I designed my own Carnival ship for fun

[RBCL]

 

Here's my design: Wish Class, which consists of two ships, Carnival Wish and Carnival Wonder.

 

I've actually combined three Carnival ships together; Dream, Pride and Splendor.

 

If you would like me to list the amenities I plan to put on her, comment! :p

 

PS - Please don't criticize (sp?) about it, I did it for fun and wanted to show you guys! :cool:

Cool, Very Cool. See you found someone that has the same thoughts about ship as you do. How did you do it ? What programs do you use.

[ladysail2]

I love it!! Very imaginative of you!! I think I'd like to sail on Carnival Wish.....can we 'wish' upon a star each night?? :D

[Crystalkrt]

Nice... add this song to the background:Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6-c223DUU

and a nicer decor + bigger pools

I think its cool I would love a list of amenities cant wait to see

[BABSIER]

Very nice! Just give her bigger pools :D

I actually did it all in paint...and too get the shadow outline and transparent background, I edited it in PhotoShop. :D

Nice job!!

 

If I were designing new ships for CCL, I would design smaller rather then larger as is the current trend. The Fantasy class can't last forever and I really think they are just about the right size for a fun cruise. A modern version with all the current ship board trends would be awesome.

Nice job - looks like a fun thing to do.

[RBCL]

I'm thinking about doing an expanded Lanai...but the question is where, and how. :confused:

 

EDIT: I put it in the perfect spot. :)

This is so cool Cruise Star! You make a beautiful ship and you have already named the pools and dining rooms.

 

Will you be designing the interior in the Joe Farcus fashion, or will this be a purely radical change a la Cruise Star?

I'm actually not sure -- I'm sure I want the atrium to be of the Las Vegas style...but I may get rid of most of the purple. The theme I want to do it Beach/Surfing theme. :rolleyes:

[RBCL]

Has anyone noticed about no Ocean View category listed? :confused:

Wow~! Great job and this has to be one of the best posts I've seen on here :) I love your ideas and perhaps you should pitch them to Carnival. Imagine a cruise ship designed by it's passengers :)

[RBCL]

Thanks -- I'm thinking of some unique things to put on the ships...any ideas?

[frangran]

I agree entirely! :)

[RBCL]

I agree entirely! :)

 

Perhaps this could be my next project. :p

[RBCL]

Here's a comparison:

 

DREAM

 

WISH/WONDER

[frangran]

Perhaps this could be my next project. :p

 

That would be wonderful! (Wish Carnival felt the same!)

[RBCL]

So -- has anyone come up with any ideas yet, for what they what on this class of ships?

[CruisinManiac]

This thread reminds me of my son when he was a teenager. After his first cruise on the Disney Wonder, he came back home and for months, he designed and drew ships. Used the extra long graphing paper. He must have gone through three pads of that paper! Then, after taking a computerized drafting class in high school, he started making ships on the computer.

 

I thought for sure that he would go into architecture in college, but instead he is in business. Wants to be the head of a cruise line one day! lol

 

Have fun with your painting! I know my son did. ;)

Smaller ships are not very economical. Also, they're much less energy efficient, and with the big movement to "green" everything, and be environmentally conscious, I don't think you'll see a lot of smaller ships being built, especially not for a mass market brand. Mass market brands have to keep prices low, and you just can't do that with a less energy efficient design...and fluctuations in fuel prices can upset the market more with these less effiicent ships.

 

There is also the problem of crowding, which is especially problematic with the designs Carnival has chosen. They would need major redesigns to keep costs low but still avoid the crowding problems.

 

I think the specialty lines will still continue to use smaller ships. Cruises will cost more, but you will get enhanced service, and visit more exotic destinations....this just isn't the market for the Carnival brand (although some of it's sister-lines would do well with smaller ships).

[baseballmom2]

Wow! How creative of you cruise star!! I like all of your ideas so far, can't wait to see more! I really like the beach/surf theme too! Keep it coming! :)
