What really gets my goat is some kid scrawled writing all over the hull of the Mein Shiff's

I agree - I too like the fresh new design. Looks like a wave. Only one thing, as someone above mentioned, the shade of blue at the bow could be (a good bit) lighter

Would you believe, I am only now (a year later) seeing this post of yours. I just had a quick look thru your impressive collection of cards on Photobucket. Somewhere at Photobucket, I also have photos of cards posted... but I haven't visited or used Photobucket for years now (suspect I'm getting old! lol) Go look for user Aplmac

The way it happened sounds awfully dodgy!

A quick update from today's local newspaper with some more details........ http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/158491/tour-bus-driver-averts-disaster

Go WEST Coast and you'll have no problems. Attached photo shows Mullins Beach, quite aways up the West Coast The problems are on the South Coast - so avoid that. CRANE Beach out East is also cool, no sewage there

OK I just saw the local island News on TV - at 7 p.m. seeking further info, and indeed the incident seems minor. Minor cuts and scrapes were addressed on the scene, and two cruisers went off to local hospital, as a cautionary measure Now I've seen more photos of the coach... the coach got the worst of it all by far!

Seems that a ship's coach tour ashore at Barbados stop crunched against a wall over on the scenic side of the island. 32 Freedom of the Seas cruisers on the coach, of which three suffered minor injuries. Most unfortunate. There's a short article on the local newspaper's website but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link or not.. http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/158323/mass-casualty-situation-st-joseph The photo shows not-severe damage to the coach

That would be the small circular hole down in the bottom right corner.. .

Glad to hear you keep them! If you are ever cleaning house and about to toss them out.. please think of me: I'd be happy to add them to my collection. Email: DH-jennie(at)outlook dot com .

OK! Didn't know that! Many thanks! .

Thank you for that! .

I keep mine (and my wife's) in plastic sleeves stored in a 3-ring binder. I collect other folks' cards as well and now have a collection that wows everyone who look thru it! I have one album dedicated to Carnival cards including a range of crew-cards you'd not normally see. .

It's only money. Seriously! That stuff is made of vegetable material and won't be worth quite the same value in 6 months time! .

Wow! This can only improve my favourite (so far) Carnival ship! .
