Aplmac Posted May 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I reckon this is a big step towards improving "curb appeal" generally - Sounds like Carnival intends to re-paint all their hulls a la Mardi Gras. Brilliant move, looks-wise! https://carnival-news.com/2021/05/05/carnival-cruise-line-announces-new-red-white-and-blue-hull-design-across-fleet/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted May 10, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Good morning. There’s already a thread regarding this. Carnival Cruise Line Announces Hull Painting Red, White and Blue Across Fleet, at least I think that’s the post name. Was posted a couple of days ago. Will look nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted May 10, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Of course, this will be accomplished as each ship goes into dry dock, into the future.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Thanks for the alert - I thought there might be such but didn't come across it during a brief search of mine. It'll look better than Nice - it should look great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted May 10, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'm guessing even the more elderly 'boats' can only benefit from the improved look... Shown here are Fascination and Elation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shown here are Fascination and Elation I think the entire fleet is a rust bucket of inactivity at the moment, so God knows paint is needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted May 10, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I guess I am missing something here. I have never once thought my cruise would be better if the ship was painted differently. While I think the new paint scheme is nicer than the current white, I don’t think it is anything to get excited about. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am agreeing with you, but at the same time it certainly is better than arguing about vaccines and speculating which embarkation port will be first and when it'll occur. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted May 10, 2021 Author #13 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will do some fancy Photoshop work on current hulls/ships, to give us some idea what this or that ship could look like! Shouldn't be too difficult. I don't think these two ever sailed together, somehow....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embarkation75 Posted May 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted May 10, 2021 These Fantasy-class gals are going to need more than some blue paint. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jperry2011 Posted May 11, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2021 A welcome change for sure. All white was a bad idea to see the rust anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshhawk Posted May 21, 2021 #22 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I know it is a trick of the eye, but when i see all that blue at the bottom of the ship, I think it's sinking. The Magic is our next cruise, in December, our first BIG ship. Can't wait! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted May 21, 2021 #23 Share Posted May 21, 2021 it is odd though, if you look at the two pics above-one shows the red line under the cove balconies, and one shows the red line below deck 2. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
