Same. I'd prefer Magic over Sunrise.

well....I doubt it will be the Fascination.  What does your gut tell you Grasshopper?  Sunrise already there, but Magic would be a change...but then, where would the Sunrise go?

Sunrise could go anywhere, I wouldn't even care. Just as long as the Magic comes to NYC.

Both could come to NY honestly, next year Legend, Sunrise, Radiance and Mardi Gras have sailings. Fascination while smaller is different so I’d still try it. NY is the last thing to basically announce.

that announcement should be coming within the next month or two. Carnival Triumph sailings out of NYC was announced in January 2018 (then in July 2018 they announced the Triumph will my renamed to Sunrise). I still have my confirmation that said Triumph when i booked it. Then in December 2018, it was announced that the Carnival Legend will be doing 3 sailings out of NYC in May/June

Based on past trends, i expect NY sailings to be released between December - January

They need a ship in San Juan, and Carnival has been pretty stalwart in putting something with limited features there....  while your comments on some of the other in NY are true, they really are just pass thru.

Hope springs eternal Grasshopper, we shall see.  

 

My hope is a different ship out of San Juan. If not, it's not the end of the world, I was pleasantly surprised by the Fascination.  But, weird they've taken this long to announce where that ship is going.

Just looking at that as well, loved the Iceland, Ireland, Scotland and Britain....NICE!

 

Right now I'm leaning toward the one that visits Edinburgh, Invergordon and Skye in Scotland; Belfast and Cobh in Ireland; and Liverpool in England. I've never been to either Ireland or Scotland, so this looks like a good introduction.

 

And I did check to see if it would be possible to pair it with a QM2 Transatlantic, but I'm afraid she's elsewhere.🤨

Does anyone know when we might be able to book these cruises? I will read the article again but on the first scan I didn't see dates. 

They are already loaded on the site, I was able to check prices for the Greek Isles cruises yesterday.
