'CARNIVAL VISTA' TO HOME PORT IN MIAMI

Carnival has announced that Carnival Vista, its largest cruise ship to date, is making Miami its home port year-round beginning in December, 2016. Vista is slated to operate an inaugural season of European cruises May to October 2016 before re-positioning to New York, then launching year-round Caribbean cruises from Miami in November 2016.

Here are more details from Carnival:

"Carnival Vista kicks off its new schedule from PortMiami with a special four-day cruise to Grand Turk departing Nov. 29, 2016. The ship will then launch year-round six- and eight-day cruises beginning with an eight-day voyage departing Dec. 3, 2016. Six-day cruises feature Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, while a mix of different eight-day itineraries visit some of the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations, including Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Kitts, St. Maarten and La Romana (Dominican Republic).

"Prior to the start-up of year-round service from Miami, Carnival Vista will operate a pair of voyages round-trip from New York beginning with a three-day cruise November 4-7, 2016, followed by an 11-day voyage departing Nov. 7, 2016."
