Mobile's First Year-Round Cruise Program!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from Carnival and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Carnival's 'Fun Ship' Holiday To Launch Mobile's First Year-Round Cruise Program In Fall 2004 MIAMI, Dec. 16 Carnival Cruise Lines, the world's largest cruise operator, will launch the first year-round cruise program from the Port of Mobile when the 1,452-passenger Holiday begins four- and five-day western Caribbean cruises in October 2004. On this new program, the 46,052-ton "Fun Ship," which operated a series of voyages from Mobile in spring 2002, will sail on four-day cruises to Cozumel and five-day cruises to Cozumel and Calica/Playa del Carmen or Costa Maya beginning Oct. 16, 2004. Including the Holiday's new schedule from Mobile, Carnival will operate from 19 different North American homeports -- the most in the cruise industry. "When we inaugurated 'Fun Ship' cruising from Mobile aboard the Holiday in 2002, the response was simply overwhelming. We anticipate the same level of success when the Holiday returns to Mobile to operate the port's first year- round cruise program," said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO. "The Port of Mobile is an ideal cruise departure point, offering a convenient location that is within a day's drive of thousands of southeastern U.S. residents. That, combined with the tremendous support and enthusiasm from port, city and community officials, particularly Mayor Mike Dow, Director of Waterfront, Cruise Development and Special Projects Al St. Clair, Chairman of the Cruise Task Force Mike Lee, and Retirement Systems of Alabama CEO Dr. David Bronner, solidified our decision to deploy the Holiday from Mobile," he added. Mobile's First Year-Round Cruise Program On Oct. 16, 2004, the Holiday will kick off Mobile's first year-round cruise program, consisting of four- and five-day cruises to the western Caribbean. Four-day cruises provide the ideal weekend getaway, departing Thursdays and returning Mondays. Voyages call at Cozumel, a tropical island known for its excellent shopping, gorgeous white-sand beaches, and legendary watering holes. Two different five-day cruises will also be offered, each offering guests the opportunity to visit two sunny, tropical Caribbean destinations in less than a week's time. The five-day itinerary departing Mondays and returning Saturdays will feature Cozumel and Calica/Playa del Carmen; while five-day cruises departing Saturdays and returning Thursdays visit Cozumel and Costa Maya. In addition to beautiful beaches, both Calica/Playa del Carmen and Costa Maya offer a diversity of watersports opportunities, including scuba diving, snorkeling and kayaking. Signature "Fun Ship" Amenities The Holiday offers a wide range of "resort-style" facilities and features. Housed within the ship's eight passenger decks are three swimming pools, a cascading water slide, an Internet cafe, and a comprehensive golf program offering professional instruction both aboard ship and during golf excursions. A children's play area, part of the line's top-rated "Camp Carnival" program, is featured, as well. Three restaurants, including two main dining rooms, a casual poolside eatery offering breakfast, lunch and dinner alternatives and a 24-hour pizzeria, and complimentary 24-hour stateroom service are also available. Ten lounges, bars and nightspots, including a piano bar and a multi-level theater showcasing lavish Vegas-style productions are also featured. Pricing and Reservations Carnival is currently accepting reservations on the Holiday's 2004 departures from Mobile. Prices for the four- and five-day cruises start at $329 per person. These cruises can also be purchased through Carnival's "Fun Finance Plan(SM)," which enables consumers to extend their cruise payments over 24 monthly installments. Certain restrictions apply. Round-trip air transportation supplements from a variety of North American gateways and special rates for third and fourth guests sailing in the same stateroom are also available. For additional information and reservations contact any travel agent. Carnival Cruise Lines is a proud member of the exclusive World's Leading Cruise Lines. Our exclusive alliance also includes Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Cunard Line, Costa Cruises, Windstar Cruises and The Yachts of Seabourn. Sharing a passion to please each guest, and a commitment to quality and value, our member lines appeal to a wide range of lifestyles and budgets.

Mobile's First Year-Round Cruise Program!
Ray,
This is outstanding news. I now have a cruise ship just a few hours away, on the other end of the interstate. And I mean actually at the other end of the road! From my house it is 5 miles to I-65, hang a left, and drive for 350 miles to Mobile, then take the right to the state docks. I wish it was a newer ship, but I'll take what I can get for a long weekend cruise. Dave Beers "Ray Goldenberg" wrote in message ...
