Ship profiles?

There used to be an area on the Carnival site that listed the ships by class with all the info - now it's not there. Anybody know of another place on the net to get this info?

They just set it up differently on the site. When you click on "fun ships" then just click on "virtual ship tour"

 

Here is the one for Conquest

Thanks October - that helps but I was also looking for a list of which ships belong in which class. The Royal Carib site has a really nicely designed site that gives an overview of each ship class then the specifics of each individual ship including launch dates and such. Was hoping maybe someone had compiled this info for Carnival.

This might help..Deckcadet compliled this list. Everything looks right except 1)Destiny is the only Destiny Class ship 2) Triumph and Victory are Triumph class ships.

 

 

Holiday class:

M/S Holiday (Joined CCL 1985, remains in fleet)- first of three ships, measures 729 feet, 46,000 tons, just smaller than the rest. Currently homeported in New Orleans, refurbished 12/03, moving to Mobile, AL to begin year round western caribbean cruises.

M/S Jubilee ( Joined CCL 1986, leaving NOW)- The runt of the litter, I guess. people don't like her or something. Transferring to subsidiary line.

M/S Celebration (Joined CCL 1987, remains in fleet)- also redone, Celebration is regarded as having an excellent crew and will be homeported in jacksonville, FL.

 

The Mega Liners, the most successful in the world: Fantasy Class-

Carnival kicked off the most successful series of ships EVER in 1990 and continued through 1998. During this time, a change in decor occured and the last 2 ships, Elation and Paradise (1998, march/november), were quite toned down designs and also featured the first cruise application of the azipod propulsion system, and Paradise was the first totally smoke-free vessel (ending 9/20/04 if the ship leaves on time)

Fantasy- 1990

Ecstasy- 1991- had a small fire in a laundry area aft, which damaged some equipment and left a big cloud of smoke.......towed back to miami and was repaired. Transiting the canal this month, to be refurbished then cruising the caribbean.

Sensation- 1993

Fascination- 1994

Imagination- 1995

Inspiration- 1996

Elation- 1998

smoke-free PARADISE- 1998

 

Destiny Class:

Carnival Destiny-1996- Destiny was the first cruise liner to break the 100,000 ton mark at 101,353 grt.

Carnival Triumph- 1999- A few years gave time for improvement on Destiny's design. Additional upper decks were created bringing up the tonnage from destiny's 101353 to 101,509.

Carnival Victory- 2000

 

Spirit Class:

Carnival Spirit- 2001- A welcome change back to a smaller ship with fewer passengers, the Spirit class is like the fantasy class able to transit the canal (unlike destiny or conquest classes), and do the line's alaska and many new york- caribbean cruises. Also Azipod- equipped though the system has had some problems on Legend and Miracle. Features an additional dining option: a surcharge gourmet supper club that most cruisers say is a must.

Carnival Pride- 2002- For some time has been based on the west coast, and seems to be staying there for a while.

Carnival Legend- 2003- Does Ft. Lauderdale and New York caribbean cruises.

Carnival Miracle- 2004- Introduced earlier this year, kicked off in Jaxport, went to NYC, will sail year round from Tampa after that.

 

Conquest Class:

Carnival Conquest- 2002- An enlarged and improved version of the Victory, it is 952ft rather than 893, and 110,000 GRT over 101,500. Some people don't like the interior layout claiming it is too broken up. Very large ship. Sails western caribbean out of New Orleans. Like the spirit class features a surcharge gourmet supper club.

Carnival Glory- 2003- sails from Port Canaveral to the caribbean. Sailings have recently been affected by Hurricane Charley's running through the area before docking.

Carnival Valor- 2004- Currently undergoing sea trials/refit, entering service in december out of Miami.

Carnival Libety- 2005- Under Construction in Italy, will do 12 day mediterranean cruises July-october. Transatlantic 16 day end of october- start of november to Ft. Lauderdale, new itinerary not announced.
