Latest news on carnival vista

You are making way too many assumptions, and this sale must all be taken with a grain of salt. The fact of the matter is that the pricing has firmed up a lot and the consumer will continue to adjust to the higher prices as they have done so already. Also, keep in mind that there will always be sales even when pricing completely recovers, that's just the nature of the beast; that'll never change.

 

At $40 a day? Surely you jest.

 

I think that's even less than what they still charge per day for their Cheers program on shorter sailings.

The anticipation is killing me! I really want to know if I should start researching other lines because with or without Carnival we are doing the Med in 2016. NCL usually releases their itineraries in December and RCCL will probably be in March so if Carnival doesn't have solid news and itineraries we will have to move on for this trip.

 

I hear what you are saying. Im waiting to book my 2016 cruise. If the Vista will be doing the Med. I will be booking on her but if not it will be on the Pride for her 14 day cruise. Wish they would hurry up.

$40/day would not include taxes and fees and as I mentioned, shipboard spending is up. When your ships are paid for, you don't have to charge an arm and a leg.

 

But $40 is by no means all sailings or even most sailings. I wish.

Everyone I've talked with at Carnival is thinking the same. You'll have to budget more than $40/day for those.

How is that relevant to Vista? Or Carnival's bottom line?

According to our friend in Italy the first blocks (keel) will be laid tuesday morning at 10:30 Italy time.

[CarnieAddict]

Will it be done in time if they are only now starting to build it?

4988 passengers? So that doesn't include crew? Whooa. I hadn't heard that figure before.

[CarnieAddict]

Wow. That's a lot more people then they originally said isn't it?

I think the original figure was for double occupancy. This seems to be of all berths are filled.
