overthehillcruiser Posted March 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We shot skeet off the stern of Tropicale in 1986. Bet they wouldn't hand you a loaded shotgun on a ship nowdays..I believe you could drive golf balls as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brookeq Posted March 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We sailed her for our honeymoon in 2000. Went to Cozumel and grand cayman. So tiny compared to today's ships. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsfromsc Posted March 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Our first cruise was on the Tropicale. We weren't sure if we'd like it so we only booked a 5 day. We immediately wished we'd booked a longer cruise. That said, I don't want to be on a small ship again. Our next cruise was on the Triumph. When we arrived at the port we were blown away by how huge the ship looked after our memories of the Tropicale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tncap Posted March 11, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I ordered a Carnival brochure back in middle school (mid-90s) and the Tropicale had a 15-night southern Caribbean itinerary that I was obsessed over. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTVCRUISER Posted March 11, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted March 11, 2014 My very first cruise was on tha Azure Seas out of San Pedro, I remember they had skeet shootng on that ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlybice Posted March 11, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We came "THIS" close to sailing the Tropicale. We were looking for a different itinerary, and figured it was time to do the Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. And then they swapped out the Tropicale for the Fascination. In hind site, I think we made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
