*Mach* Posted August 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2008 John Heald just posted this in his blog: Mayor Sam Jones said late Friday he has not been briefed, but he thinks Carnival will replace the Mobile-based Holiday with a larger ship. Steve Cape, co-owner of Springdale Travel, said Friday that he knew changes were imminent when Miami-based Carnival in mid-July halted orders for new 2009 brochures for the Holiday. I can’t tell you what it is ……..but I can give the proud people of Mobile, Alabama a clue. We love cruising out of Mobile and in the fall of 2009 your FANTASY of having a bigger ship…………will come true……….y’all. http://johnhealdsblog.com/2008/08/17...#comment-41410 Congratulations, Mobile!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so darned excited although it will be sad to see the Holiday go. Glad we're getting to sail on her again in a couple of days...maybe we can do it one more time before next fall.

*Mach* Posted August 18, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Any hints on the NOLA ship??? The Triumph will be moving to NOLA. There's quite a bit of conjecture that another Fantasy class ship will be moving there but that remains to be seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted August 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Will we (Mobile) be stuck without a cruise ship between the time Holiday's contract ends (October '08, I think) and Nov. '09 when Fantasy comes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfulone Posted August 20, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Will we (Mobile) be stuck without a cruise ship between the time Holiday's contract ends (October '08, I think) and Nov. '09 when Fantasy comes? Nope Holiday is to leave on nov 2 2009. Fantasy is Nov 10 so it will be 8 days in between. I read that on a site yesterday.
