djcass4199 Posted April 20, 2015 #476 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The Fantasy is I believe in its 25th year for CCL this year. I wonder if part of the reason that Fantasy itineraries are still not all the way out could imply some special 25th anniversary celebration cruises of longer varieties. Or a grand relocation cruise? That would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know it is not your preference, you won't go wrong sailing on the Pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingwithAutism Posted April 21, 2015 #479 Share Posted April 21, 2015 JH wouldn't have to dispel rumors if he would just come right out and say things. Tired of all the vaguery and implied hints with pictures. This has been the longest dance ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of all the vaguery and implied hints with pictures. This has been the longest dance ever. Tell me about it!! It would be so much easier if they would just announce it all at once. Would be much more convenient for all us, so we can start planning our future vacations and have more time to pay on them and plan them out. Instead of just sitting and waiting for the future itineraries and ship deployments from our nearby homeports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his problem that his bosses can tell him that he can give us ship deployment news and then they have to put it off a few more days.

I never said it was. But today he said some very vague things about the Fantasy, then later decided to quell rumors on cruise critic by saying that she would still be sailing with the red, white and blue. Why not just say that in the original post?! Oh, I know why-because it garners more speculation/attention this way. And, here we are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCFTJCH2V Posted April 21, 2015 #484 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I thought I read some fanfare of an announcement with a release date of this information a couple of weeks ago. Was that another failed announce date follow through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccruisequeen Posted April 21, 2015 #486 Share Posted April 21, 2015 My main response to that is why bother? There's no gain in capacity with swapping out for another Fantasy class vessel. Maybe it doesn't sail as full as I think, or maybe the port simply can't handle a larger ship year round until the new port is built. I bet she'll go in dry dock while the Sunshine is in Charleston and get some upgrades, then go back to Charleston. They may reposition another ship there for a few sailings after the Sunshine has moved on, depending on how extensive the upgrades will be. A better question is why have two ships of the same class doing the same itineraries a day apart (I.e. LONG BEACH) Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toad455 Posted April 21, 2015 #488 Share Posted April 21, 2015 maybe a newly refurbished Fantasy (w/balconies) moves to Tampa for 7 day cruises?? Miracle relocates to Charleston?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting but I don't think CCL would have 2 Fantasy class ships in Tampa. Maybe Paradise to Charleston and Miracle and Fantasy to Tampa??

mz-s Posted April 21, 2015 #491 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Having a Spirit-class ship in Charleston would be awesome. I think the Miracle is going to Tampa though. JH posted photos of the Miracle in Tampa a few days ago on FB. That seemed to be a hint to me...but then again, his Fantasy shots the other day seemed to be a farewell of sorts until he cleared that up with his addendum. So I don't know what to think.

ETinCA Posted April 22, 2015 #492 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I see the Inspiration and Imagination on carnival.com through April 2017 at this point. Maybe they aren't moving either of these after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisexlife Posted April 22, 2015 Author #499 Share Posted April 22, 2015 so boring. I can't imagine both are selling well. At least have one of them change every now and then and do a longer route. My exact thought pattern. I've looked into every way, and in order for them to bring back the 5 - 5 - 4 night schedules, they would have to leave out of San Diego again. Long Beach can only hold one ship. But I really wish they would expand with this market, San Diego is a great city! How about San Francisco, 5 nights to Catalina and Ensenada (has to leave the country to be a legal cruise), and then a 2 night Nowhere cruise, for a couple months out of the year? Don't understand it I guess. But you're right, the ships do not sell well. They rarely sail full during off-season times. Mobile is calling.....
