8 day cruises

[bubbles1209]

DH finally got enough vacation time to do an 8 day or 2, and now, with the exception of leaving out of New York, there are none for next June.:( He doesn't want to go to New York. Anyone else wish they had more 8 days? I saw where host Randy did one in the southern caribbean and loved it. Wonder which ship and where all he went, all the southern's I've looked at have hardly any sea days in them.

I did my first 8 day a few months ago, and loved it.

We are booked for 3/30/08 for the Sourthern Caribbean on the Miracle. It is an 8 day cruise from Ft Lauderdale to St Martin, St Kitts and St Lucia with 2 sea days to the ports and 2 days coming back. I think that is what you are looking for.

In the new Currents it shows Miracle and Liberty 8 days starting 9/29/07 thru 3/1/08 out of FLL and Pride and Spirit out of LA

It looks to me like the Carnival Liberty is offering eight day cruises about twice per month out of Fort Lauderdale.

Thats odd, the Liberty has been running 8 day cruises all year already out of FLL:rolleyes:

The Pride is in LA, but the Spirit is home ported in San Diego during the winter and Alaska during the summer.

8 Day Southern Caribbean Cruise

 

CARNIVAL MIRACLE Carnival Miracle is the fourth ship in the Spirit class, which introduced some significant firsts for Carnival: alternative restaurants and onboard wedding chapels. Spirit-class ships also offer an impressive 80 percent ratio of outside cabins, as well as lots of nice little touches -- like museum-quality artwork and "designer" martinis.

We did the Liberty 8 day. Same as S&S 3 will be doing Oct 13, 2007. San Juan, St Thomas, Antigua, Tortola, etc. Great ship & intin.

The problem with 8 day cruises of course is you have to either have a floating start date, or follow it with a 6 day (a la Liberty) which aren't as popular.

 

To the OP, it looks like your choices for a June 08 cruise is either a New York departure or Carnival Freedom out of FLL.
