  1. Carnival won't be sending ant "big" ships to the West coast until the Panama Canal expansion is completed. WAY WAY too costly to have to sail them all the way around the tip of South America.

     

    I agree that one of the larger ones won't be going to the west coast but not due to the expense in sailing around South America. They did that in the last couple of years in three legs. Many passengers sailed all three.

  2. By the way if anyone is looking for ways to travel/visit to the UK > Spain or the other way round during their Vista holiday there are now high speed trains that go directly from London to Barcelona in less that 9 hours (stopping in Paris).For us cruise types theres also the longer scenic way which involves Brittany 'cruise ferries' (Portsmouth/Plymouth UK to Santander/Bilbao Spain) then a 8 hour train to Barcelona from port and a 2 hour train to London.

     

    My Spanish friend takes these routes to see her family and loves it. She especially likes the mini overnight cruises between the UK and Spain.

     

    I'll be in the UK prior to the transatlantic. Looking at some mock one-ways from Newcastle to Barcelona for $143. I'm sure it can't be any higher direct from London.
