From what I've seen and read they will meet at sea. Each ship will have its own Lido party. Looks like a lot of fun and something different. My parents already booked and I'll be booking soon.

I hear that they will be running ziplines from the taller ships to the shorter ships!  I guess Vista class to Fantasy Class?

 

Then, they use one of the lifeboats to return you to your "home" ship.

 

At night, just before sailaway, they are supposed to have fireworks that will rival those at the Magic Kingdom.

Where did you read this? It would be great if you could provide a link.

I'm no expert on these types of things. Amongst other concerns, I would venture to guess that boarding another cruise ship is some sort of violation of law.

None.

I just made it up so that the event would sound at least somewhat exciting.

OK, so a group of ships stop in the middle of the GOM. Where's the excitement in that?  You can routinely spot other cruise vessels while underway.

It was a joke.

But wouldn't it be great if true?

I agree, there would be lots of things that would be great. That would be pretty interesting to be able to board a different ship at sea. Unfortunately, it will never happen due to the way the world is.

Sorry I knew it was a joke - I like your enthusiasm and  cynicism .

I was going to present a far more elaborate story at first, but then thought that nobody would believe it anyway.

The ships will all gather at a secret rendezvous point at the middle of the GOM, guided only by the full moon.  When suddenly, the fireworks go off to reveal a whole flotilla of Carnival Ships!  To punctuate the thrill of the fireworks, each ship begins showing off the newly developed (and kept secret) horns!  Each one will bellow out a Carnival tune made popular in their commercials.  The larger ships all start out with "Ain't We Got Fun!", and finish it up with "Bang A Drum".  The older Fantasy class ships will end the show with the ever popular "Hoooooonnnnnkkkkk".

Suddenly, the whirring blades of a helicopter approach, and the ships spotlights all converge on the center of the circle, where a large raft with a painted target is floating.  After a grand announcement simulcast from John Heald, the door to the chopper opens and a skydiver emerges.  It is none other than that lovable Carnival Chief Fun Officer - Shaq!  As he wafts down to the raft, a specially prepared skiff goes out to meet him, after which he is escorted to each ship where he hands out free one-night Cheers gift cards to all the good boys and girls on board!

 

Or something like that.

I hope you have a GREAT cruise!!

We plant to!  Thanks!

 

Plus, I am on the advance team for scouting out the super-duper-secret rendezvous location for the flotilla meetup.

I just hope that I don't slip up and let the cat out of the bag and blab about all of their other surprises like the mini-subs and inflatable private islands they are planning to debut....
