sanmarcosman Posted February 13, 2018 #26 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Oh..such memories....I hope someone finds pics of the Tropicale.... I was a crew member when she was brand new, Carnivals first new build. She was considered huge back in the day, 1982-1984 I was a casino dealer. Time of my life... a lot of my friends left the ships to go to the land casino in Paradise Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin 4 Ever Posted February 13, 2018 #31 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm not a fan of the megaships that carry like 4 or 5000 passengers but those ships look SMALL How many passengers did they carry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTBCruiser Posted February 13, 2018 #32 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Our very first cruise was on the Carnivale, 7 day in May 1991 out of San Juan. We had an inside cabin and thought the ship was "huge"!!! We had a blast but did not sail for almost 21 years because of kids and much traveling while in the AF. Glad we took up cruising again. The Carnivale will always have a special place in our hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blarko Posted February 13, 2018 #33 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures to share, but my first cruise was on the Mardi Gras in 1984. One thing I remember about the ship is the “casino”. It was a small room with only slot machines in it that you fed quarters into. Nothing like they are today. Sure wish I had pictures.

Rare dctravel Posted February 15, 2018 #34 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I just made the connection here - Crystal Palace is also the name of the Ecstasy's casino. I wonder how long Carnival owned the resort in Nassau? I bet it was heavily promoted onboard. Probably so. It is where we went for our excursion. Looks like they owned it until 1992. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1992-01-23/business/9201040643_1_carnival-air-carnival-cruise-lines-carnival-spokesman Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dctravel Posted February 15, 2018 #35 Share Posted February 15, 2018 The Crystal Palace was closed just a few years ago and is now part of the Baha Mar complex. https://www.caribjournal.com/2015/02/12/nassaus-crystal-palace-casino-closes-ahead-of-baha-mar-debut/# Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
