Rare jimbo5544 Posted January 25, 2016 #851 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I saw on another site where Carnival was asking the loyal folks from down under what to call their "new" ship (name wise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Carnival Posted January 25, 2016 #852 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Dredging this up again. I can't find anything in Tampa but the Paradise. Any news??? Too bad "dredging" cannot help out our bridge situation! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boaterette Posted January 25, 2016 #854 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Someone asked john on his fb page which ship is replacing the Miracle and John said that the person would have a splendid time on it so I am guessing the Splendor is coming back to Long Beach.

franknberry Posted January 25, 2016 #855 Share Posted January 25, 2016 If Jacksonville will NOT dredge around MayPort and let a BIG ship come in, Carnival should go to Savannah. They will do ANYTHING to get a big Cruise ship. A Port there, instead of Tampa..........and there are a lot of ships there..then one in Mobile. then in New Orleans......then Texas SAVANNAH would get people from N.Florida. Alabama. Georgia. Tennessee ( I-95 straight line to the coast of GA) Kentucky. S.C., N.C.............HUGE market there that would drive, and not necessarily fly. MANY already vacation in S.C., GA.......North East Florida.......already coming in summer or on Holiday. on Interstate 95 and Interstate 10. Six hour or so drive. Doable. Same distance from Jax to Miami. And we drive it ...go the night before so extra business for them. Ditto for Savannah which is an eye popping lovely place. Great food too. Eat at Paula Deens place.

That would be all good but they already announced the Splendor was going to China in 2018 so it would be a temporary move. A part of me and this is purely my speculation only is that they will put the Vista sister ship in Australia and bring either the Spirit or Legend to Long Beach to do MR, Hawaiian and Alaskan cruises.

theriac Posted January 25, 2016 #857 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I was told last month by someone in HR who was on a cruise I was on that the Miracle was only going first to test the market and then go to China seasonally while the Splendor will be permanently based. They will also use Costas current infrastructure out of Shanghai. I can't confirm or have evidence to back this up. This was just mentioned to me when talking to someone on board who claimed to work in the corporate office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem5 Posted January 26, 2016 #858 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I say this all the time. But I still cannot believe they have not announced anything about vistas sister. She is set to be due exactly 2 years later than the vista. And by this time 2 years ago, they had the steal cutting ceremony, and we knew the name Vista. But for her sister we know absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to take a Med cruise until that ship is built! Wish I could do the Vista this year, but couldn't. So I'm waiting for the next one.

Vista's sister is already scheduled for 2018 (might be 19 not sure) without looking. You can count on that ship doing a med tour.

mikem5 Posted January 29, 2016 #863 Share Posted January 29, 2016 My two next cruises I have no idea if they will happen. Next summer I'm hoping to be on the splendor out of long beach. And the following summer on vistas sister out of Barcelona. It's a waiting game for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem5 Posted February 9, 2016 #867 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It has been announced it will be going to china I found the itineraries for miracle out of long beach for next summer. So I don't think that's the plan anymore. All the dates and prices are up out of long beach for summer of 2017 on the miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerman101 Posted February 9, 2016 #871 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) So I got a little behind here. Splendor going to China I get. Is that supposed to happen next March or so? I see she has no dates after Feb 17. EDIT: I am also surprised that they are not repeating the Journey Mex Riviera cruise again. That 13 day cruise sold remarkably well and the prices shot way up soon after it came up. Huh. Edited February 9, 2016 by tiggerman101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLee1973 Posted February 9, 2016 #872 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Now I'm confused. I thought the Miracle was going to China in March 2017 and the Splendor sometime in 2018, but sure enough the Miracle now has itineraries to the Mexican Riviera until Dec. 2017.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzdaan Posted February 12, 2016 #873 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Carnival Miracle is now available for sale through December 30, 2017. I have already booked us onto a November 2017 cruise. I have it from reliable source that the plan has been delayed and/or changed. Book away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerman101 Posted February 12, 2016 #875 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The last date for the Splendor is February 26th of 2017. Do we have any idea what she is doing after that? It is only a year away. It seems a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
