Terminal officials said there would be no gap in cruise service during the transition.

Now, we will have to wait til tomorrow & see what's coming to New Orleans. I'm all for a 7 day. It's been way too long.

Too bad nothing was said about NOLA. I wonder which ship(s) will be placed there? If any? :confused:

Never fear ... it definitely isn't "if any"! Tomorrow will be just as exciting.

[VolzCruiser]

That is great news. I guess now I will have to start looking into booking a cruise out of Mobile in the future since it was such a wonderful city to visit and then take a cruise.

[soulfulone]

I just read the article. I had said it was a win win for both Mobile and Carnvial.. I am so happy for the port of Mobile. So sorry NO that she did not stay there.

[beccadoby]

You will be fine. They stated Nov 2009 for the Fantasy to be in Mobile.

Yes there is an article on al.co saying the Fantasy will be in Mobile effective Nov 09. Time posted 1:31 so someone either had an inside track or was guessing and attempting to get a leg up on everyone else. I've looked at local news on line and see nothing and have seen nothing on the Carnival page either.

Ship's time

 

You just need to figure out which ship. :D

 

+1 safetyal:)

 

Too bad about Kenny Stabler!:rolleyes:

Press releases are often distributed at the beginning of the announcement. This would be easy to have on that quick. This is a big announcement for Mobile, so they would want to post the news first there!

Boooooooooo

 

Don't worry...tomorrow we might hear that New Orleans gets the Sensation (which will be brand new after January 2009) AND the Triumph for 7 day!!!

[Rowan555]

Yes, I need that drink now. If all we're going to have is 7 days on the Triumph, I'm done cruising.

[1tuckersmom]

Well now I`m happy...:)

Sorry about the ones that are unhappy, but Mobile is so much closer to port for DH and I.

We have to take our fur baby to DS and his DW to puppy sit for us while we Cruise, they live 11/2 hrs. from Mobile.

Yeah, how great is that?

For sure we will cruise lots more from Mobile.

I hope that's true... I will be disappointed if we don't get a waterworks ship :cool:

That'll be great. We sailed both before & hopefully will sail on the Fantasy next June before she heads to Mobile.
