Has anyone heard any thing else about Houston?
We were at a Christmas party Friday night and one of the folks there is the construction projects manager for Bayport.

He said he hadn't heard for sure yet which lines will be contracted to sail from there.

They are looking at whether the lines will continue to reposition away from Europe and spend more time in this part of the world. If it looks like there will be more sailings locally they are looking at either a new bigger building or a few additional smaller ones to accommodate the crowd.

He did mention the plans to have a Margaritaville nearby and some additional lodgings and eateries.

He had a magazine with a pic of Conquest in port and boy how small the port looked relative to the ship!
