It's hard to take a website seriously when the article is littered with spelling and grammatical errors, as well as a posting date of October 13th. Today's the 12th...

Depends where you are. It's after 1pm on the 13th here in sunny Australia :)

Lol, they are based in Ohio, USA. I made sure before posting :)

that date is mostly like their server time. Their server can be around in the world or the timezone on the server is not set correctly. As a system administrator for many years, timezone settings are often overlooked until the wrong date shows up in any error logs

Send the Miracle so maybe we get the Splendor back to LB.

seany527, ncl announced today they are putting a new boat in China also....and rccl is sending their new boat there in 2017 and there are several more cruise ships home porting there. I read this article today on flip board travel.

Wonder how well they will do with the recent economic issues over there.

If I read the article correctly (basically just skimmed it), it's Carnival Corporation who is sending the ships, not Carnival Cruise Line.

Looks like the 6 ships will be from both Costa and Princess, but not Carnival Cruise Line itself.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw where Carnival (as well as Aida) also is in the mix for 2017

You can watch the interview on Bloomberg TV

They are sending Miracle in 2017

And that is why she didn't get guys...

How about a ship that hasn't been here before?

Wonder why Carnival Corporations president will announce it during an interview, instead of holding a press conference to confirm it. Although I did see the interview too. He says Miracle is going to China. Starts about 1:10 in

If they bring Splendor to Long Beach, are they going to have to remove the port of Kauai from the Hawaii itinerary? I don't think Splendor can dock there.

I've heard "one new ship each" one from Carnival one from AIDA

Miracle must have a large casino...

Count on them converting several existing bars/lounges into high roller rooms.

The Sapphire Princess is now in Asia. We were on one of her last cruises here. She got different slots, high end shops (think Rodeo Drive), interactive TV, etc.

Wonder what they'll do to the Miracle?

That's because Mr Darnold just issued the press release in China, where it is already Oct 13. Look at the stock news site seeking alpha and you will find the full article, Carnival and Aida brands sending a ship in 2017. Exact ships to be announced soon.

Maybe she'll get a Gai's ...

CCL's CEO has said he expects the Far East to become CCL's most profitable area. He says he is devoting at least 40% of his time to the Far East business, anticipating high end shopping and gambling to be the main drivers of profitability.

The interview was on the Travel Channel about a year or more before the recent stock market plunge there.

Some of my most enjoyable Love Boat episodes are those that take the ship to the Far East. I always figured if I was to explore that part of the world, that would be the way to do it.

I wonder if they will simply relocate one of the 2 Spirit class ships seasonally to test those waters.

the cruise critic article and cruise radio article both say that both AIDA and Carnival ships will be new. So does that mean they are sending miracle until VISTA 2 is done?

Interesting to say the least. Like everyone else they are following the money. Two years is a long time tho.......

Never thought CCL would go there. Fun ships doesn't seem like a Chinese thing.
