Four Carnival Cruise Vessels to Resume Operations in December
This December, Carnival Cruise is bringing in four vessels in service while they take one vessel out of service for emergency repairs. The cruise company will be closing in 2021 with 18 cruise ships running on revenue operations. The four vessels that are resuming service are CARNIVAL RADIANCE, CARNIVAL CONQUEST, CARNIVAL LIBERTY, and Carnival Sunshine.
CARNIVAL CONQUEST is a 2002 built ship and has a capacity of 2974 passengers. This Italian-built vessel will commence its journey on 13th December 2021 and will be running a program of short cruises to the Bahamas and Mexico from Miami. Coming back to service after a pause of 21-months, CARNIVAL CONQUEST’s first cruise will be having four nights and port calls at Bimini and Princess Cays. The vessel will also be visiting Half Moon Cay, Nassau, and Cozumel on its three and four-night itineraries.
CARNIVAL RADIANCE is a 2000 built ship and has a capacity of 2984 passengers. Formerly known as Carnival Victory, the vessel undertook a complete makeover at Navantia and came out as “CARNIVAL RADIANCE”. The refit started in March 2020 and was expected to be complete within six weeks but due to pandemic-induced delays, the vessel makeover was finally completed in October 2021 and now the vessel will be taking its first cruise on 13th December. The itinerary of the vessel mentions short cruises to Baja California, Mexico, and for the inaugural season, and offering a year-round schedule of Baja Mexico cruises from Long Beach Cruise Terminal is also there.
Carnival Horizon is going for an unscheduled dry dock to fix its propulsion issue and CARNIVAL LIBERTY and Carnival Sunshine will be filling in for her. Both the cruise ships will be picking up Carnival Horizon’s guests scheduled for 19th Dec, 26th Dec, and 31st Dec departure.
With its four additions in December, there will be a total of 18 ships serving the guests of Carnival Cruise by year-end.
