DanJ Posted July 25 #2 Share Posted July 25 I'm going to go with Carnival Fantasy for the first of the 230k ships, bringing in the new game changing class of ships for Carnival just like the original Fantasy class was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted July 25 #5 Share Posted July 25 I like Stella and Aurora. Nova I'm on the fence. Does Carnival need to reuse past names? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to, but they have already set a precedent with reusing old names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you want to stick with the star theme, something like Carnival Galaxy or Carnival Solaris could work. The entire Excel class so far uses recycled names. Reusing Holiday would completely reuse the Holiday class. Not sure if any of the "ale" names (Carnivale, Festivale, Tropicale) would get reused, but Tropicale would be the most likely as it was Carnival's first newbuild. So far Carnival has not reused any other names. I guess Carnival Destiny could be on the table, especially if Sunshine sunsets in 2027 or 2028. In some ways it makes sense as Destiny was the first cruise ship over 100,000 GT, and a new Destiny could be the largest cruise ship by passenger capacity. The names of the entire Fantasy class may also be available by then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But didn't that name cause issues where folks couldn't spell or pronounce it correctly? Maybe they could add a corporate sponsor by painting the ship orange and naming it Tropicana. 😋🍊😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are an English speaking company, but their ships are typically registered in Panama, and usually cruise to non-English speaking countries, still something to consider.

Nova is "not going" in both Spanish and Portuguese, so Nova is likely out. Probably not an issue for AIDA given their specific focus on Germany. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
