Pictures from your very first Carnival cruise

[Mobe]

We are about to go on our second Carnival cruise. Our first was January 2006 on the Inspiration. I thought it would be fun to see pictures from people's first cruises. Here are a few from ours.

We sailed on the Holiday back in 1988. Carnival has since sold that ship.

My very first embarkation photo! Back when the Paradise was non-smoking.

Thanks for brightening a dreary morning here in NY! Love a good sense of humor!

From our first cruise on Carnival Festivale in June 1992:

 

Festivale in St. Thomas:

 

 

Embarkation

 

Sea Day on Lido Deck (Festival did not have the "whale tail")

 

MDR wait staff getting a line going for some dancing and fun

Not actual pictures, but I still have some of the "Carnival Capers" (now "Fun Times"). They were just on a legal sized sheet of paper then, front and back.

 

First Day, St. Thomas. The cruise was a southern Caribbean out of San Juan to St. Thomas; St. Maarten; Dominica (1/2 day); Barbados; Martinique; Sea Day; San Juan. The "safety drill" (then called lifeboat drill) was not on embarkation day, but the next day after leaving St. Thomas. (???)

 

 

Dominica

 

 

Final (and only) day at sea. I loved how they had listed on the bottom of the 2nd side of the page the islands we'd be passing that day on the way up from Martinique to San Juan and the approximate times we'd be passing.

How cool to see the Carnival Capers! I think it is so fun to see the fashion from years past in pictures.

Now you know the new fuel-efficient propulsion system.

I absolutely love this thread! We only started cruising in 2014 at the age of 35, so I don't really have anything interesting to contribute, but please keep the pics coming!!!

We discovered cruising in 2007. Our first Carnival cruise was on the Conquest round trip from Galveston, TX. I'll never forget how reluctant my wife was to go on our first cruise, and how quickly she booked our next cruise the day after we got back home. We've been cruising every year since then. I'll insert a link below to my wife's website where you can view pictures she took.

Our first cruise was the Festivale in 1984. Then you could take a bridge tour for free!

I like that hat either you or your wife is wearing. Are the lights battery powered?

 

I only have a few pictures from my first cruise, but that was before digital cameras. My second cruise (and first on Carnival) was on the Carnival Holiday in early 2001. Still before digital cameras. My third cruise (second on Carnival) was on the Carnival Pride in 2004 ...

Carnival Inspiration 2005. DD who was 8 at the time doing the Macarena with my brother as my step-dad watched. Both my brother and step-dad have since passed. Memories are priceless.
