Carnival Corp. ordered three new vessels for two of its brands: two 3,250-passenger ships for AIDA Cruises (based in Germany) and one 3,700-passenger ship for Costa Cruises (an OSSN supplier member!). The Costa vessel will debut in October 2014 to replace capacity lost with some of the line's older ships (e.g., the "Costa Marina" will leave the fleet this November). The AIDA ships will arrive in March 2015 and March 2016.

Carnival Cruise Lines canceled the remaining seven-day cruise schedule for Jacksonville (July 23 and 30 and Sept. 17 and 24), opting instead to replace them with more of the four- and five-day sailings it's offering aboard the "Carnival Fascination" (pictured). The four-day itinerary includes Freeport and Nassau stops, while the five-day schedule features either Nassau and Key West or Nassau and Half Moon Cay

Carnival Cruise Lines confirms its ship "Carnival Pride" (pictured) was held overnight in Port Canaveral last night to repair anchor system damage resulting from a strong wind gust late Wednesday afternoon. The ship was docked there as part of its current seven-night cruise from Baltimore when strong winds began blowing the ship away from the dock. The captain released the anchor (standard operating procedures in such situations), but the sudden drop damaged the system that controls the anchor, requiring repairs in Port Canaveral that evening. The ship departed early yesterday, about 12 hours behind schedule, forcing the cancellation of the planned call in Nassau. The ship went to Freeport yesterday instead, and passengers were given a $25 onboard credit. Carnival

Carnival Cruise Lines reports that its new ship, the 3,690-passenger "Carnival Magic" (depicted here), successfully finished its sea trials in the Adriatic Sea to test its mechanical and navigation systems. The ship is now receiving the final interior finishes before it's delivered to Carnival in late April (before its May 1 debut in Europe). After its inaugural Mediterranean season this summer and fall, the ship will move to Galveston in mid-November to operate seven-day Caribbean voyages.
