Carnival Cruise Line To Return With New Destinations In October

Carnival Cruise Line has announced new destinations for Carnival Spirit, which is expected to come to Mobile in October, WKRG reports. The new itineraries include five-, eight- and 12-day cruises to parts of the Caribbean such as Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and the Bahamas. Along with these new destinations, Bradley Byrne, president of the Mobile Chamber, says the increased number of destinations means the city will see more money. “So the economic impact of this new cruise ship is $12 million overall to the Mobile area,” Byrne said. “But it’s $6 million directly to the City of Mobile, which helps them pay for what they’ve had to board to build and to modernize the terminal.” He added that the cruise line will bring more jobs to the city.
