Thats interesting, I wonder if Serena does that with Costa and maybe Magica and Fortuna go to Carnival. I wonder if it will do something next summer, December is still a year out.

Does anyone know what time the naming ceremony will be on November 20 in Miami?

The points of these are to reduce food waste and not use as much plastic

It is good that the bottled water costs more because then people won't buy it as much, and less plastic water bottles being thrown away will be saving the Environment. I know some people don't care about the environment or a cleaner world for future generations.

Around April? Could also start in March, Venezia's last Costa cruise ends December 1 or 4 or something. Also might be worth mentioning this ship wasn't purchased, it will be transferred. Carnival owns Costa, so Carnival Corp owns the Costa ships. They just switch which cruise line it will be operating under.

You could switch to Celebration, it still is to go to San Juan, I don't think they will change it because San Juan is in the middle of the cruise, where Mardi Gras had it first. They can't take Celebration out of San Juan without messing up the rest of the cruise. There are also lots of other options, but why not switch to Celebration?

I did a favorite class poll in Carnival boards, thought it would be neat to compare it to Costa because there are the same ship classes.

During a interview with John Heald, Christine Duffy said that Venezia's cruises will be available for booking on November 14, the first one will be a transatlantic from Barcelona to NYC! It will be in New York year round!

Elation and Paradise can stay in the fleet for awhile

I think Sunshine will remain pretty long; it also wouldn't make sense to bring Magica/Fortuna that doesn't have all the refurbishments that Sunshine got in 2013. By that I mean it wouldn't make sense for Magica/Fortuna to REPLACE Sunshine, Magica probably will switch to Carnival maybe with Serena

Celebration isn't taking over any of Horizon's cruises. Horizon will do the same 6+8 Eastern + Western Caribbean while Celebration will do 7 Day Eastern + Western

wrong link It seems that Venezia will take over Magic's summer NYC cruises, and Magic will stay in Norfolk for the summer

Yes there are mini fridges

Carnival Legend and Enchantment of the Seas from Baltimore

Yes, Pride is coming back! I figured out why: Legend needs a dry dock in April 2024. Transatlantics to Europe happen in April. If Pride was to do Europe, then Pride and Legend would be crossing the ocean at the same time. (Legend without passengers) So then Carnival saw that it makes more sense for Legend to do the Europe cruises since Legend will be there already for the dry dock. It saves fuel and makes more sense. So Pride will be in Baltimore for the 2024 summer and Legend in Europe for summer 2024. Legend will return to Baltimore in the fall of 2024 because Pride's Baltimore cruises are only scheduled through October. Legend would be back in early November, so it lines up. Summary: Pride: Baltimore summer, back to Tampa in fall Legend: Europe summer, dry dock early summer, back to Baltimore in fall.

In this article: https://www.cruisehive.com/port-provides-update-on-why-carnival-cruise-ship-is-pulling-out/85884 San Juan said that Mardi Gras won't call because of fuel costs. At the end of the article, San Juan said that Carnival told them that Mardi Gras might switch to shorter 3+4 day cruises, closer to Port Canaveral. This gave me ideas. What if Mardi Gras will take Liberty's place, Liberty takes Panorama's place (low bookings on Panorama right?) and Panorama does 7 days from Port Canaveral. Alternately, Firenze could take Panorama's spot, Panorama to Mardi Gras, Mardi Gras to Liberty, and Liberty to a high demand area. Firenze could do exotic cruises to like South America or something to open something new for Carnival. Of course, Mardi Gras and Liberty could just switch

see above post

Pickleball was added to Carnival Conquest during her recent dry dock

Pickleball was added to Carnival Conquest during her recent dry dock. Conquest sails 3+4 day cruises from Miami

I as well would hate the abandonment of Baltimore

I had no idea about that, how did you find out?

And why is it your favorite?

Yes, it has a mini fridge

On Carnival's booking engine is Turku, Finland: (bottom left) If I select that, then it says there are no cruises. But with that still selected, if I go to ships...... Celebration!?! What could this mean?
