Sailing out of Baltimore on Carnival Pride May 12
toad455 replied to IMANOT's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Interesting. So if anyone parks at Norfolk for departure, is Carnival busing then back to Norfolk from Baltimore on 5/26? -

So is the May 19 Pride cruise sailing out of Norfolk? -

So is this May 12 cruise returning to Baltimore on May 19? Sounds like they might be able to. -

Why is Carnival giving guests just 4 days notice?? I saw Heald's post yesterday and thought their late decision making is extremely poor on them. -
Puerto Plata has a lot of unpaved roads. In January, I nearly threw my back out because of the rough trip to our beach. If I ever return there, I would just hang out at the pool that's right at the pier.
-
The issue would be that this "World" cruise would have to use a Spirit-class ship. Alaska/Hawaii gets one, Tampa gets one, Mobile gets one for 6 months, and Baltimore another. Stretches this class a little thin.
-
Might be time to scrap this ship.
-
Seems like either Grand Turk or Puerto Plata are the usual substitutes unless it's a short itinerary. I'm sure Royal would prefer two ships at CocoCay everyday, but Grand Turk is a better destination as you can spread out more. I guess RCCL is paying Carnival to use the port?
-
Which is odd for Carnival to be announcing one cruise at a time. Carnival should just say cruises until the end of May will be moved to Norfolk.

Future of Carnival fleet - 2027 and beyond.

Costa has 9 ships left in their fleet with no new builds planned. Their oldest ship, the Fortuna, is now 21 years old. Maybe they get the old Mediterranea from Adora cruises in a few years if that cruise line doesn't start to get off the ground? -
Perry Grant on Explorer April 19?

He just got off but has hinted he'll be back shortly. Didn't speculate as to what ship though. -

Paradise and Elation will be 30 years old in 2028. I wonder if any of the Costa ships might bounce over to Carnival by then. Costa seems to be slowly disappearing. -
I don't think the Vision left on time today out of Norfolk(5pm). Probably closer to 6:30pm. The Carnival Legend was also late leaving on Monday(~7pm).
-
Vision is officially docked in Norfolk!
-
John Heald posted that they're remaining hopefully that the Pride's repo cruise will end in Baltimore. Good for Carnival for being optimistic.
-
There's also about a dozen ships stuck in the harbor and can't leave. They'll be the priority once it's allowed to reopen.

Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins

Has this thread been started yet? -
Curious to see if any of these Norfolk sailings will become available for sale. Either on the Vision or either Carnival ship.
-
The Norfolk cruises aren't available to book. At least not yet. Carnival still has the two Pride sailings out of Baltimore in April still available and the repo cruise from Tampa still ending in Baltimore. Carnival seems hopefully the harbor will be clear in time for the Pride to arrive.
-
only 6 hours in Key West is disappointing.
-
the one thing that i thought would change would be the departure time out of Norfolk to late evening(8pm or 9pm).
-
I'm guessing the second cruise is ending a day early because the Carnival ship has the pier on April 20?
-
Interesting they decided on Norfolk over Bayonne. Staff were telling guests on the Vision they expected Bayonne. Maybe it's cheaper to go to Norfolk and bus people from there instead of Bayonne?
-
I also don't ever remember Norfolk having more than one ship sailing from there. It's always been a limited summer home port for Carnival. Has Royal ever sailed from there?
-
Why weren't the construction workers told to get off the bridge? They were apparently on a break and the six that died were in their cars keeping warm. On another note, Vision passengers are saying they'll dock in Bayonne. I'd assume their next two cruises prior to drydock will sail out of there, too.
