Here is a list of the Carnival ships, along with their build date and current itineraries (as of June 2017). more
The Carnival cruise ships primarily sail to the Bahamas and the Caribbean from several ports in the eastern and southern United States, but Carnival also cruises the Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, and New England/Atlantic Canada.
Carnival Cruises is one of eight diverse cruise lines owned by the parent company, Carnival Corporation. The other cruise lines in the corporation include Aida Cruises (German), Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, and Seabourn Cruises. Fathom Cruises discontinued operations in June 2017. The company's one ship, the Adonia, was transferred back to P&O Cruises where it had been previously. more
The newer ships built in the 21st century have more balcony cabins, so if that's important to you, then check the destinations and prices for those ships first. Some of the older ships have a few balconies, but the prices might be higher since they are not as common.
The departure of 13 vessels at once is unprecedented in the company’s history. Donald said it would amount to a nearly 9% reduction of capacity at the combined brands. more
In addition to shedding older ships, Donald said Carnival Corporation would add new ships at a slower pace over the next couple of years. The company has 16 vessels on order for its nine brands that it said would roll out more slowly than originally planned. [links]
Donald didn’t specify which ships would leave the company’s fleets. But several of the vessels already are known. The company’s U.K.-focused brand, P&O Cruises, announced this week that its 2,016-passenger Oceana would be departing. The news came just days after the company’s Europe-focused Costa Cruises brand said its 1,928-passenger Costa Victoria had sailed its last voyage for the line. more
Just a few weeks ago, Carnival Corporation said in a regulatory filing that it would dispose of six ships within 90 days and maybe more. Friday’s announcement more than doubles the confirmed number of vessels that will leave Carnival Corporation brands. more
The cruise company is expecting a slow return with only limited capacity so a removal of some ships will take place and delays in new ship deliveries. The removal of cruise ships will take place before the end of 2020 and they have already planned removals which would have been done over several years in normal times.
As part of the cruise company’s update on earnings and how it’s dealing with the current global health crisis, it was revealed that a total of six cruise ships would be disposed of over the next three months.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the cruise industry and just spare a thought for the thousands of crew members who remain on ships around the world to keep them maintained.
Nicola Mulinaris: One of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
Narrator: Aliaga hasn't always had the safest yards. In the late '90s, Turkey was just as bad as South Asia. But in 2002, Greenpeace released a report that revealed the unsafe work conditions here, and the world took notice. here
Emre: You can make good money because there are lots of things on board for secondhand sales.
Kamil Önal: Welcome to the Aliaga ship-breaking facility.
Emre: They are working in very high degrees under the sun in summertimes, or they are working in very extreme conditions in wintertime. This job is the hardest job, according to ILO's list. more
Narrator: Then they move onto amenities, dismantling gyms, pools, and theaters. Stripping walls, windows, floors, and handrails is next. This is where lots of saws and blowtorches come in.
