saltybones Posted September 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I sure hope it's a ship for Mobile! Never sailed from there, only about 5 hrs away for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemjam Posted September 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2015 HOLIDAY - now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time lol! Only sailed on her once and we were on the fated trip when they got her stuck in the reef off the coast of, hummmmmm? Calica I think it was, to long ago to remember. Anyhow spent the last day of our cruise on a ship with a sideways list with the Mexican military circling us. The next morning they emptied the entire ship with small boats and bused us all to Cancun airport to get us back to the US... now that was a fun vacation - lol!

tbjl24 Posted September 3, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 3, 2015 1:30pm and nothing more than what was spilled by the mayor on twitter. Why am I not surprised? Carnival has the worst communications department......ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliair Posted September 3, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Maybe the big news is they are retiring Fantasy hehehe :p My hope is that they get rid of the Imagination and Inspiration out of Long Beach and bring in a new ship. We're on the Miracle in a couple of weeks, and these ships can get old fast. I hate the Inspiration class of ships, they lack balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingcrzn11 Posted September 3, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Our first cruise was out of Mobile. We enjoyed the city and the fellow passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point the rumor was the Ecstasy was returning to Long Beach. She has balconies. No idea which ship she was supposed to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the Miracle in a couple of weeks, and these ships can get old fast. I hate the Inspiration class of ships, they lack balconies. Only three of the Fantasy class ships got balconies added. Fascination, Ecstasy and Sensation. The Paradise and Elation still do not have the Waterworks upgrade. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris64 Posted September 3, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't really care which ship it is, just glad to be sailing out of Mobile again!!! Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted September 3, 2015 #20 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm surprised they'd make any announcement if, per the mayor's comments in the link provided, they aren't expecting a deal to be signed until the end of September. Without a contract, there is no deal and nothing to announce. All they can really say is they hope and expect to be able to announce a deal to return to Mobile by the end of the month.

ready2cruzagain Posted September 3, 2015 #24 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Okay, so I read all of the posts but where does it state what the announcement at 1pm stated? Did I miss something? Edit: I found it online. Yep Mobile to sign a deal with Carnival by the end of the month.

Vitamin_Sea Posted September 4, 2015 #25 Share Posted September 4, 2015 My hope is that they get rid of the Imagination and Inspiration out of Long Beach and bring in a new ship. We're on the Miracle in a couple of weeks, and these ships can get old fast. I hate the Inspiration class of ships, they lack balconies. Yes. No such luck. But the fantasy class needs to go!
