Bonneville02

If this thing flew over a cruise ship, why is there only one video clip? I am assuming that this unnamed ship was full of passengers, all on vacation. People bring cameras on vacation, so why did we not see several different clips of the event?

I have done cove balconies on both the Dream and Breeze. The only downside I can think of was waking up one morning to what my half asleep brain thought was loud trucks outside. Those "trucks" were tenders pulling alongside the Breeze. When you are in a cove balcony room, you could literally jump from the balcony to the roof of a large tender and not hurt yourself too bad. You are really that close to the water.

I would guess the whaletail funnels were in good working order and the buyers wanted to keep the cost of the overhaul as low as possible, more than likely, fully realizing, the whole World will know who owned them formerly.

Carnival Corporation owns 50% of Ibero Cruises might have something to do with it. But then again they also own P&O which is where the Jubilee went.

 

Or they figured it was easier to just leave it alone and give it a different paint job.

Carnival went through the trouble of painting over the logo on the sides of nearly every ship in the fleet and putting the funnel on all of their advertising. This suggests that they want people to associate the whale tail with Carnival. I'd guess that modifying the funnels on two ships would really be no big expense to Carnival. The time and effort to remove one funnel and replace it with another is probably not much, and probably could be done quickly.

I guess glrounds may be correct about why they just painted over the Carnival livery. Change it, but leave a hint that Ibero is really a Carnival brand.

I thought that when Carnival's purpose built ships left the fleet, they lost their unique funnels. Tropicale and Jubilee had the surgery, but Celebration and Holiday just got new paint.
