Kentchikan Posted July 15, 2014 #201 Share Posted July 15, 2014 We went onto a little island where vendors were spread out on blankets selling embrodried blouses and all kinds of hand work. It was a most interesting trip. I am so sorry to see the ship sunk! She was a beauty and I would love to find another ship like that one for a really nice cruise rather than the now 'shorts and flip flop' type cruises being offered with so many on board! Sigh for the good old days. Amen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best things about CC is the great collective knowledge According to Wikipedia (For what it's worth), she is sailing as the MS Henna for HNA Tourism out of China.

The public rooms have the same names at least on the deck plans.

KLD1019 Posted August 21, 2014 #211 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Funny i found this and the last few recent posts are of/about the Jubilee!! that was my very first cruise and had me hooked ever since!! Sailed on her January 16-20, 2003. I actually performed on stage during the cruise, along with the group i was with! it was a great privilege to be invited to do so! 11 years later, i took my 2nd cruise. And let me tell you, it was no easy task getting my past cruise recognition and a VIFP#!! took me 3 different Carnival reps, 1 telling me there was no way i cruised on the Jubilee because it was retired and there was nothing they could do to help me, despite me telling him i had pictures to prove it with the big blue letters JUBILEE on the ship. :rolleyes: Edited August 21, 2014 by KLD1019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Jubilee, Holiday, Celebration, and the Fantasy class ships were designed in the 1980's, generally only the best suites had balconies, if even at all.

grannybush Posted October 19, 2014 #214 Share Posted October 19, 2014 We travelled on the Nordic Empress twice. Loved it. Our first cruise was on the Nordic Empress. We loved it also. That was before sea pass cards. Everything was paid in cash. Grannybush Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh for the good old days. Princess has a trip from Tahati to Hawaii that stops on Christmas Island (Karabuta, there are 2 Christmas Islands) It is not much of a port but there have these type of things on land. It is not developed, but a great Cultural expierence. It is a cresent shaped island. A lot of people did not like it, but I found it a great time. It reminded me of the africian villages you see in the adds. Very poor. No public electricity. Many people still living in huts. It was where the British had their HQ will doing atomic testing in the Pacific. You still see some quanset huts that have been taken over. Much more.

A2Mich Posted March 1, 2015 #221 Share Posted March 1, 2015 But under different names. Correct--but the ships are still around. They may have changed a bit over the years. I may have misinterpreted the original thought behind this thread. I was under the impression we were discussing ships that no longer are in existence at all.
