big_duck Posted March 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2012 OK, I just can't keep silent on this. What dope smoking, tofu eating, tree hugging middle aged hippy beard came up with this beauty of a new name for the Carnival Destiny? Will tie dye be mandatory on elegant night? Will the house band be The Grateful Dead? Will the funnel be reshaped into a peace sign? Will there be a vegan specialty restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine sounds like the name a 5 year old would give a ship. No..forget that, a 5 year old could do better. The name that ship has is beautiful and I have NO freaking clue why they would change it to something so utterly mundane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megmno Posted March 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well, at least they won't have to change the "Ticket to Ride" show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted March 6, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe instead of NOLA they should home port in San Francisco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megmno Posted March 6, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 6, 2012 When does the Destiny become Sunshine???? Apparently in April 2013. Here's a list of its itineraries: http://www.carnival.com/BookingEngine/SailingSearch/Search2/?&shipCode=SH&StateCode=NY&PastGuest=Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted March 6, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well I am definitely not understanding the name change. I will say though that I like the itineraries due to the fact I can do a b2b2b of 21 days and only hit one port twice (Cozumel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micahs Grandad Posted March 6, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe I am missing something here. Why in the world is the name of the ship so important to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halos Posted March 6, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe I am missing something here. Why in the world is the name of the ship so important to you? This is called a 'conversation'...or a 'discussion'. We are all sharing an opinion. So, yeah, you must have missed that. I don't think Duck is going to lose sleep over this name change or anything. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.G's Mr.G Posted March 6, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe I am missing something here. Why in the world is the name of the ship so important to you? To me the name itself is not important' date=' but why the change in general? I am by no means a business man, but I do not understand the need to change the name. Perhaps John Heald will have the reasons why the Carnival execs made this decision in his official announcement today.[/color'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted March 6, 2012 Author #18 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Triumph to be renamed Moon Beam. Victory to be renamed Butterfly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really funny. What I don't understand is why many of the major cruise lines copy each other's names. Carnival Destiny being changed to Carnival Sunshine - not long after RCI announced it's new Sunshine Class? Hmmmmm. Why is the ship's name being changed anyways? Trying to clear its bad reputation?

RWolver672 Posted March 6, 2012 #23 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I had always heard that it was bad luck to rename a boat. I don't know if this holds true for a ship or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenanny Posted March 6, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I know I'm going to be the small minority here and I don't really understand why they are changing Destiny's name, but I don't HATE Sunshine:) It is no more mundane than Dream, Magic and Breeze imo. Funny thread though!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
