It's sad to think that the beautifull Festivale is no longer around - she truly was a majestic lady and not even closely matched by the superliners of today - awesome they may be but not nearly so enchanting. I worked aboard the TSS Festivale for three and a half years - 1986-1990 - and came to think of her as home. Its wonderful to hear that after all these years ther are people such as yourself who share such fond memories .
My husband and I took our second cruise in July, 1987 on the Festivale. We went out of San Juan and traveled to St. Thomas, St. Marten, Barbados, & Martinique. It was your oldtime ship. Instead of straight corridors, you had little hallways off the main one and the rooms were different. Not all exactly the same as some are now. I'm glad we got to experience an older ship. We went on the Tropicale in 1985 for our honeymoon and it was the new ship for Carnival, but still enjoyed the Festivale a couple of years later. We just booked our next cruise on the Miracle. It is in the Spirit class and looking forward to trying out that type of ship.
