Carnival Spirit to Sail From Brisbane Year-Round

Yeah, the guy at La Barca gives me a high five now.:p

i can relate to that Mic :cool:

Year-round in NZ unlikely -- not a big enough cruising population to support it.

Carnival Legend is based in Melbourne in 2019: https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=8377

Then Melbourne gets Carnival Spirit in the 2019/2020 summer. You'll also have Cunard's Queen Elizabeth there too: https://www.cruisecritic..au/news/news.cfm?ID=8410

Pretty sure CCL will make a big deal about changing the name to Splendour. I, for one, could not stand writing about anything with American spelling! My job is all about getting Americanisms OUT of Cruise Critic :D

Carnival has announced that Santo will be a regular stop once Spirit is in Brisbane
