Switcheroo with Carnival ships Miracle and Legend

Carnival Cruises announced that they will be shuffling the homeport assignments for their 2124-passenger sister ships, the Carnival Miracle and the Carnival Legend, beginning in the spring of 2007. Although the ships are similar, their individualized decor will give repeat passengers in their respective homeports a different cruise experience.

The Carnival Legend currently sails from New York and Ft. Lauderdale. She will be deployed to Tampa for year-round seven-night cruises to the Western Caribbean, beginning on April 15, 2007. The Carnival Miracle, currently based in Tampa, will be repositioned to New York, from which she will operate eight-day voyages to the Eastern Caribbean, beginning April 25. On October 22, she will move to Ft. Lauderdale, where she will sail alternate weeks to the Western and Eastern Caribbean.

Because the Miracle and Legend are sister ships, all passengers booked on cruises sailing after the switch will be accommodated on the new ship in the same stateroom as they had reserved on the original ship.
