Former carnival celebration with a yellow whale tail.

The celebration was recently transfered to costa. Check out the big yellow whale tale.

That is cool. Thanks for sharing. She was my first ship, and there are some great memories there. Still, what a big difference 10 years has made!

The Celebration was our first cruise too and I have many fond memories of that trip.

[Seago2]

Thank you for that. Hmmm...

Thanks for the picture..we sailed her out of Jacksonville a few years ago...

I had to laugh that it said her Maiden Voyage was 2014. Kind of misleading if anyone didn't know she use to be a Carnival ship.

I wonder what the rationale is in keeping the whale tail intact. I know they kept them for Iberia, but the Tropicale had its removed. Maybe for stability during future salutes.

she was with CCL then Iberocruceros and now Costa.

 

I dont see any itinerary scheduled yet with Costa, The transfer is for November 2014

Since it hasn't been transferred yet could that be some photoshop paint at work. Everything I have read days the whale tail is coming off even transferred.

I believe the Holiday still has the whale tail on currently for ibero and its blue

Jubilee just had the fins taken off.

Thanks for posting, she was our first cruise back in 96. Thought she was the biggest ship afloat (she was not) back then.

i think it looks terrible. looks recycled, and a whale tail doesn't belong on costa. they oughta just remove it and put their oval stack on it.

[lady peacock]

I agree a yellow whale tale just isn't costa

Yep that's how she looked when we saw here in Barcelona

The Celebration was my first Carnival cruise, before that I cruised 3 times on the Dolphin cruise line on the OceanBreeze & SeaBreeze if anyone remembers that cruise line. The Celebration was much newer than the other ships I had cruised on since Dolphin ships were built in the 1950's. I remember saying to myself once onboard the Celebration, what a nice ship & stayed with Carnival after that.

Its all HER Fault. Our first cruise Celebration 1984.

Sorry 1988

We cruised on her two or three times out of Jax. We really liked Celebration as she was small and intimate. What a great ship to cruise on! Good to see her finding a new life.

she has not stopped sailing. CCC is just shifting her around from CCL- Ibero- Costa.

AHHHH!

Carnival Celebration, 1992!

Was young and single (and that's all I'll tell)!

from the Costa website. Itineraries are listed. It looks nothing like when we sailed her.
