Spoke with my TA yesterday about the Spirit. Sent me faxed copies out of the new brochere which were hard to read. Should have a new brochere in hand soon. She's going to do some nice itineraries with the Panama, Hawaii, and 8 night Western (St Marteen, Barbados and Martinique) and Southern Caribbean (Belize City, Limon). Finally something different for Carnival. I was looking at the 14 day Panama on October 20th...prices quoted are WAY high right now in my opinion. From what I can tell a totally different product for Carnival. Main pool areas configured differently and aft pool with host the famous Carnival slide.
2 decks of bars and lounges. Only one deck of cabins below the promenede decks (decks 3 and 4) and I believe 5 decks of cabins before you arrive at the next entertainment/eating areas. Alternative resturaunt surrounds the base of the Carnival funnel. Believe 80% of the cabins are outside with around 80% of those having balconies. Anxious to get the new brochere!

I found out that Carnival has a special brochure for just the Spirit. I called two days ago (to Carnival) and they are mailing one to me. Once received, I'll let you know what I find out.

Just looked at the Carnival brochure, and it looks like the Spirit only has one dining room, plus the lido restaurant and the alternative dining. Is this right? Also, interestingly, it appears as though the galley for the main dining room is below. That's got to be unique.

Nathan, you're right. The Spirit will have only one dining room located on two decks; the galley is located one deck below and it's connected to the dining room with escalators.
