NEW 88,500-TON CARNIVAL MIRACLE TO OPERATE SPECIAL THREE-DAY BAHAMAS CRUISE
FROM JACKSONVILLE FEB. 27, 2004
Newly Added Voyage Kicks Off Line's First-Ever 'Fun Ship'
Cruise Program From Emerging Florida Port
MIAMI (09/22/03) - Carnival Cruise Lines has scheduled a special
three-day cruise from Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 27 - March 1, 2004, aboard
the 88,500-ton Carnival Miracle, the line's newest "Fun Ship" currently
under construction in Helsinki, Finland.
The three-day inaugural cruise precedes a previously announced schedule of
11 three- to six-day voyages aboard the Miracle operating March 1 - April
17, 2004. Three-day cruises visit Freeport, The Bahamas; five-day cruises
stop at Key West, Fla., and Nassau, The Bahamas; and six-day voyages feature
Cozumel, Freeport and Costa Maya or Playa del Carmen.
"We're very excited about bringing the new Carnival Miracle to
Jacksonville. In addition to providing a value-packed weekend getaway, this
three-day voyage offers consumers an opportunity to be among the first to
sail from our newest homeport aboard this spectacular 'floating resort,'"
said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.
The 20th vessel in Carnival Cruise Lines' fleet, Carnival Miracle
will feature 13 passenger decks housing four swimming pools, a
14,500-square-foot health club, and three restaurants, including a two-level
formal dining room, an expansive poolside eatery offering casual
alternatives, and an upscale steakhouse-style supper club.
Sixteen lounges and bars, with dramatic interiors inspired by famous
fictional characters, will also be featured. An 1,800-square-foot children's
play area, part of the line's top-rated "Camp Carnival" children's program,
and a high-tech video arcade, will be included, as well. Eighty percent of
the ship's 1,062 staterooms will offer an ocean view with 80 percent of
those featuring private balconies.
Following the Miracle sailings, Carnival's 1,452-passenger Holiday will kick
off Jacksonville's first year-round cruise program with a six-day voyage
departing Oct. 17, 2004. The ship will then launch four- and five-day
service from Jacksonville Oct. 23, 2004.
Carnival is currently accepting reservations for all of its various
departures from Jacksonville.
Prices for the Carnival Miracle's Feb. 27 three-day voyage from
Jacksonville begin at $399 per person based on double occupancy.
If purchased via Carnival's "Fun Finance Plan (SM)," which enables guests to
purchase a "Fun Ship" cruise over 24 monthly installments, prices begin at
$19 per month (based on a 24-month payment term at the lowest annual
percentage rate available).
Actual "Fun Finance Plan" monthly payments and terms may vary according to
the applicant's credit qualifications. Valid for U.S. individual bookings
only. Certain other restrictions apply. Special rates for third and fourth
guests sailing in the same stateroom are available, as well.
