Interesting move by Carnival. Except for a couple of Journey cruises, looks starting in 2025 , the Spirit will do 6 and 8 day cruises out of Mobile to the Bahamas only and thereby completly eliminating Western Caribbean ports. 6 day Start: Mobile > Bimini > Celebration Key or Start: Mobile > Celebration Key > Nassau 8 day Start: Mobile > Bimini > Celebration Key > Princess Cays > Nassau or Start: Mobile > Bimini > Nassau > Celebration Key > Half Moon Cay Good move by Carnival or not ?

Curious, I am looking at a few 7-Day Western Caribbean itineraries in March of 2025 out of New Orleans and Port Canaveral and see that the Liberty is more expensive than the Mardi Gras in balconies. I always thought tat the Mardi Gras would cost more being a much newer ship with more bells and whistles !

Things are certainly back to normal when people complain about dress codes, rowdy kids and bad sausage gravy !

PTCflyer, that is a great deal ! My deal is slightly more: Cruise Summary Itinerary:22 Days Transpacific from Brisbane, Australia Thu Apr 13, 2023 - Thu May 4, 2023 22 Days Transpacific from Brisbane, Australia from Thursday April 13, 2023 to Thursday May 04, 2023 Ship:Carnival Luminosa 1 Room 2 GuestsChange Room 1: Balcony Not So Spooky Early Saver Sale (OLS) $50.00 Credit to spend onboard Included Guest 1: $1,974.00 Guest 2: $1,974.00 Taxes, fees & port expenses: $349.64 Prepay gratuities $638.00 Add vacation protection $378.00 Room 1 Total:$4,297.64 Total :$4,297.64
