According to visit Mobile -- the cruise ship brings in 200,000 guests a year. As the Ecstasy is set to retire from Carnival’s fleet -- so-called “cruise junkies” have been making their way to the Port City for one last trip. The Port City will have to wait another year for a cruise ship to return -- Carnival’s Spirit set to take it’s first voyage out of Mobile in October 2023, which will sail here 6 months out of the year -- instead of year-round -- and split the rest of the time with Alaska in the spring and summer.
