Carnival reduces Europe sailings
Carnival Cruise Lines has announced a last-minute reduction in its European schedule for next year.
It has cancelled five sailings in the Mediterreanean which were scheduled for the 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend between September and early December.
Instead, the ship will return to the Caribbean earlier than planned.
Cancelled trips were departures scheduled for Sept. 25, Oct. 7 and 31, and Nov. 12 and 27, 2013.
In their place, the Carnival Legend will do:
– A 15-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Dover to New York starting Sept. 25. The ship will call at Dublin; Glasgow (Greenock), Scotland; Belfast ; Reykjavik, Qaqortoq, Greenland; and St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada before arriving in New York Oct. 10.
– An 11-day Caribbean voyage from New York to Tampa starting Oct. 10 that features stops at Grand Turk; Aruba; Curacao; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; and Grand Cayman.
– A five-day Western Caribbean cruise beginning and ending in Tampa that kicks off Oct. 21. The ship will stop at Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
– An eight-day Caribbean sailing out of Tampa departing Oct. 26 that includes calls at Grand Cayman, Mahogany Bay (Roatan), Belize and Costa Maya.
From November 3, the Carnival Legend will operate seven-day Caribbean sailings out of Tampa.
Itineraries for a second ship scheduled to be in Europe in 2013, the Carnival Sunshine, remain as scheduled.
Passengers on the five cancelled Carnival Legend cruises can switch to any other Carnival cruise in Europe in 2013 and will receive a shipboard credit of $200 per cabin.
Passengers can also choose a full refund or a credit for a future Carnival trip.
