Carnival Announces New Seven-Day Cruises from Mobile

mercedes · April 22, 2009

Carnival Cruise Lines began accepting reservations this week for a new series of seven-day western Caribbean voyages from Mobile, Ala., taking place next year.

The new weeklong cruises will depart the Alabama Cruise Terminal May 8 and 15, July 3 and 10, and Oct. 23 and 30, 2010, and feature three tropical Caribbean ports of call: Montego Bay, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico.

Designed to complement the line’s popular four- and five-day schedule from Mobile, the new seven-day cruises will be offered aboard the Carnival Fantasy, which late last year underwent an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation which included an expansive Carnival WaterWorks aqua park, new Serenity adults-only retreat and redesigned tropical-themed main pool area.

Carnival Fantasy’s new seven-day itinerary is the latest chapter in the line’s continued expansion at the Port of Mobile, which has garnered excellent consumer feedback since Carnival launched the port’s first year-round cruise program aboard the Holiday in 2004. Carnival Fantasy will replace the Holiday in November 2009, representing a 42 percent capacity increase.

In addition to the new open-deck upgrades, Carnival Fantasy’s suites, along with its 12,000-square-foot Spa Carnival facility and formal and casual dining venues, were renovated and cosmetic enhancements were made to virtually every public area. A new "Circle C" facility catering to 12- to 14-year-olds was added, as well.

We didnt book these 7 days out of Mobile but we did book the inaugural 6 day cruise in Nov. 10th, 09! This is going to be a VERY long 6 months! :thumbup:

We're so glad Carnival is bring the Fantasy to Mobile. We have been stuck with the Holiday for a long time. When I say stuck, I mean we dont like to drive far for a cruise so the Holiday was our only choice for us. Mobile is only about a 30min drive from out home. :rolleyes2:
