Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted June 24, 2009 #26 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I think it is more related to that Splendor began revenue sailings on July 2, but had a non-rev sailing just prior. Don't want to steal the spotlight from the new ship and all. I think Carnival is also interested in finding out how many are interested in booking Europe for 2011, soooo. I think Magic bookings will open up before the end of September. ... as in 3 months from now? I would almost be willing to bet against that.. but, as I mentioned before, the unknown inner workings at CCL are beyond our (well, mine at least) comprehension! :D Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June (Magic) is a more popular month for cruising than Sept (Dream). Personally, I think the Magic will start sailing in May. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom And people can start saving buckeroos. People who want to cruise Europe in 2010 needed to find another cruise line. I think Carnival might like to try to limit the defection rate for 2011.

Rowan555 Posted June 25, 2009 #33 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think the Magic will look really pretty sitting at the New Orleans dock! :D Yes indeed, what a wonderful thing to ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted June 25, 2009 #34 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yes indeed, what a wonderful thing to ponder. I have not really paid any attention to the issues (previously) with the power lines over the Mississippi. I know at one point there were clearance problems with the Conquest. Has that been fully resolved, and is the Dream any taller than Conquest class ships? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavCom Posted July 4, 2009 #37 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I think Carnival is also interested in finding out how many are interested in booking Europe for 2011, soooo. You remember how splendiforous our Salsas 49ers cruise was on Splendor, right? I have suggested to John Heald that he should petition head office to consider something very special for the Magic: like possibly a "grand tour of the Mediterranean". Let's all spread this rumour far and wide....... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's all spread this rumour far and wide....... Jim true, but I was also on the first three Splendor cruises - Went from Genoa, Italy all the way to St Petersburg before ending up at Dover. Now THAT was grand. ;) It could happen again. http://www.zydecocruiser.com/splendor/splendor.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted July 4, 2009 #39 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I just have to say that the name "Magic" is about as un-original a name as the could possibly have come up with. Could they not find a word which was not already the name of another similar ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted July 4, 2009 #40 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I just have to say that the name "Magic" is about as un-original a name as the could possibly have come up with. Could they not find a word which was not already the name of another similar ship? Like the Disney Magic?? lmao. Yep, they are out of names obviously. When you say Freedom, folks dont know which cruiseline, and others, its confusing. You would think they could find a new name that wasnt already being used.

Captain Rhone Posted July 4, 2009 #42 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Carnival Magic's delivery date is April 29th 2011 so if it stays in Europe and cruises from say Civitavecchia, at least on the first trip, then the maiden voyage would be around May 2nd but even if she went to the US it would still begin cruising during May 2011 and not June 2011.

Could they not find a word which was not already the name of another similar ship? i think these area all better / more original names than 'magic'... Carnival Journey, Carnival Odyssey, Carnival Expedition, Carnival Felicity, Carnival Solace, Carnival Ambrosia, Carnival Serenity, Carnival Tranquility, Carnival Pinnacle, Carnival Utopia, Carnival Delight, Carnival Rapture, Carnival Rhapsody, Carnival Euphoria, Carnival Exuberance, Carnival Jubilation, Carnival Delight, Carnival Tribute, Carnival Ovation, Carnival Prestige, Carnival Resolute, Carnival Enterprise, Carnival Endeavour, Carnival Discovery, Carnival Vanquish, Carnival Wonder, Carnival Prodigy, Carnival Essence, Carnival Mirage, Carnival Sublime, Carnival Marvel, Carnival Neptune, Carnival Atlantis, Carnival Triton, Carnival Phenom, Carnival Regal, Carnival Gallant, Carnival Venture, Carnival Excalibur, Carnival Constellation, Carnival Excelsior, Carnival Intrepid, Carnival Challenger, Carnival Galaxy, Carnival Reliant, Carnival Equinox, Carnival Nautilus since they're renaming purser desk = guest services, supper club = steak house... why not the new ship lol :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read before that it would be May, but nobody would confirm. Anyway, I predict a season of European cruise before the crossing and Magic's new home port of New Orleans. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
