What’s up with that? She just left Long Beach and I see she’s coming back in fall of 2019.

 

Am I late on news or something ��?

 

Edit: I just saw what’s going on. Seems Splendor doing a Repo cruise to Asia in October 2019 and that’s when the Miracle will take over Splendor itineraries until Panorama comes in December 2019?

 

 

Carnival Cruise Line To Offer Three Exciting Longer Length Carnival Journeys Sailings In 2019, Including 24-Day Trans-Pacific Crossing, 13-Day Panama Canal Transit And 14-Day Hawaii Cruise

 

As Carnival Cruise Line continues to expand its itinerary offerings, the company today announced that it will offer three special longer length Carnival Journeys cruises in 2019.

The voyages include a unique 24-day trans-Pacific crossing aboard Carnival Splendor from Long Beach to Singapore, as well as two voyages aboard Carnival Miracle – a 13-day Panama Canal transit from Tampa to Long Beach and a 14-day Hawaii cruise round-trip from Long Beach.

The 24-day voyage is the longest single departure in Carnival Cruise Line’s history and marks the first time that the line will visit Guam, Vietnam and Malaysia on a North American departure.

In addition to visiting some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, guests sailing on Carnival Journeys cruises enjoy unique on-board activities during which they can sample local cuisine and enjoy entertainment and cultural opportunities within the various ports of call. Activities focusing on topics such as photography, cooking, arts and crafts and celestial navigation, along with a 1980s-themed “Throwback Sea Day,” are also offered.

“We’re delighted to expand upon our itinerary choices with these three exciting Carnival Journeys, including an unforgettable 24-day voyage trans-Pacific transit featuring our first-ever calls to spectacular ports in the Far East,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

24-Day Transpacific Crossing on Carnival Splendor

The 3,012-passenger Carnival Splendor will operate an unprecedented 24-day trans-Pacific crossing that will depart Long Beach, Calif., on Oct. 5 and arrive in Singapore Oct. 30, 2019.

The voyage will feature extended port calls at Maui and Honolulu, Hawaii, before crossing the International Date Line, then visit Guam, and Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – the first time the line has visited these destinations on a ship departing from North America. On this fantastic seagoing adventure guests can visit ancient temples and other centuries-old landmarks and attractions and immerse themselves in Far East culture.

The 24-day voyage will also offer a traditional ceremony held when mariners cross the International Date Line which essentially adds an extra day to the cruise.

13-day Panama Canal, 14-Day Hawaii Carnival Journeys Cruises

Carnival Miracle will operate a 13-day Carnival Journeys Panama Canal transit that will depart Tampa Sept. 29 and arrive in Long Beach Oct. 12, 2019, positioning the vessel for a series of seven- and 14-day cruises from that port.

The 13-day cruise will include an overnight stay in Cartagena, Colombia; prior to the Panama Canal transit followed by calls at Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala; and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, all home to magnificent architecture and unforgettable shopping, dining and cultural experiences.

Carnival Miracle will operate a 14-day Carnival Journeys cruise to Hawaii round-trip from Long Beach Oct. 19 to Nov. 2, 2019, featuring stops at four breathtaking destinations within the Aloha State – Maui, Honolulu, Kona and Hilo – along with a call at Ensenada, Mexico. On this cruise, guests can enjoy world-class beaches, savor local cuisine, explore the lush Hawaiian countryside and get an “up close and personal look” at colorful Polynesian culture.

The ship will also offer a series of seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises from Long Beach beginning Oct. 12, 2019. The week-long voyages visit Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, all home to gorgeous white-sand beaches, excellent snorkeling and a variety of water sports.

Good to know...my son loves the Miracle although I don't think we would be able to sail during school.

 

I checked October 12, 2019 and found that there is a Journey cruise from San Pedro to Tampa (15 days) for the Carnival Legend. At least it's not at Long Beach. I can't imagine 2 Carnival ships boarding at the same time. It will be a mad house.

Just a guess, but if the Legend is moving to Tampa and the Miracle is moving back to the west coast, I would think the Miracle will be sent to the dry dock in Portland, Oregon like the Legend did and will replace her on the Hawaii, Alaska and maybe Australian cruises.

The Miracle will then move back to the East Coast after her run in San Diego, she will be moved to Miami.

The last dry dock for Miracle was in March 2015, so the sailing from San Diego to Miami likely gets her in position for a March 2020 dry dock in Freeport.

 

Still no word on the 2020 Alaska season. The rest of the fleet has scheduled sailings through the end of April 2020, so if it’s a ship other than Miracle, it may be hard to reposition another ship to Seattle without canceling existing bookings - although sending Pride to Seattle and Miracle to Baltimore would be the easiest substitution. Pride then spends the other eight months in San Diego.

 

I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Miracle head back west in April, then head up to Seattle.

DH and I love the Miracle and hate to see her leave Tampa, where we live only 45 minutes away. However, we have also sailed on the Legend and will welcome her to Tampa so there will still be 7 day Carnival cruises out of that port.

We are booked on the Legend from San Pedro to Tampa. The Miracle is docking at Long Beach on the same day we depart. We looked at the Miracle crossing also and decided on the Legend.

 

Yes, if the two ships were at Long Beach, then it would be a mess.
