Carnival Imagination 's new West Coast voyages will kick off on January 26, 2014, ending a drought car rental deals houston that has plagued the region since cruise ships began pulling out in early 2008, citing unprofitability and instability in the Mexican Riviera market.  But Carnival's commitment to the short-segment car rental deals houston West Coast market, with its mix of ports in California and day-calls on Ensenada, Mexico, are a huge vote of confidence for the region.
