Carnival cruise ship's decor

[Towel Critter]

I love the modern décor of Breeze and Sunshine, but I told my husband after sailing on Victory a few weeks ago that I wish Carnival would keep each ship a little different. I enjoy the different colors, different venue names, and "personality" of the Farcus ships. I do not want all the show lounges to be Liquid Lounge, or the comedy venue to be "Limelight Lounge." I want differences on the ships that I sail, it's part of the experience to me. I get excited wondering what the atrium of a new ship will look like, what color schemes I will see...it helps build the excitement of my upcoming vacation!

I completely agree with the later part of your post. Each ship should have it's own distinct personality.

My first cruise was on the Carnival Destiny and I loved the theater decor. It looked liked a castle and made the space feel very grand. When I went back on the ship after it was converted to the Carnival Sunshine, I was very disappointed in the transformation of the theater to the Liquid Lounge and it became very mundane and blah. I love the personality of the older Carnival ships.

 

I am going on the Vista in 3 months so I will see what I think of the newest ship. But the truth is, as long as I am on a ship, I am sure I will have a great time. After all, even a bad day on a cruise is better than a great day at work.

Yes, I watched it. Thanks for posting the link. I had no idea he designed the funnel and that the nickname of "whale tail" actually came afterwards and had nothing to do with the design.

No, I didn't. But only because I've seen it before. It's a pretty interesting interview. Thanks for sharing it with everyone.

I noticed no one has mentioned the Fascination on which we sail next week. I'm almost afraid to ask---what is the décor like on the Fascination?

Interestingly, modern casinos have generally done away with the 'themes' and toned down the glitz too. Sign of the times!

yes I have watched it before, and found it to be quite interesting. I am one of those who actually likes Farcus designed ships;) I also liked the Old Las Vegas, 1990's, Fremont St vs Strip. Probably says something about my age.;)

 

I am not against modern, going to do that next year. Still I like the color of Joe Farcus's decors.:)

Now this I agree with. I do prefer ship specific decor and venue names.

Just wish they'd get rid of the orange sofa color.

 

Agreed!! They are hideous.
