Carnival Spirit Returns to Mobile for Winter

The Carnival Spirit returned to Mobile earlier this month to kick off its 2026-27 winter season sailing from Alabama.

Returning to its Gulf Coast homeport following a summer deployment in Alaska, the vessel’s first sailing of the season was a seven-night cruise that sailed to the Bahamas and Florida with visits to Key West, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key.

The winter deployment entails a series of cruises to destinations in the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Florida, highlighted by a 14-night cruise roundtrip from Mobile on January 17, 2027, visiting Eastern and Southern Caribbean destinations including Turks & Caicos, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Aruba, Curaçao, Jamaica and more.

Before arriving in Mobile, the Spirit’s 15-day repositioning voyage from Seattle was marked by missed calls and delays due to technical problems and bad weather.
