SouthernCaribbean Posted June 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You guys might want to get on the phone to your TA or PVP to make other plans. I know this has got to suck. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/06-06-2008/0004827974&EDATE= Carnival Freedom to Operate Year-Round Six- and Eight-Day Caribbean Cruises from Ft. Lauderdale Beginning Nov. 2008 MIAMI, June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carnival Cruise Lines' 2,974-passenger Carnival Freedom, which was originally scheduled to operate six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on a seasonal basis, will now operate the program year-round, following the conclusion of its 2008 Mediterranean program in October. Carnival Freedom's year-round schedule from Fort Lauderdale begins November 22, 2008, with six-day cruises departing Sundays and visiting Key West, Fla., George Town, Grand Cayman; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica, while eight-day voyages departing Saturdays alternate to the eastern and western Caribbean. Eight-day eastern Caribbean voyages visit five ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas/St. John, U.S.V.I.; Antigua, Lesser Antilles; Tortola/Virgin Gorda, B.V.I.; and Nassau, The Bahamas. Western Caribbean cruises include Cozumel, Mexico; Limon, Costa Rica; and Colon, Panama. According to Lynn C. Torrent, Carnival's senior vice president of sales and guest services, "The Caribbean is, by far, the most popular cruising region for North Americans. It is easily accessible and affordable, and when combined with attractive, destination-rich itineraries such as these, a Caribbean cruise represents the ideal vacation choice for consumers." Torrent noted that while the plan had been for Carnival Freedom to return to Europe in 2009, the strong performance of the line's entire Caribbean fleet made the new six- and eight-day deployment a compelling choice.
