Carnival Splendor to stay with Carnival, Golden Princess to transfer.

[CruiseAdict218]

In what I think is a shock, Carnival Splendor will stay with Carnival, while the Golden Princess will be transferred out in 2020.

 

With more details to come out next year, Carnival also wants to up from 1 to 2 ships year round in Australia.

Thanks for posting this.

We on the west coast would have been getting used to having Splendor back when we thought she would be moving again. Soo now we know she is staying for a while.

Now we’ll see in 3 1/2 years when Splendor goes into her usual dry dock how much 2.0 they can cram on her in 2 weeks. Lol

You all are welcome.But the link also says one more Carnival ship will be deployed year round in Australia, either Legend or Splendor, Ruby Princess also may do a season in Australia.

I’m so glad the Splendor is staying. After sailing on her for 9 days in Miami last summer, she grew on me. I hope Carnival can fully invest in some upgrades to keep her feeling young :)

Wait, are we still getting the third Vista class ship or Carnival is giving it back to P&O?

While on the Alaska Journey cruise, at his Q&A, I got the feeling from John Heald that the west coast was getting a Vista class ship. He said Splendor was leaving in 2019 but couldn't answer specifically which ship was replacing her. He said that Carnival has heard the west coasters and he thinks we will be very happy.

They did say that Carnival is going back to Finland for shipbuilding. Prefer the Finnish builds to the Italian ones.

 

John Heald also said that we were going to have a bright and sunny future. Causing some to think we'd be getting the Sunshine.

 

I'd be happy if we no longer have the Caribbean Shopping Talk on the West Coast.

In lieu of the Carnival Splendor staying, P&O Australia will take the Golden Princess. Vista 3 & Carnival Splendor will stay, but another ship will be based there year-round with the Carnival Spirit.

I think I'm the only one hoping Splendor doesn't stay in Long Beach. That is the closest port for us. We just did an 8 day Southern Caribbean on her in June and for the first time I can say that I did NOT like the ship. The pink zebra donuts didn't bother me, it was what I felt was a awkward layout and the worst Serenity deck of any ship we've been on.

This is awesome news! I love Splendor :)
