Sensation replaces Fantasy

[DJ-Squared]

Just received this:

View Online Dear Guest, Today, we announced several changes to our fleet plan that have resulted in new ship assignments and upgraded offerings in several markets.  Carnival Sensation will be moving to Mobile to take up itineraries previously assigned to Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Fascination, including your cruise. Carnival Sensation is a sister ship to both Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Fascination, offering more balcony stateroom choices, as well as the popular Alchemy Bar, Guy’s Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina and Tequila Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar and WaterWorks Aqua Park.  We know our guests will enjoy this ship and the new features it will bring to Mobile. Your reservation will be automatically moved to Carnival Sensation. We are in the process of changing your ship assignment and here’s what you need to know:   Our team will be doing all the work so there is no need to call us.  Your stateroom assignment will be comparable to what you are currently holding.  We expect the work to be completed by August 23, 2020, at which time you will receive an email confirmation with your stateroom number.   All pre-purchased items such as Carnival Vacation Protection, gratuities, Carnival shore excursions (including Faster to the Fun), beverage and Wi-Fi packages, and Fun Shop items will automatically transfer with you to Carnival Sensation. We want to get back to cruising just as soon as we can and look forward to our terrific crew welcoming you back on board!  Thank you for your understanding and support, and please continue to take care of yourself and your loved ones.  Sincerely, Christine Duffy President, Carnival Cruise Line   Contact Us  •  About Us  •  Privacy Notice  •  Unsubscribe

I’m relieved to see that Fantasy is being replaced with the Sensation since Mobile is my closest port or embarkation. I was concerned that Mobile would be one of Covid’s casualties. 
 

Pre-Covid, I was hopeful that mobile would get bigger ships, longer itineraries, or other cruise lines. At this point in time, I’m just thrilled that they are not losing service!

Hopefully Carnival can market enough along the I-65 corridor to get people who won't fly to drive to a cruise in Mobile.
