On April 12, 2001, Carnival Cruise Lines, 88,500-ton CARNIVAL SPIRIT departed
Helsinki on its first voyage, a transatlantic crossing to Miami arriving April 24.

Carnival took delivery of its new $375 million 2,124-passenger vessel cruise ship
yesterday on April 11 at the Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Helsinki, Finland. The CARNIVAL
SPIRIT, the 15th vessel in the "Fun Ship" fleet and the first in a new class of ship for the line.

Carnival's order book are three additional "Spirit-class" ships under contract with Kvaerner -- the CARNIVAL PRIDE, which is scheduled to debut January 12, 2002, the CARNIVAL LEGEND in summer 2002 and the CARNIVAL MIRACLE in early 2004.

I live in Brixham, and could not believe my eyes when I looked out the bedroom window to see the spirit anchored in Torbay, Devon!!!
She did not hang around for very long, unfortunately not enough time to rush down to the harbour and take some photo's.

Thanks Malcolm...

The wife and I will be on the Spirit for a Hawaiian cruise 9/26-10/8 and we can't wait! I hope all the bugs are worked out of the ship before then??

Under your posted name, it says cruise director. Are you an actual cruise director? For Carnival? If so, are you the CD on the Spririt, on the Hawaii trip? If so, I'll have to track you down. It's our 7th wedding anniversary (we got married on Carnival's Sensation) and I'd love to get the wife involved in some one of the cruise director's little skits...she embarasses easily and I'm a big ham!

Hope to see you on board!

Hi Billybob, I'm not even employed in the travel business!

The term 'Cruise Director' was an honour bestowed apon me from 'Joe' the creator of CruiseTalk.

As for 'why?', I think it had something to do with the quantity of my posts? (Those CruiseTalkers that are not members of my fan club, would agree that it was not for the 'quality' of my posts!;-))

Geno-r, I wish I could get some cheap tickets! As for being a real 'Cruise Director', it's too hard a job!
