Your Ship
Carnival Spirit
The prototype of the class, eight years an Australian ship, and now the reason Mobile has cruises

- Based in Sydney from 2012 to 2020, Carnival's first ship homeported outside North America year-round

- Year-round; April to May and September to October are quietest
- Typical Length
- 7 nights inter-island, or 14 to 17 round-trip from the mainland
