As we told you Monday night -- a team of cruise and tourism professionals -- along with Mayor Sandy Stimpson are down in Miami at the annual Seatrade Cruise Global event. Over the last two days -- they’ve met with Carnival and two other big players -- all expressing a lot of interest in the proven potential the Port City has to offer.
“This was an experiment with Carnival -- if you look at what is offered in New Orleans and what’s offered at Tampa -- they don’t offer the same class ship doing these itineraries. So we were able to show to Carnival - we told Carnival - you give us a nice ship with exciting itineraries and we will fill it,” said Joe Snowden, City of Mobile Executive Director of Transportation & Maritime.
“They’ve already done their research -- and they’ve actually sailed out of Mobile. So, Margaritaville at Sea -- they’re executive staff knows Mobile. This is the first time where we’ve had heavy engagement. Very promising -- very, very promising,” said Snowden. “So as they look at all of the numbers of all of the different ships that they have we were ranked #1 with the surveys that people sailing out of Mobile -- we had the best overall southern hospitality. The scores showed that we were #1 in the fleet,” said Snowden.
