That should make for an interesting project. I imagine it'll be quite the challenge.

The Celebration was the first ship we ever cruised on back in 1995 when it was the Carnival Celebration. It was old then but I guess it is still good enough for a 2 day cruise.

1800 passengers and 5 pools!? What a concept! lol

Is this three of them?

 

 

One of them appears to offer some unexpected aft views...

[ilovetotravel1977]

Blech! Not sure I'd want to see what's at the bottom of the pool(s)!

Actually 5 hours ago someone in this thread already referenced the earlier thread. My attempt at pointing out irony. :)

True, but evidently the person I quoted had not seen that post. Probably read first post and commented.

With such earth shattering news, timing is everything.

This may be my cruise-geek side talking, but I think his efforts at turning the line around would make for entertaining reality TV. We already know he's not camera shy with his Undercover Boss participation.

Hopefully they will get away from bookings tied to shady vacation packages sold via postcards in the mail and robo phone calls. The picture of the above deck pool in a post above was a previous ship under Celebration Cruise Line that was a former ferry that was scrapped after a 2014 collision with an underwater object. The current ship is the former Carnival Celebration and has a real pool.

 

The link below shows the listing of the ship that was scrapped.

He needs to turn that into a 3/4 night ship, not a 2 night. I live 20 minutes from the port and while they are constantly advertising deals, after taxes it doesn't come up to be such a bargain for a 2 night cruise; within spitting distance of most 3/4 night cruises out of Miami or Port Canaveral. I've been interested to try but not at current pricing.

I, for one, wish him the best of luck; he knows how to get a cruise line out of the gutter and make it successful. :)

Well you can't get any more in the gutter than Paradise Cruise Line. Good lord...what a ship!

[coaster]

I hope it works out. Hopefully, it can expand to other older ships. A version of the former Premier and Regency Cruise Lines where older ships can continue to provide additional years of service to passengers where ice bars, bowling alleys, rock climbing walls and multiple surcharge restaurants are a just a gimmick.

That ship would fit nicely in a Cuba port.

I can't tell... are all the reply puns? :)
