What was your first Carnival ship?

Sensation. First cruise ever. Absolutely LOVED it. Now I can't get enough cruising.

Triump June 2006 with my children. We were hooked after that.

Imagination, I still see her when leaving out of, or at several ports of call. It amazing to see the differences in the sizes of the ships between now and then.

We went on our 1st Carnival cruise on the Destiny back in 2010. I hope to get back on her sometime soon now that she has been refurbished and has become the Sunshine!

Imagination.

 

I think it was perfect (for me) for a first cruise. It was 5 days, which was enough time to check it out, but not too long. The ship was small enough that I did not feel lost, but big enough to amaze me. Since then I have sailed Conquest class ships (Valor and Conquest x2). I recently sailed on Constellation on Celebrity, which I think is comparable in size to one of the fantasy class ships and am going on Elation in the fall. So now that I have cruising experience, I can compare.

Brings back such fond memories. It was the Triumph to Canada in 2005. I promised my husband if he got seasick, we'd get off at the first port of call and fly home. He didn't and we fell in love with cruising. Best vacations are sea vacations!

My first one was the Esctasy out of Miami.

Carnivale...Long gone.

Holiday!

Saw a lot of people get sick on that ship. Suppose to be something about it didn't have enough stabilizers since it was an old ship. Even a black jack dealer got sick on that ship and so did the Bingo calling girl. Was a sight!

There were barf bags taped down the hall and on the elevators both times I was on it.
