Drink-in-Hand/Toes-in-Sand Posted May 11, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2005 We sailed on her in 2000, one of her last years in service. She was definitely showing her age then. Now I see that Carnival no longer has Tropicale in the fleet. Any ideas where she ended up? Enjoying life as a gambling junket? Or maybe some less attractive use?

She is the Costa Tropicale and later this year she will be moving to P&O and renamed Pacific Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drink-in-Hand/Toes-in-Sand Posted May 18, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Wow! Have they done any updating on her? I guess I'll go look at their website and see what she looks like now. Thanks for the info! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougnewmanatsea Posted May 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Wow! Have they done any updating on her? Lots - her interiors have practically been gutted, and she got a new funnel, among other things. Personally, I think she looks very nice. There's a great virtual tour on Costa's web site that will give you a good idea of what she looks like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted May 26, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I think that she looks better today then when she was sailing for Carnival. Costa did a great job in her refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink-in-Hand/Toes-in-Sand Posted May 31, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I took a look out on the Costa website. She does look much improved. I won a jackpot in the casino one night. Bunches of money! I'm sure that's probably changed too! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougnewmanatsea Posted May 31, 2005 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2005 COULD SOMEONE POST THE LINK FOR THE PICS OF THE TROPICALE NOW THAT ITS BEEN REDONE. See this page from Costa's site. You can choose 360-degree views from the drop-down menu on the left or by clicking on the various red dots on each deck in the deck plan (roll over a deck on the diagram of the ship, and click to see deck plan).
