  1. Source? I thought the Conquest class ships were 208 above the waterline. Spirit class has a short funnel on deck 12 while Conquest has a tall funnel on the same deck, and I can't see Conquest only being three feet taller.
  2. The new Key Bridge will have a higher clearance than the original at 230 feet, up from 185. However, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge still has a clearance of 186 feet, so only Fantasy and Spirit class ships can fit. It seems as though they are going to put a shorter funnel and mast on a Conquest class ship so it can fit. Most likely Freedom since they already have to mess with the funnel at the next dry dock
  3. There are two terminals. Splendor sails from the one outside of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Splendor wouldn't be able to be modified because it already has a short funnel that is one deck up from the other ships
  4. Spirit could do that since it won't be needed in Mobile during the winters once the year round ship is there. But I feel like they would have announced it today. So where will Spirit go? If they were to retire one of the older ships, they would also have to cut the third ship in Alaska. So instead of retiring a ship, maybe Spirit adds even more capacity to one of the bigger ports? I do think that Tropicale's entry to the fleet in 2028 will lead to a retirement though
  5. BREAKING: Carnival is sending a Conquest class ship to Baltimore in 2027. Just listened to John Heald's interview with Christine Duffy. Must be putting a shorter funnel on Freedom
  6. Cruise Fever reported that they are adding a pool and beach club to Mahogany Bay, and then renaming the port to Isla Tropicale Roatan. Also said Carnival will be returning to year round cruises from Mobile. As we know Mardi Gras will do the PC 3/4, that could mean Glory will go to Mobile and Spirit can go somewhere else in the winters (San Juan?)
  7. Such a well traveled ship, especially for it's age. It's funny how one of the few places Panorama hasn't been is one so many others have gone to: the caribbean
  8. John Heald said he will fly to Miami next Friday, visit Sunrise on Saturday, visit Celebration on Sunday with Christine and all the beards, and then go to the Seatrade conference on Monday. So I thinking they'll either announce it on Celebration since all the higher ups are supposed to be there (Excel 4 to Miami?) or at the Seatrade conference on Monday.
  9. Cruise Fever had an article that said that they will reveal information about Excel #4 in an event next month. The article also had six other things that will supposedly be revealed then
  10. They are actually considering replacing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge now. The new spans would have more lanes and be a lot taller. The coast guard minimum is 230 feet of clearance. With the Key Bridge rebuild and now this, Baltimore should be able to accommodate huge ships in the future!
  11. There is a rumor that Margaritaville at Sea is adding a 3rd ship, sailing from New Orleans, and it is between the size of Paradise (52,926 GT) and Islander (85,700 GT) Sounds like a match to me
  12. Panorama actually in Alaska next week as a part of it's transpacific. Perfect time for an announcement?
  13. Looks nice! Adventure and Encounter will probably get this as well
  14. Somewhere (I can't remember where) Christine Duffy said that the cay in Half Moon Cay is pronounced as it looks. (Rhymes with day) Of course, that probably doesn't mean much🤷
  15. With the exception of Toscana and Smeralda, the remaining Costa ships were designed by Joe Farcus. They would probably have to be normal Carnival ships (or Luminosa type) rather than Italian style.
  16. Before the fire(s 🙄), Freedom was 208 feet tall. The bridges have a clearance of about 170 feet.
  17. They replaced the capacities of the six Fantasy class ships with just Mardi Gras, Celebration and Luminosa. (With Celebration and Luminosa joining the same year Ecstasy and Sensation left) They then added capacity with Venezia, Jubilee, Firenze, and now Adventure & Encounter.
  18. Take a look at this: Adventure can fit under the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which has a clearance of 160 feet. If Encounter can do the same, then Carnival just got two more ships for the 3 height restricted ports while increasing capacity. Of course, if they did that, it wouldn't be without sending other ships to take their place in Australia.
  19. Deliziosa, Luminosa, and the Spirit class won't be available until the 2030s to 2040s
  20. If anyone is interested... Here is a proposal for the new bridge. The clearance would be 230 feet, up from the old bridge's 185 foot clearance. Also, the main span would be 2230 feet, almost double what it was before.
  21. The rumor was 2029 so the large ship could still be in the works. Carnival did say that there would most likely be a ship a year starting in 2027
  22. Carnival Conquest had to come down to Grand Turk to bring the guests back to Port Canaveral. Freedom then sailed to Freeport looking like this: After 4 canceled cruises, they made a temporary repair And then here are the new wings at the shipyard in Cadiz before it was put on the ship in October
  23. Yes, but the question of this topic was asking where Jubilee docks so I circled the one where Jubilee docks
