The Mail Buoy Episode 123

Posted by Michael on 08/25/08

This week it was the Carnival Cruise Lines news show with three ships moving and one more getting some revised itineraries.

Carnival Fantasy will be moving to Mobile next year, being replaced by Carnival Triumph in New Orleans. Meanwhile Carnival Holiday will join the Iberocruceros fleet. Carnival Elation’s 3 and 4 day sailings from San Diego are being tweaked as well.

Disney Cruise Line has applied for Glacier Bay access beginning in 2010, and cruise lines have addressed the concerns raised earlier about Ocean Ranger’s access to shipboard operations.

Finally a proposal by the US Coast Guard to revise stability models may cause some passenger vessels to reduce their passenger capacity.

Speaking of the US Coast Guard, this past week I got the rare opportunity to sail onboard the USCGC Eagle the largest and only square rigged barque in US Government service. It’s a cruise of a different sort that we’re talking about this week. Photos from the trip will be up in the photo gallery very soon.
