Jeepenfun Posted September 23, 2015 #801 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Like I said in the other thread, I hope they don't move Splendor before my cruise in April out of Miami or I'll be pissed. I've been looking forward to this vacation for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kublaieod Posted September 23, 2015 #810 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Heard bits and pieces of the conference. Going to be a huge facelift to Fantasy much like the Destiny/Sunshine. Wonder if they will rename it. Looking for details of all the upgrades. Mobile is a happy city today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybluecruiser Posted September 23, 2015 #811 Share Posted September 23, 2015 where is the naysayer that said carnival would never return to Mobile. Where is the naysayer that Carnival would never put 2.0 features on a fantasy class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwsmith88 Posted September 23, 2015 #812 Share Posted September 23, 2015 where is the naysayer that said carnival would never return to Mobile. Where is the naysayer that Carnival would never put 2.0 features on a fantasy class ship. I have heard ramblings that all Fantasy class ships are going to get the full gut and replace with 2.0 upgrades. They are going to slow down on new ship deployments and start upgrading older ships to look new. I think its a great idea if true. Disclaimer: This came from a friend who works for Carnival. These plans could and will change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smarks Posted September 23, 2015 #813 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm so glad to see a Carnival ship returning to Mobile. Such a nice port and a nice city. I'm also hoping they go back to Calica. It will be interesting to see what they do the Fantasy. Sailed on her a few times out of Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmc alabama Posted September 23, 2015 #814 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Any thoughts on how the 2.0 upgrades will be applied? How long is the Fantasy's Dry Dock?

BalzacBill Posted September 27, 2015 #817 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just got off the Carnival Miracle, and heard from a crewmember that the Miracle is destined for redeployment to service the China market in the future. That could explain why not all of all the 2.0 upgrades were installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could explain why not all of all the 2.0 upgrades were installed. Well, other cruise lines are sending more resources to that market so maybe it makes sense for Carnival to join the party. If true, that's bad news for the West Coast unless they replace Miracle with a comparable (or larger) ship (I guess the Splendor rumor is still out there).

cruisexlife Posted September 27, 2015 Author #819 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well, other cruise lines are sending more resources to that market so maybe it makes sense for Carnival to join the party. If true, that's bad news for the West Coast unless they replace Miracle with a comparable (or larger) ship (I guess the Splendor rumor is still out there). I feel as though a ship like Valor or Victory would be better suited for that. The casinos are bigger, and there aren't many places in Asian ports where size matters, where in the US, it's a huge deal. Carnival just can't afford to lose 3/4 Panamax balcony ships.

That could explain why not all of all the 2.0 upgrades were installed. I would be very surprised if that were to occur. Carnival has said many times (some from very high ranking people directly to me) that Carnival cruise line is the Caribbean alternative, Australia was a one off due to the similarity of the market. China would be served by other Carnival companies (Princess, HAL and Costa were named). What was the level (job) of the person that told you this?

AmberTeka Posted September 28, 2015 #821 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Since the people on this thread keep up with news about ships...........Would you answer a question for me. We were booked on the Splendor Cruise out of Miami to Panama. Costa Rica.Cozumel for Dec. 10, 2016. An eight day Round Trip sailing. This week end e-mails went out that it was changed. That same cruise now goes to Cozumel. Belize. Honduras. Caymon Island. Costa Maya. None of which I am interested in going to again soon. We cancelled. Our InLaws whom we had talking into going are cancelling tomorrow with their TA. DO you know or suspect that Carnival Will put an 8 day cruise back on that Panama..Costa Rica itinerary in 2017? or will they leave that market to other Cruise lines? thanks for your knowledge.

Not sure I would call it knowledge or rather an educated guess. I would be very surprised if Carnival would not go to the ports you mentioned. That being said, scheduling for said ports might be a little tricky. It might be that they are holding future stops there for any ship movement around that time (canal passage etc of trying to get ships back and forth. While some ships are out for that period, I am sore there will be released later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLee1973 Posted October 3, 2015 #824 Share Posted October 3, 2015 On the Miracle right now. Future desk had itineraries for the Miracle in 2017 out of Tampa with no dates. Was told no firm date as of yet but Miracle is going ti Tampa early 2017 and Splendor to LB which we already speculated. Surprise was his comment that the Miracle would only be in Tampa about a year since Carnival was in talks to move her to China in early 2018.

With no dates on the future cruise information may not be definite but thought I would ask. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
