San Diego to soon feature year-round cruise schedule
Starting in June of next year, cruise travelers looking for "fun" will be
able to take advantage of San Diego's first year-round cruise schedule,
courtesy of Carnival Cruise Lines. The 2,052-passenger Carnival "Fun
Ship" Elation will take vacationers on 4 and 5-day Baja Mexico cruises.
The Elation will offer 78 voyages annually from San Diego, joining the 2,
124-passenger Carnival Spirit, which has operated seasonal 8-day Mexican
Riviera cruises from San Diego since 2004.
When the Elation begins its year-round service, Carnival is expected to

other cruise operator. The port is within a day's drive for many
residents of the western United States, and San Diego offers a variety of
convenient air options with the airport only a few minutes away from the
