gtonda Posted July 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Woke up to use the rest room a few minutes ago (TMI, I know) and decided to check my email. Noticed an email from Carnival with only an attachment labeled "important information". Anytime I have ever gotten one of these it's always been less than stellar news. This time it's great news, for me at least. Apparently Magic is taking over 5 day cruises for the Triumph in 2015 so Triumph can take on new itineraries. I hope it's staying in Galveston. Anyway, we are now on the Magic, which rocks! On top of that, they are turning our 5 day into a 6 day, with a stop in Costa Maya. I'll take it! I'm going to attempt to attach picture of the letter.

gtonda Posted July 16, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Just an FYI, the system is still allowing you to book the original 5 day itinerary online, so they haven't even switched it over in the rez system yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted July 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2014 What dates? We are booked on the Magic 7 days in June. Are they changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hightownCO Posted July 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Interesting to me because a 6 night intin. usually means an alternating 8 night. I'd be interested to know what that 8 night route would be. Magic is on a list of possibles for me but really dislike the ports of call (Key West, Freeport, Nassau). Wondering if an 8 night could get to better ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambKnuckles Posted July 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Oooo... Now I have to go see which ones and what's happening with our 7 day in September... Is it still on the MAGIC??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babsee101 Posted July 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I wish I could see the letter. Love to see Carnival switch it up a bit! Edited July 16, 2014 by babsee101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picomullet Posted July 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2014 We have 2 cruises for 2015. Sure wish I knew which dates?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karessamom Posted July 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well maybe??--just went to carnival's site and it was posted on April 7th that Triumph was going to be doing 11 day cruises to SanJuan out of Galveston starting the end of Oct 2015 and into first part of Jan 2016--now I don't know if that's what they are talking about or not--says nothing about the Magic though but maybe the Magic will be taking on Triumphs normal itinerary during those cruises?? or this maybe something entirely different??

This is what I am thinking. Triumph doing some 7 days and longer Oct 2015-Jan 16. Think I will call my PVP. 6 day in the fall of 2015 sounds great!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADD Boy Posted July 16, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Maybe they will run it like the Breeze out of Miami, with alternating six day/eight day, but I don't know if that extra day would allow it to get anywhere new. Grand Turk or DR maybe? Everything else is too far East. Past time Cuba becomes a US tourist destination again, my Canadian friends love it.

chewie139 Posted July 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If your on the Magic now, how are you doing a 5 day, now 6, cruise? I thought all they did was 7 day cruises now? Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted July 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) What dates? We are booked on the Magic 7 days in June. Are they changing? I saw the same letter in my E-mail this morning. Our sailing is on February 23rd. We love the Magic but this would have been our first time sailing on the Triumph and for my 66th :eek: birthday too. But I am still on a Carnival cruise for my birthday so its a win-win situation. Edited July 16, 2014 by lady_cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babsee101 Posted July 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Two people in one of my cruise groups (on FB) posted that it is just for the Feb 14 and Feb 24, 2015 sailings. Edited July 16, 2014 by babsee101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picomullet Posted July 16, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The Freedom was suppose to do the 6 day Feb 15 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted July 16, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I can only hope that I can get the same deck I booked on the Triumph. Edited July 16, 2014 by lady_cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtonda Posted July 16, 2014 Author #18 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sorry, forgot to mention sail date. Our sail date is March 9th, 2015. For those that said they wish they could see the letter, is it not pulling up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picomullet Posted July 16, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Letter too small to read.. Thanks for posting info tho. Thought Magic was in dry dock then. It will be interesting to see what is happening. Would like a 6 day on Magic but not in March. We avoid spring break!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 16, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So it makes me wonder if this is filling in for the one way's that Triumph currently has or new and additional ones not yet scheduled (I know I could go look but alas, I am to lazy).:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastootie Posted July 16, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I am also on the March 9 sailing and got my email this morning. I'm super excited since I've never been on the Magic. The extra day and port is a bonus too! We really got lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Posted July 16, 2014 #25 Share Posted July 16, 2014 How about a complementary, alternating 8 day cruise to the real Eastern Caribbean-that would be lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
