Thanks, LHP!

I had a strong hunch it was coming soon. The brochures were a good hint. And when they went through the process to re-name the Fantasy ships to Carnival Fantasy etc., they didn't spend the money to re-name the Holiday.

I can't help but wonder what ship (or ships) it will be. I wish there was some way I could watch the news briefing.

i am hoping they put a 7 day out of Mobile, Mobile is so easy embarking. would love to see that.

I am getting strong hints the news article is correct about the Sensation going to Mobile. I guess we will find out tomorrow. If anyone knows how to get a live internet feed to the news briefing please pass it along.

I have a gut feeling about the Sensation as well...since it is going into drydock in January.

I think the Fantasy will stay in New Orleans and that they will also bring the Triumph for a 7 day....IF New Orleans port authorities have not messed that up with their poor handling of the River closure issue.

Fantasy will be going to Mobile in the Fall of 2009.

so much for my guess about the Sensation.

John Heald just posted it on his blog.

I just read it. He had the wrong RCI ship name. The Rhapsody (or Rappingsody as he calls it) Of The Seas is in Alaska right now, not Amsterdam.

His note still could mean a Fantasy class ship and not the Fantasy itself.
