GoinCruisin Posted May 20, 2005 #27 Share Posted May 20, 2005 A while back I suggested some new names for Carnival ships. So far, they haven't used any of them:( Constipation Flatulation Perspiration Gas Station Conflagration... That one's not good! Infatuation *****.. Singles only! Invasion Saturation Abrasion Connotation Abbheration Algebraic Equation Insatiation Sedation Asian Nation Concentration Tax Evasion Tittilation Vindication Elevation Flirtation Vacation.. Now that's a good one. Whay haven't they used that? Obliteration Continuation Transmogrification Organization Inebriation.. I'll be on that ship Self-mutilation Fornication.. That sounds like a "fun ship" Copulation.. Groovy Consummation.. Hydrogenization Emaciation.. Not much to eat on this ship Starvation.. Or this one Dehydration Inhalation.. I never inhaled :) Vibration I think I'd like to do a back to back on a few of those ships ;) Thanks for the laugh!!!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course as the ship was broken at the time I turned to Mrs Duck and said "how about malfunction". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2J Posted May 20, 2005 #29 Share Posted May 20, 2005 AMERICA WORLD CITY, the first of a fleet of three ships of the World City class, will be the world’s largest passenger shipfrom http://www.quinwell.com/cruise/america.html Derf it's NEVER going to work.

big_duck Posted May 20, 2005 #33 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Yeah what Derf said. *Huh??* The article said that is was supposed to fly a U.S. Flag. Found the following a little "over the top" tapping into a $7.5-billion a year market currently monopolized by foreign-flag ships positive contributions to our trade balances coastwise voyages which are exclusively reserved by law to U.S. built, American flag ships. Maybe I am just a little thin skinned this morning, but I am beginning to wonder if they would even let ME sail on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. LOL...I'm thinkin' they probably would ;) My point was ANY American Flagged/Crewed ship would be a flop.

Americans just don't have the work ethic any longer.:rolleyes: My brother sailed the Pride of Aloha or whatever in Febuary. He said there was a lot of comments about how the service on the non US Crewed ships was far superior. As this was his first cruise he had nothing to compare it to and being non-US flagged himself would have no comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on that ship when it was the Sky and would go on it again if it weren't owned by NCL:rolleyes: I don't remember exactly when the first cruise was but I seem to recall reading that A LOT of crew members "walked off" the ship mid-voyage.

AIMS312 Posted May 20, 2005 #39 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Carnival needs to get back to the methodology of naming ships after the Seven Deadly Sins. I thought they were on the right track starting with "Pride." Then we could have the Carnival Gluttony... (my *second* favorite Deadly Sin). You always make me laugh. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Belvedere Posted May 20, 2005 #41 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I thought I read in Currents a year or more ago that Carnival was going to build ships that had windows on the inside looking over the lobby area, similar to RCL's Mariner. Am I dreaming this or has anyone else seen or heard of Carnival having that plan in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristiFree Posted May 20, 2005 #42 Share Posted May 20, 2005 At our past guest party...the CD told us after the slide show that in 2007 Carnival will come out with the Carnival Pinnacle and it will hold 5000 passengers and will be 3 times longer (bigger) than the Elation!

Jenna1983 Posted May 20, 2005 #45 Share Posted May 20, 2005 That one thing said it probably wouldn't be out, if it works, till end of 2008, early 2009. I thought they were putting out the carnival freedom in 2007? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pinnacle project is still underway and will still be a few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted May 21, 2005 #48 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Has anyone heard the rumors that Carnival is in the works on a ship that is being designed in a Y shape? I happened to hear one of the crew members on the Miracle talking about it. Somthing to do with having twice as many balconies on the ship. They would have them on the inside of the Y so balcanies would actually be across from one another. Very Interesting!!!! There was a design simiilar to this on the old Masa Yards(now Aker) about a year ago. Who knows what the Pinnacle class will look like but at 170-180,000 tons it will hold a lot of people that's for sure. Figure about 5000 passenger and at least 1500 crew and that is too many people for a ship IMHO. Carnival will not place an order for this until the Dollar and Euro get closer together in value. I wouldn't imagine anything coming out until 2008 or 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
