Thread: Elation to h ome port in San Diego Year Round

From Carnivals website:

11/02/2006
MIAMI (November 2, 2006) – Carnival Cruise Lines, the world’s largest cruise operator, will launch San Diego’s first year-round cruise schedule with four- and five-day Baja Mexico voyages aboard the 2,052-passenger “Fun Ship” Elation beginning in June 2007.

On this program – the only one of its kind from Southern California – the Elation will depart Thursdays on four-day cruises to Cabo San Lucas and on Mondays and Saturdays on five-day cruises to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, on a rotating schedule.

Short cruises are the fastest growing segment of the cruise industry and Carnival pioneered the four- and five-day schedule which fits in perfectly with today’s busy lifestyles. Four-day cruises operating Thursday to Monday provide the ideal “long weekend getaway” while five-day voyages offer a comprehensive, multi-port cruise experience all in less than a week’s time.

Reservations open today for the four and five day cruises, the first of which deparats on June 2.

This should be welcomed news for Carnival lovers in the San Diego area!

Yes - I was happy for them when I read the news.... it DOES seem like a good mover for Carnival.

I've never been on Carnival, now that it has more choices and days to choose from maybe we will try it.

If you do, be sure and let us know what you think about the departure port, the ship, and the itinerary!

The repositioning cruise sounds AWESOME !!!!!!

Wow!
Thanks for bringing that to everyone's attention.

We rarely get repos out of Pt Canaveral. I'll bet lots of Central Floridians will grab cabins on that one!

I would love to do this sailing, I love the itinerary

I does sound nice, doesn't it?
