Carnival Takes on San Diego
August 20, 2008 by Paula
Carnival Cruise Lines are to send Carnival Elation on a brand new three and four day cruise from San Diego due to begin in February 2009.
All three day cruises will depart on Thursdays to Ensenada and all four day cruises will depart on Sundays and visit two ports, these ports being Ensenada and Catalina Island.
Carnival already offers a similar and successful experience onboard Carnival Paradise. These short cruises are from Southern California and depart on Fridays and Mondays.
“Between the two ships, consumers will have a choice of two very popular departure points, Long Beach and San Diego, as well as four different departure days each week to select from,” said Terry Thornton, Carnival’s senior vice president of marketing planning. “These will be the only ships in the Southern California market offering three and four-day cruises starting in 2009, and with short getaways currently a trend among North American consumers, combined with the inherent value of a cruise, these voyages represent an extremely desirable vacation choice,” he added.
