal but for many reasons I cruise out of Galveston Tx. So needless to say, it’s same itinerary and ports so I don’t get off the ship anymore

[@granteckhoff8319]

great show...i wonder why cruise lines dont go to bonaire more...mostly aruba a curacao...

[@shondad]

I mostly cruise from Galveston. I am sick of going to Cozumel. I've probably been at least a dozen times and I've been to Progreso maybe 5x. I don't have to go back to either.

[@tonyahunt-smith6603]

I sail out of Galveston on Carnival only. I have sailed 12 cruises. I've been to All of their ports. I would Love something New. Sailing soon and Not getting off but only at Belize. And Yes I have been there too.

[@CPO-Snarky]

Back in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, never got burnout from pulling into Subic Bay or Hong Kong regularly. When you know, you know.

[@Jbaxter736]

Norway and Norwegian fjords: eight times There are a lot of different walking trails and a lot of different water-based activities to do, and out of everywhere I've visited in Europe, Norway is one of the most beautiful places in Europe.

[@Song-ii8vj]

I'm sailing this Jan 2025 to two new ports for me, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. I pick this cruise because of the two ports.

[@johnlesnewski3557]

Nassau to many times We love to go to bermuda

[@darrenbocox7968]

I have been to Cozumel 13 times

[@johnbolton5569]

Puerto Rico! We have been there so much don’t even bother getting off the ship

[@jwebbwa]

I need Carnival to update their shows more often. I am hoping the two Carnival cruises I have this year don’t have just repeats of everything I’ve seen multiple times. Although we are from the Seattle area we like to go out of Miami. Direct flights to FLL or MIA and convenient access to. hotels and the port.

[@marybarnum437]

So tried of. Western Caribbean from port Canaveral.. So so tired

[@autobotdiva9268]

heck we also need to embarkation ports. not sure how that works but carnival stopped charleston that was a bummer.

[@michaelsheets6851]

It was the city that stopped. Carnival had an agreement to do a multi-million dollar upgrade to the port. Then the city changed their mind and refused to let cruise ships home port there. They can only stop there now.

[@autobotdiva9268]

@@michaelsheets6851 thank goodness for the news

[@johnthyen5599]

carnival has a new stop in feb 2027 to la paz mexico out of long Beach. I love going to st john from st thomas. I'm over st maarten.

[@larryfinkel4102]

I have cruised about 15 times. I have never done the same itinerary. Too many places in the world to see

[@CoachKip12]

I'm definitely tired of Nassau. I need to go to the ABC islands.

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

I don't like the Carribbean. Only reason I would consider going again is if I got a good deal on a new ship. It's easy because PC is only a 90 min drive. Vs sitting on a plane for 12 hrs. I hate flying. But I'm booked on a 10 day Europe trip this fall

[@leroybuddy888]

Ive had enough of Costa maya. The last 3 times we have been, we stayed on the ship.

[@francissauciunas8792]

I would like Carnival to go to new ports in the Caribbean. I am tired on Nassau and Grand Turk. I will not sail on a cruise that goes to a tendered port.

[@richringler-yw9wi]

San Juan is a port I would rather just stay on the ship….. I always tell people the Caribbean will always be there and will always be the same. I’d advise people to take Mediterranean cruises. So many amazing sights to see.

[@simonsarpy538]

Cozumel- I won’t get off ship , 😂😂😂

[@facebookJason]

Cozumel is one of my favorite ports. There is so much to do right outside the port area.

[@RamonLuna-s9w]

Well instead of spending time at Mr sanchos, people should try expanding their excursions to something else

[@mrlong4269]

Love you but I feel like this was a little click bait ish for some sales.. Sure we're tired of the same Mexico stops but most of us can't afford $3000 in airfare to fly to a new country for ''new stops'' .. Sucks I got my hopes up.

[@GigiG-t9w]

Nashua, tired of that spot. Seems like every carribean cruise stops there

[@Cenlalowell]

No because i will not cruise like that. Ive been on four cruises Alaska, Caribbean, western Caribbean, and Eastern Caribbean. I refuse to go to the same ports. I also dont cruise but once every four years. I prefer getting the lay of the land in a country.

[@CS-vv7yb]

Tired of Falmouth and St. Kitts. Wish list is BVI, Antiqua, Turks, and Barbados.

[@EkoWhiskey]

Always seem to have a stop in Nassau. Worst port in the World if you ask me.

[@michaelsheets6851]

That would be Freeport.

[@genes3088]

Had enough of Jamaica & grand cayman.

[@toneybeasley2390]

COZUMEL EVERY TRIP FROM Galveston!!!!!!!!!!! don't get off anymore

[@amberanthony883]

What truly angers me is sailing the same repositioning cruise and 3/4 of the ports are swapped or passed all together. I am sick of Nassau, sick of Jamaica. Take us somewhere else. Please don’t make it a private island. I am so sick of private islands with their high port fees for nothing.

[@raymclennan5006]

I think you adhd

[@raymclennan5006]

Have

[@4daloveofcruising]

We have decided to never visit the Bahamas again. Over the last 30 yrs it has transitioned from a cultural experience to being a major city with nothing but high end stores

[@GigiG-t9w]

Nashua, tired of that spot. Seems like every carribean cruise stops there
