Carnival does not currently have any 140,000 ton ships sailing? The Splendor (which is booking now) is only 113,000 tons.

 

Can you be more specific with a name???

[*Mach*]

The OP is probably referring to the Magic and Dream that will both be 130,000 gt.

It looks like the Dream goes into service in 2009 so I would think it would be fairly soon they would announce itineraries, inaugural sailing date, etc.

But it might be awhile before we hear about the Magic.

 

 

3,652-Passenger Vessels Scheduled to Enter Service in 2009 and 2011

MIAMI -- "Carnival Dream" and "Carnival Magic" are the names Carnival Cruise Lines has chosen for its two 130,000-ton SuperLiners scheduled to enter service in October 2009 and June 2011, respectively.

Representing a new class of vessel for the line, the 3,652-passenger "Fun Ships" will be the largest in Carnival Cruise Lines' fleet and offer a host of innovative on-board amenities and facilities.

 

"Carnival has earned a reputation as a cruise industry innovator by continually upgrading its product and introducing new and exciting features. Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic will epitomize 'Today's Carnival,' offering the widest variety of dining, activity and entertainment options in our fleet," said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.

 

Including Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic, Carnival Cruise Lines has four new ships on order, all of which are being built by Italy's Fincantieri shipyard. The first of these, the 110,000-ton Carnival Freedom, is slated to debut in Europe March 5, 2007; the 112,000-ton Carnival Splendor is scheduled to enter service in July 2008.

 

These four vessels will join Carnival's current 21-ship fleet which operates voyages ranging from three to 16 days in length to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Bermuda, Europe and the Greek Isles.

3,652 passengers? No thanks! They can't put enough bells and whistles on a ship to make me want to cruise with that many people.

Yeah... the Splendor was originally going to Costa but Carnival took her.

 

She's a one off...

Nope... that's one of RCCL's new Genesis class ships!!

 

At 220,000 gt and 5400 pax that picture probably doesn't do it justice!!!

 

:D

This is what the Genesis ship will look like according to the Aker Shipyard web site.
