Carnival Freedom - any word yet?

[SanFranBayCruiser]

I know Carnival Freedom is due out in February, 2007 but, I was wondering if anyone had the date for it's maiden voyage yet.

I haven't seen anything yet. Carnival doesn't even have the ship listed on the ship page of their website yet.

I spoke with my ccl pvp Friday and she said there is a sales meeting from 2/21 to 2/23. She said this is probably when the info and pricing comes out on the Freedom.

Here's some info on it:

 

Estimated Inaugural: February, 2007

Cruise Line: Carnival Ship Name: Carnival Freedom

Size: GRT: 110,000 Capacity: 2974 (double occupancy)

Builder: Fincantieri - Sestri, Italy

This is an additional Conquest class vessel ordered as part of a four-ship deal with Fincantieri, two of which ended up going to the Carnival brand. As a Conquest-class, it will not fit through the Panama Canal. Given that there is an almost two-year lag between this ship and the previous one of this class delivered (Carnival Liberty), there will likely be some progressions in the design.
