cmukid87 Posted June 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I almost pulled the trigger yesterday morning on a sailing on Elation out of Port Canaveral. Then yesterday evening Carnival releases a statement about Magic coming to Canaveral to replace Elation and take those itineraries. I'm pretty excited about that.....BUT....how soon should I expect to see those as a booking option? I've been refreshing the website like a true addict and nothing shows for Magic in August!

It will take Carnival a while to map the existing Elation cabin bookings to the Magic - I would expect it will take them the weekend, at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was kind of figuring. Everyone booked on Elation would have first claim on rooms when their bookings were switched. I'm trying to be ready so when rooms are available we get one of our favorites is all. Can't wait to sail! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camper49 Posted June 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Is this a permanent move? We just booked Elation for January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That magic swapped out for elation. Anything I'd say is a guess. Probably is my answer lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic will be permanently homeported at Port Canaveral. That was already planned, it's just happening a few months earlier. Elation will likely be back in service after 10/07.

BossyKat Posted June 11, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Elation is in dry dock. The Magic is just filling in till then, then she will resume her itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane0226 Posted June 11, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2021 We were on the Aug 7th sailing on the Elation, received the letter, stating that they will replace the Elation with the Magic, and also took our Grand Turk port out and replaced it with Bimini. We have not received the new cabin on the Magic yet, and my booking has disappeared, guess they are working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked on this cruise. We were told the June 17th is when we will know what our new cabin would be. I suspect that's when you may see it posted.

Based on historical data, it’s unlikely to stay in Port Canaveral until it’s beaches so therefore the probability of it being permanent is very low.

Floriduh Posted June 14, 2021 #17 Share Posted June 14, 2021 As stated above, they are supposed to have the new room assignments by June 17. If you have a wheelchair accessible room they are calling you sooner to talk about your exact needs. We got our call this morning. She just asked questions for now and said she would call us before 5:30 tonight with our new rooms. We need another, non accessible, room for my mother that we want close to us. They are working on everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we're booked on Magic for Dec 2022. The point being made is long term =/= permanent. Cruise ships never (AFAIK) stay permanently out of a single port their whole lifetime - Magic will eventually get moved somewhere else, probably multiple times, and then eventually she will be sold off.

If Elation is in dry dock, that means she should be getting the new livery. Should emerge with a much-improved 'look'! Looking forward to seeing pics. So far, it's just Mardi Gras and Magic displaying the new look - although there may be another one? ..or two? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
