Doubling Up in Tampa

Carnival Miracle arrived in its new home port of Tampa on Saturday at the end of a trans-Panama repositioning cruise from Long Beach. Saturday evening it sailed on its first seven-night cruise from Tampa to the western Caribbean.

Carnival Miracle joins Carnival Paradise at Tampa. With the addition of a second year round ship, Carnival expects to carry 280,000 passengers annually from the Gulf Coast port, the most of any cruise line in Tampa.
