jimbo5544 Posted September 20, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Question is when will they take ownership and will there be a European season or TA. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Garth2 Posted September 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Assuming the passenger capacity is the same or greater than Mardi Gras, which is almost 5,300, this is why Carnival has staggered arrival appointments and doesn't want everyone to show up at 11:00. Link to post Share on other sites

Bases5 Posted September 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What's your best guess on her name. Do you think they will keep naming them after there first 3 ships Link to post Share on other sites
MEUB1112 Posted September 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just my two cents, I bet it will be Carnival (like in Rio). It just seems to be the theme. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo5544 Posted September 21, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Very pleased that the sister ship is in Miami. There was some talk here she was going to Australia or China, but I poopoo’d that then. Edited September 21, 2019 by jimbo5544 Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, it was foolish to think otherwise, there are good reasons operationally as well (infrastructure). Edited September 21, 2019 by jimbo5544 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, you know I stared at the sentence as it looked wrong. Should have looked up the correct spelling. I was thinking Carnivale as that was a Carnival ship and it fit the theme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think he meant THAT particular new ship. He knows Carnival has put new ships in many ports. That said, I have my doubts whether the west coast can support the Panorama with just one itinerary, but we will see. Link to post Share on other sites

Then there's the two Hawaii journey cruises in April and October. Link to post Share on other sites

It is the other 50+ weeks I am much more concerned with, esp in the colder months. Link to post Share on other sites

I am worried about having a place to park should I choose to do this again. Link to post Share on other sites

They had to significantly discount rooms to fill her. That is why they brought a new ship back to the east coast. Link to post Share on other sites
