I believe there are 2 other ships planned to be homeported there by August, Liberty and Elation. But definitely I am hoping Mardi Gras will be prioritized. Heck I hope they all sail of course but we are looking forward to our booked cruise August 7, and would be grateful to be on board any ship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knights on the Beach Posted May 28, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Of course I care about Mardi Gras, but as a local resident I care a lot about Port Canaveral. I'm ready to see the ships coming and going WITH passengers on them. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgRockCruiser Posted May 28, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 28, 2021 This is unexpected but great news! I half-expected PC to linger another month in the background until they got the Miami operations rolling, and maybe they still will wait a whole month for operations if Miami does get sailing in July as planned, but this is a huge step towards that! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a lot of hope for Port Canaveral any time soon. This is great news. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coscab Posted May 28, 2021 #13 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Was at Port Canaveral yesterday eating at Fishlips, there was a royal caribbean ship in, maybe getting crew vaccinated? The Disney ships have been anchored off shore for a while now, they go in and out alot but I only saw one out there yesterday. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't keep up with all the good news! Thanks for posting Tom-n-Cheryl! 🍹 I thought this interesting: "For Carnival, though, it will have to complete a test voyage with at least 10% passenger capacity on each ship meeting the sundry safety requirements from the CDC in order to get its Conditional Sailing Certificate, which would then allow the cruise line to sail with paying customers. Those certificates are handed out on a ship-by-ship basis." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you; hope Baltimore is back in biz as planned as well for you! I would love to be on a Spirit class ship one day. In fact I wonder if those will replace Fantasy class in certain ports eventually? Not sure if they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit is not much bigger than Fantasy class. I know Baltimore is limited to around the size of a Spirit because of the cross under the bridge. Wouldn't be able to fit anything bigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fingers crossed we get news like this in the near future about Seattle too. I don't go until 8/31, but I sure hope it works out. It's looking pretty promising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
