Carnival’s exit from Mobile means the city will be without an approximately $6 million revenue source for the coming fiscal year.
Some couples, who were engaged on the ship years ago, will also be present during the ship’s final sendoff before it’s retired.It will also be an unusual celebration for a city where cruising takes place.
The Carnival Spirit, the first non-Fantasy class ship to sail out of Mobile in years, will launch out of the downtown cruise terminal for its first voyage on October 22, 2023. Carnival Cruise Line is also committing to at least one voyage each year from Mobile to Alaska, where the Carnival Spirit will be homeported during summer months. It’s unclear when the first Alaskan cruise will take place.
But Sue Sisak said she is concerned the lack of summer cruising out of Mobile will adversely affect families whose children are off of school during the summer months. Clark, the president & CEO with Visit Mobile, said the Carnival Spirit’s arrival gives Mobile an opportunity to prove to Carnival that it can host larger ships that can attract travelers with more spending capabilities.
The cruise terminal has a staff of five full-time, and three part-time employees. In 2023, they will be in charge of maintaining the facility and overseeing other events throughout the year. In past years, when the cruise terminal was not hosting a cruise ship, the venue was utilized primarily for weddings and reunions.
