WTH, Carnival!?!

[SeaShark]

So I gotta ask...

 

Carnival posted this pic on their website to show off the Carnival Magic's new livery

 

 

Not sure what this is a pic of, but it is NOT the Magic.

 

Here is the Magic leaving Port Canaveral yesterday:

 

 

Can't help but notice

--Different basketball court

--Carnival logo on the side of the ship is in a different place

--Magic has 9 lifeboats on a side, but the website pic shows 15

 

Why the fake picture and just what ship is this that has 15 lifeboats on a side? (Even the Mardi Gras doesn't have that many).

carnival dream probably,

It is the Magic. If you look closely at the first picture that you posted, under the funnel it says the words Carnival Magic.

MANIFEST!

The first image is a mock-up done before the Magic got her new paint job.  Someone in the art department took a stock photo (the wrong one) and played photoshop for a bit.

Marketing departments don't let reality constrain their ideas.

ok thanks. As usual, I’m confused.

 

according to the OP the picture of the ship leaving port canaveral on Monday doesn’t look painted. At least in the new paint design.

The OP said no such thing. The ship leaving Port Canaveral on Monday IS painted with the new livery...it just does not match the ship in the photo Carnival has on their website.

The whole fleet is eventually getting new paint jobs with that blue wave at the bow.

Looks like the same ship from different angles to my old tired eyes.

 

Funny, when the COVID cruising "pause" began, I started a thread on how Carnival could use some of the down time to clean up the rust on its ships' hulls and repaint them with a quality marine product over their self admitted cheap paint.

 

Some responders said no income and no staff so no new paint, others said what rust?  I wish I could find that thread now and revive it.

When I discussed with some friends on the MG, it was clearly made in the discussion they chose poorly the last time out in regards to paint and premature rusting.  The new paint jobs are shard and hopefulyl will reviatize the look on all ships once completed.

Dream, Magic, Glory, and of course the Mardi Gras.  Radiance should be next I think, but if I am wrong, one of my friends will correct me.

Thanks, I had seen the Valor and forgotten it.  I did not know about the Legend.

New paint and less visible rust makes all the re-painted ships look fabulous.

There is a compliment in there somewhere.

Only issue with your thought, was that many dry docks were closed and they couldn't get in to repaint the ships.  As far as above water, I would agree with you.
