Arizona cruisers Posted February 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I got a call from my PVP this afternoon that the Valor is going to San Juan for the S. Caribbean route. When I looked on 'Manage My Cruises' our 3/10/2013 Valor trip has been removed. John Heald mentioned on facebook that there would be several announcements about ships coming out tomorrow. Perhaps the Victory will be moved to Tampa? Oh well...I am now looking for a different cruise...perhaps Panama Canal Miracle repo. Some very interesting and different itineraries in the works. Anyone else getting calls or seeing cruises disappear when you log in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaParrotHead Posted February 16, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2012 OOOOoooo. Interesting. I might actually consider doing the southern now that Victory is out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapearl Posted February 16, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I asked on John Heald's Facebook last night if the Destiny would still be going into dry dock next year, and he said to check his page again tomorrow for an announcement. I don't know if that will be about it's dry dock or a possible relocation or both...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball027 Posted February 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any idea when the Valor is relocating? I booked the Jan 13/2013 sailing a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be okay...check with your TA or PVP. Carnival is going to be calling folks starting tomorrow. I think my PVP said February, but I am not 100% on that.

KirkWN737 Posted February 16, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well that should be nice. I'd like to go on the Victory again if she comes to Florida. Sent from my iPhone 4S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrenalineRush Posted February 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It might just be a straight swap...Victory to Miami...Valor to San Juan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona cruisers Posted February 16, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Tune in tomorrow...John Heald should be making the big announcement. The Breeze will be going to Miami however, so something needs to replace the Legend in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 16, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Legend is only moving for the summer. I still very much doubt it will be replaced for such a short period. We will see, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencercoop Posted February 16, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You may be right. John said that there will be an announcement about 3 ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it doubtful she will be replaced. Florida has so many ships, so from Carnival standpoint it makes sense to move capacity from Florida to help drive up the price of the remaining ships.

According to John there is no plans to replace the Legend during the summer. But here is one thing I do not understand. There are cutting summer 7 day cruises out of LA and Tampa and there is till a Fantasy class ship there doing shorter cruises. So why not in LA do a 3/4/3/4/7 and repeat or a 3/4/3/4/7/7 and repeat schedule on the Inspiration during the summer. And in Tampa do a 4/5/5/7 and repeat or a 4/5/5/7/7 and repeat schedule on the Paradise during the summer. It would still give people the chance to do 7 day cruises during the summer.

Maybe they will.. They tried to do 7 day cruises out of Jax with a Fascination and had to scrap them due to poor bookings. I really think they make a killing on per day revenue on the shorter cruises. People feel like their time is limited to they live it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sailing must have been a fluke since we ended up in the floating retirment home. :p As far as the Valor - do I remember that a few years back the Valor was in San Juan? Before the Victory moved there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday, Fascination, Jubilee and Destiny have sailed out of SJ, Valor would be the largest ship Carnival has ever had in SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencercoop Posted February 16, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes, it appears that last Victory cruise is Jan 20, 2013 But they haven't taken down any of the Valor's cruises yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to worry about the Liberty moving to Tampa, because she won't fit under the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
