Carnival Tropicale

[Drink-in-Hand/Toes-in-Sand]

We sailed on her in 2000, one of her last years in service. She was definitely showing her age then. Now I see that Carnival no longer has Tropicale in the fleet. Any ideas where she ended up? Enjoying life as a gambling junket? Or maybe some less attractive use?

She is the Costa Tropicale and later this year she will be moving to P&O and renamed Pacific Star.

Wow! Have they done any updating on her? I guess I'll go look at their website and see what she looks like now.

Thanks for the info! :)

Lots - her interiors have practically been gutted, and she got a new funnel, among other things.

 

Personally, I think she looks very nice. There's a great virtual tour on Costa's web site that will give you a good idea of what she looks like today.

I think that she looks better today then when she was sailing for Carnival. Costa did a great job in her refurb.

I took a look out on the Costa website. She does look much improved. I won a jackpot in the casino one night. Bunches of money! I'm sure that's probably changed too! :)

See this page from Costa's site. You can choose 360-degree views from the drop-down menu on the left or by clicking on the various red dots on each deck in the deck plan (roll over a deck on the diagram of the ship, and click to see deck plan).
