Want to get away? My escape is to cruise and I’m always trying to get everybody to try it just once. Once you step foot on to the ship, your vacations will never be the same. I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life but cruising is my favorite. I love that you get to spend a few days on the boat exploring everything it has to offer then arrive on an exotic destination without wasting any travel time. The boat is always full of more stuff to do than we can keep up with so no matter who we travel with, every body is always having a good time.

While there is a port in Galveston, I am super excited that Carnival has announced they will be returning to the Port of San Diego in late 2019 after being away for seven years. Carnival Miracle will be stationed at that port and will operate a winter schedule of three- to 15-day voyages from San Diego from December 2019 to February 2020. The schedule kicks off with a seven-day cruise to the Mexican Riviera departing Dec. 1, 2019, and also includes two longer-length Carnival Journeys voyages – 14- and 15-day Hawaii adventures visiting popular destinations throughout the Aloha State departing Dec. 8, 2019 and Jan. 17, 2020, respectively.
The Carnival Miracle approaches Freeport in the Bahamas. Built in Finland for $375 million, the ship is 960 feet long, has 12 decks and can carry more than 2,100 passengers. Carnival Miracle has 16 bars and lounges, three restaurants, a 14,500-square-foot spa and four swimming pools. (Photo by Andy Newman/CCL)
Carnival Miracle’s San Diego-based program also includes two five-day voyages that spend two days in Cabo San Lucas departing Dec. 22, 2019 and Jan. 12, 2020, along with two three-day getaways visiting Ensenada Dec. 27, 2019 and Jan. 3, 2020. There’s also a special four-day New Year’s Baja Mexico cruise departing Dec. 30, 2019, as well as a six-day cruise that includes two days in Cabo San Lucas and a day-long visit to Ensenada departing Jan. 6, 2020.
The schedule concludes with a 13-day Panama Canal Carnival Journeys cruise that departs San Diego Feb. 1 and arrives in Miami Feb. 14, 2020. If you’re looking to get away, this is an amazing opportunity to get one of the first to sail out of the Port of San Diego with Carnival.
