Jamericannn Posted November 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I watched a few videos to compare the interior of the ships and some look really really outdated. The Splendor, for example, has that old-fashioned pink color that I definitely am not attracted to. I hope when the Glory dry dock in March they will get the carpets a little more updated as well. I like the interior look of the Breeze and (surprisingly) the Miracle. I said surprisingly because I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how beautiful the architecture work in the walkways at the side of the ship are. What are your favorite Carnival ships based solely on the interior look?

NCTribeFan Posted November 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) The ships designs are the ship designs. The cost to completely and totally update all the interior space would be extremely expensive. I'm not a fan of Farcus designs but some people seem to like them. They like those bright colors and "Vegas" glitz. Not me! I've always said that I thought they look like he was having bad acid flashbacks when he designed them. I get that they all have a "theme" but it's his completely over-the-top use of the decorations that I dislike. My favorites are the Spirit-class but has nothing to do with decor (I think Miracle is hideous). Has to do with the layout and flow. Looking forward to my HAL cruise coming up at the beginning of the year on Zuiderdam, one of their Vista-class ships, and very much like Carnival's Spirit-class. Thought Vista was light and bright and I much preferred the colors to most Carnival ships I've sailed (haven't been on the Dream class). But I don't sail for the ship. I sail for the itineraries so decor isn't important to me. Edited November 15, 2016 by NCTribeFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted November 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Joe Farcus is a genius interior designer and, did you know, he also designed the whale tail funnel? You either love his work or hate it. See him in this recent video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted November 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Not a huge fan of the interior designs on the ships I've been on so far. But the Dream which I'll be on next month looks more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted November 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I know many people disagree with me, but I love the Pride interior design. My favorite across the fleet. When I first started cruising I thought what is with these designs on some of the ships, how over the top. Then when on less gaudy ships, I realized I actually missed the neon and glitz of Carnival ships. The Vista is actually too tame for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to feel this way, I would look around and think ***, but then when on a much more reserved ship, I realized Joe Farcas is a genius, that crazy design really did add to my enjoyment of the cruise.

crusinpsychRN Posted November 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2016 They are each so different. Remember the "snakes" on Lido in the ceiling? I really don't like the orange sofa, the orange runner at the bottom of the bed, the bright blue floors in bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted November 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I much prefer the soothing Celebrity and Princess interior decor to Carnival's. Perhaps the Magic, and possibly the Vista might be the best of Carnival's design for my palate. Everyone's taste is different, that's what makes the world go round.

cruzeluver Posted November 15, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Not a Farcus fan. I get many like his designs and more power to ya, but to me they tend toward cheap-looking ( I know they are not in fact cheap, but frequently they look that way). Really enjoyed the decor on Sunshine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singer4Him Posted November 15, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2016 So far, my favorite is, hands down, the Breeze. It felt light, fresh and airy. I'm glad they're getting away from all the Vegas style interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Hogs Posted November 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The Breeze has the best interior ,, Not designed by Farcus , Pastel yellows , blues , oranges , Bamboo look to the cabin doors , Patio umbrellas in the buffet area .. More of a calming affect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I did not know he designed that whale tail funnel...definitely genius. The "tails" are very distinguishable. A Carnival ship can be way out in the distance, but if you see a "tail", you know it's a Carnival ship. :D Edited November 16, 2016 by pghsteelerfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccruisequeen Posted November 16, 2016 #19 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I love the Miracle. Each public area is themed to a literary book or writer. I cruise for creme brûlée, lobster and warm chocolate melting cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by the carnival agent that carpeting is a part of the plan. Maybe they are changing some not for wear and tear but because they want to put a more updated carpet.

Jamericannn Posted November 22, 2016 Author #22 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Because of me? LOL!!! :) Please let me know what you think after you watch the video tour. We love her! I checked out a couple videos on the liberty. It is a really nice ship. They have that unique design on the stairway rails and around other areas that I haven't seen on any of the other ships. It has a few designs and look that I really like. Deck 4 is really nice. This is the video that shows a good walkthrough The Breeze us still my favorite though but I must say the Liberty looks nicer than I thought.

OceansOfTravels Posted November 22, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I enjoy the Splendor's decor. It can be a bit much, but in real life, the space in between all of the tiles is green, and it is really balanced. Plus the dining rooms on Splendor are gorgeous. But if we are going solely by interior decoration, I am in absolute love with the Carnival Liberty. The chandeliers and the floral design blends modern elegance and fun quite well. I would do anything to sail on her again. The Freedom is also very nice inside! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are changing some not for wear and tear but because they want to put a more updated carpet. Maybe in the cabins or hallways but the carpets by the elevator banks and entryways were just replaced with more updated carpet. The carpet in the cabin hallways is in desperate need of replacement. Guess we will just have to wait and see. Old carpet: New carpet as of November/December 2015: Edited November 22, 2016 by firemanbobswife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
