I currently have a Cruise Group (13 cabins)  who are on the Carnival Destiny as I am writing this blog. It is a gorgeous ship just as it is.  I recently found out that the Carnival Destiny is being Refurbished and will undergo a 49 day $155-million dollar Refit in April 2013.  It will then be renamed the Carnival Sunshine  The Ship will have the Carnival Funship 2.0 Enhancements.

Disney Cruiseline Comes to New York

Thursday, March 1, the Disney Fantasy was Christened in New York City by Godmother Mariah Carey, before an enthusiastic crowd. My husband saw her sail into port earlier this week and he said she had a grand welcoming.


The Disney Fantasy will be sailing 7 day itineraries out of Port Canaveral and her maiden voyage will be on March 3, 2012 will be sailing alternate Cruises to both the Western and Eastern Carribean Islands including their private Castaway Island.

But the Disney  excitement still remains in New York!  Because the Disney Magic will be sailing from New York Port. Several Cruises are available.  8 day cruise to the Bahamas, a 5 day cruise to Canada/New England and 2 night  weekend cruises.  This is a cost effective way to enjoy the spectacular experience of a Disney Cruise and forego the airfare to Port Canaveral., for those who live in the New York Tristate Area.  This means big savings to families who can spend more on the Cruise.  Disney Magic Starts sailing from New York, May 2012.
