Congratulation on winning the Fantasy 2001. That is a very desirable & scarce pin.

 

It is hard to put the "rare" designation on either since more than 10,000 ++++

were in all likelihood produced of each, and if the truth were know probably closer to 50,000 were produced. The Tropicale also was produced with 2000.

 

Now, in the number of pins that reach the secondary market (EBay) that figure might be classified as "rare". as very, very few are sold, and the few that are offered are bring premium prices. In the past year the typical prices realized have been:

Festivale............ $ 100.00 to $ 150.00

Tropicale.............$ 100.00...solid

Tropicale "2000"....$ 50.00

Jubilee................ $ 75.00 to $ 100.00

Jubilee "2000"...... $ 50.00

Jubilee "2001"...... $ 50.00

Thats expenise! and wat about the Celebration pins?

Yes, the Festivale had pins like your picture below.

Yes, the Tropicale had pins like your picture below.

 

No, the TSS Mardi Gras did NOT have pins like your picture below.

No, the TSS Carnnivale did NOT have pins like your picture below.

 

When Carnival purchased Princess in 1994 Princess had a Captain’s Circle which provided benefits for repeat customers. Carnival then formed their past guest program for repeat customers (2 to 9 cruises) and a Concierge or VIP designation for those who had completed 10 or more cruises. Unlike Princess who used one pin design fleet wide for the different levels obtained, Carnival decided to have a pin design with their distinctive “whale tail” with each ship having its own named pin. This would be given out to all past guest with an invitation to a “Past Guest Party”.

 

 

This basic design was unchanged from the inception in 1994 until 2000, when, “2000” was added in the red funnel area. This was also the design in “2001” when the pins were also dated. Although only 8 or 9 years old the dated pins are very elusive and desirable today.

 

 

Carnival started naming the newer ships after the Fantasy Class with double names in 1996 with the Carnival Destiny. In 2007 when Carnival started refitting and changing the name of the Fantasy Class ships to include the prefix “Carnival”. The ships refitted and renamed in 2007 were: Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Elation, and the Carnival Paradise. In 2008 Carnival refitted & renamed : Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Ecstasy, Carnival Sensation, & Carnival Fascination. In early 2009 Carnival, after a dry dock of the Holiday, renamed it the Carnival Holiday and issued “past guest pins” with the new name.

 

Carnival stopped issuing pins to “past guest” in late 2009, and at present limit the free pins to the Concierge or VIP Members.

My first Cruise was on the Carnival Triumph August 29th-September 5th 2009 Canada/New England out of New York

Carnival Triumph is a Triumph Class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Lines and has a "Great Cities of the World" theme.

Its amenities include the Paris Dining Room, the London Dining room, the Rome Lounge, Club Rio featuring music, and a workout center and the Spa Carnival. The Carnival Triumph currently sails 4,5 and 7 day voyages from New Orleans, Louisiana to the Western Caribbean and the Bahamas. The Carnival Triumph is structurally identical to its sister ship, the Carnival Victory, and differs from its class's namesake, the Carnival Destiny, by the addition of extra balcony cabins on the Lido deck and various changes to placement and shapes of its public areas.

The ship has one of the first sea-going cellular systems which allow guests to use their own personal cellular phones to make calls directly from the ship at any time.[5]

As of November 2009 the Carnival Triumph operates four-, five-, and seven-day cruises out of New Orleans, LA. The Triumph introduced a new seven-day eastern and "exotic western" Caribbean schedules to complement the line’s popular four- and five-day cruises to Mexico. The Carnival Fantasy, the previous ship sailing from New Orleans, operates four- and five-day cruises out of Mobile, Alabama.
