I also saw it on the news tonight (in New Orleans). I hope they'll be sending more ships here!!!!

Yep, the 10 o'clock news tonight said that Carnival and the Port of New Orleans will make an announcement tomorrow. Oh I hope that we're getting a big ship again. I hate traveling to Galveston.

 

Anyone heard anything about it?

[LHP]

Ok...it is tomorrow...where's the news??? Can you spell "I Can't Wait!" LOL

[wentworth]

Would love the opportunity to go back to NO. Hopefully they will send one

of the newer ships.

Thanks for the info. I also can't wait. I want to book another cruise for November 2007 but was holding out for another bigger ship in New Orleans. Hoping to get my first balcony cabin (fingers crossed).;)

 

Anybody know what time the annoucement is supposed to take place??

Is anyone aware what time this will happen today???

I just got off the phone with PVP and she said that the Fantasy is moving to New Orleans very soon. I'm not sure if this is the annoucement or not.

That is not the announcement. I have been booked on the Fantasy from New Orleans for months. It begins cruising from there the last part of October.

[bobnlisam]

sorry!

This NOLA peep is all ready to bring his own beer on board! ;)

There is an announcement at 2pm CST, about the return of 7-day cruises out of New Orleans. They did not name the ship yet.

We just booked a cruise last week on the Conquest leaving out of Galveston. How does that work if they move the Conquest to New Orleans? Will I have to cancel and rebook? :confused:

I don't think that is going to happen... but if it does, they will most likely do to you what they did for us. We were booked on the Conquest out of NOLA for this October, they moved us to Galveston after Katrina... we are now out of Galveston. You could cancel without penalty if you didn't want to cruise from Galveston.

Thank you.

I was hoping it would be as simple as just driving to New Orleans instead of Galveston to meet the ship without having to make any other changes, like having to cancel and rebook. I have no problem with leaving from New Orleans.

Logic says the Valor.

 

Carnivals recent modis opererandi has been to move a ship after drydock and Valor is about due for one.

 

That's my guess.

I would love to see a 7 day return to New Orleans my favorite port.

That's what I'm thinking... and hoping :D Only 8 minutes til the announcement!! Then we can start thinking about S&S 4 :D

I called my PVP and asked since I am waiting to book a new cruise for a new ship in Mobile or New Orleans. He said he had heard rumors that the Liberty would be moved after it finishes it European cruises. He knew nothing of an announcement.
