Carnival Splendor will return to Long Beach

[Applealex]

Confirmed by my PVP today, the Carnival Splendor will reposition to Long Beach in January 2018, trading places with the Carnival Miracle which will reposition to Tampa.

[Florings]

Yay! For the Miracle in Tampa!!

Will they be replacing the Splendor with another ship in Miami?

The Vista.

[Buckett]

Yay! I had been hoping this would be the case! Now just have to wait for them to release the 2018 dates so I can book. :D

Finally, a new ship to try. I've been on the Inspiration, Imagination, and the Miracle out of Long Beach.

Dang. Was hoping for a Conquest or Dream class to come to LB. I sailed the Splendor last time she was in LB. Maybe a quick drydock for Guy's and Blue Iguana?

Assuming the new canal is opened, that would be a nice relocation cruise. We sailed the Miracle when it moved to Long Beach replacing the Splendor, be fun to sail the Splendor back to California replacing the Miracle. Kind of a full circle thing.

The Splendor has been out here before when she lost power and was adrift for days and had to have food and water supplied courtesy of the U.S.S. Reagan. Hopefully her deployment to the west coast will go more smoothly this time.

When was the Splendor out in the west coast?

I too wish we would get a different ship!

The Splendor was out here several years ago.

We had her booked but then she had problems, a fire or something and we didn't go.

I would certainly be interested in a Panama Canal repositioning cruise though!!:p

She also had an issue with lining up to the Long Beach ramp one cruise. Messed up many with travel plans after the cruise.

During the Swine Flu, cruises on her were cheap.

When we did Jan. 2013 cruise to Hawaii we did two days in Oahu and missed Kauai because they said Splendor was too long to enter port

Splendor will be going to China in 2019 so no Guys or Blue Iguana

 

I'll be interested in the repo cruise if it goes through the canal. Sad that it will be the Splendor as I was hoping a 2.0'd ship would come to Long Beach. At least it's only there for roughly a year.

[shof515]

i wish they send the Carnival Miracle back to new york, that was my first cruise and would of love to sail the Miracle again.

[Haoie]

I was due to go on her for my first cruise - if it wasn't for the damn engine fire! Went on the Paradise instead.

According to my PVP, Carnival is just going to build a ship specific to the Chinese market (because of the dramatic culture differences) rather than trying to renovate a current ship.

 

Carnival is certainly confused as to what they plan to do with China. First it was both Miracle and Splendor would be going. Then it was pushed back a year. Then Miracle isn't going at all (confirmed). And now apparently Legend is leaving Australia and doing China? They can't seem to make up their minds!!

I guess I lucked out . . . cruised her once before the fire and twice after the fire ;). . . LOL. My favorite Carnival ship. Sure hope she's going to do the weekly run to the Mexican Riviera and not the spotty trade-off runs to the Riviera, Hawaii-to-Vancouver, Vancouver-to-Hawaii, Alaska destinations.

 

Will sure be nice to get a 7-dayer that doesn't require air travel.:D Currently pulling my hair out over a cruise on the Breeze out of Galveston . . . hate airlines.:(
