Dancing of the Ships 2019-2020 speculation

[jasong38501]

So now that Panorama and Splendor have homes, what changes do you see for 2020?

 

I think Excellence 1 goes to Miami (via New York) with Victory going to Port Canaveral. Mobile, San Juan, and Port Canaveral swap Fantasy-class ships; Mobile gets balconies with the Fascination, San Juan keeps them with the Elation, and Port Canaveral keeps them with the Victory while getting the balcony-challenged Fantasy.

 

I don’t see much other movement prior to 2022, although I expect Victory to throw some New York sailings into the mix if she has the longer “Sunshine” dry dock in 2021.

 

Still not entirely complete with 2019 yet. Nothing official on Legend yet. The way I read the announcements she won't be going back to Australia. And she has no repositioning cruise scheduled yet. And Miracle's schedule oddly stops in September 2019 while the rest of the ships have schedules released through April 2020. I am thinking maybe Legend to Tampa and Miracle to ???? I would like to see Miracle maybe go to Canaveral to pick up a 6/8 day run since Sunshine will be leaving. But with Elation moving down there I don't know that there would even be room.

The carnival Australia website has cruises on the legend already released for November 2019. I checked because I have been waiting for the Vancouver to Hawaii one in Sept. To be released.

Here's another question. Why has Carnival reduced its presence somewhat in Lauderdale? GREAT airport access and excellent port to sail from.

 

Wow, I'm hoping this changes by May 2020. I finally talked some folks into sailing out of FLL during that time because of the access to airport/hotels/port. It seems like a win-win.

Yea!!! Would love to see a Vista class ship in PC. Those ships rock!

 

If the Vista or any Vista class ship sails out of PC, it would be a dream come true!

Even I didn’t think about it in my earlier post, but I’d think Fort Lauderdale would be a good candidate to land Horizon when the 2020 newbuild lands in Miami - it certainly would be easier to replace Horizon with the new ship than it would be Sensation or Victory, as that would still put Miami up about 1500 berths rather than 2500 to 3500 (or even worse, 5500 for an entirely new ship).
