2014 Europe Question?

[gstewart]

Does anyone know when Carnival is likely to release details of its 2014 Europe itineraries (if they intend to come back to Europe) and what ship or ships they are likely to use?

If they do, it will be soon.

I asked my PVP that very question because my husband and I want to book ours ASAP. I was told because of the Costa Concordia incident last year they were going to see how this season goes before posting the European schedule for 2014. I would imagine that decision was only reinforced with the Splendor and Triumph accidents.

Thanks for this information! I am one of those that keeps wondering about Europe 2014. Currently booked on NCL. RCCL also hasn't posted. I like to book early and make payments.

I've been asking for months. Supposedly sometime between now and spring???

Carnival certainly are marketing the Sunshine and Legend more in the UK this year.

I was half expecting the Victory to get the Sunshine makeover in Europe before operating a season in the Med. In 2015 (i think), Carnival will have their next newbuild in 2016 so its likely to be refurbished or repositioned ships until then.

We wang them to come out also so we can book for our 30th anniversary.

You're welcome. I asked for the same reason since we, too, like to book early and make payments. I like debt free vacations.

RCI have released their 2014 Northern Europe schedules today. Does that mean Carnival will do the same soon?

Nope NOT selfish at all. You have to think of the airline policy of putting on the oxygen mask first. You are not just a mother - you are a woman who deserves romance and a lovely anniversary.

And didn't we all grow up getting that t-shirt (my parents went to ..... and all I got was this stinkin' t-shirt). Didn't die from it. Just made us look forward to being an adult more. Besides, they'll appreciate it more when they have to pay for it themselves! I know I sure do...
