Rare foodsvcmgr Posted August 4, 2020 #26 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Look at the video of Fantasy beaching taken on the bridge. All Carnival officers are present but taking guidance from an Aliaga pilot, just like any port except there are only arrivals here, never departures sadly. Then a crane lowers the Captain off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarons1584 Posted August 5, 2020 #29 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Inspiration has been beached, between the Fantasy and Sovereign. Appears she slammed into the Fantasy and lost some or her forward momentum as she is sitting further back than the other two 😞 Edited August 5, 2020 by aarons1584 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachDiva101 Posted August 5, 2020 #31 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Man, they have them all crammed in there. So sad. I’m watching another thread under RCI and waiting to sea also what RCI does with their oldest ship Empress on the RCI thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhyIsTheRumGone23 Posted August 5, 2020 #35 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sad to see her go. We sailed both, the Inspiration and the Imagination out of Long Beach. Imagination was one of our worst (if any are truly that bad) cruises and Inspiration was one of our favorites. Always enjoyed the Fantasy class and will mourn each one as they go. Memories live forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7786W Flyer Posted August 5, 2020 #36 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) They (the scrappers) aren't wasting any time. If you look closely at the Sovereign's bow, you can tell they've already started the dismantling process.

Rare Saint Greg Posted August 5, 2020 #38 Share Posted August 5, 2020 One of my social media pages advertised this company that makes pieces of airplanes into individually numbered key chains. Prices ranging from I think $15-100 depending on the plane. It could be anything from a civilian aircraft to a SR-71. I bet if they took a couple pieces off of the Carnival ships and did that people would buy them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they would probably sell, but not sure Carnival would ever engage in something like this...at least not based on what I was told several years ago. Allegedly, some years ago, Carnival was offered (for a price I'm sure) the ship's wheel from the original Mardi Gras when she was scrapped, but they turned it down. If you believe those making the allegation, Carnival wasn't interested in preserving their own history. However, there's always two sides to the story...who knows what Carnival's thinking was at the time....maybe the asking price was too high.

Garnett I do know JH said they saved a few items from the Fantasy. I believe it was the ship model, bell and coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisin from vegas Posted August 5, 2020 #42 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I was booked on the Inspiration for 10/2/20, obviously cancelled. Ironically I received my full refund today....the day she was beached. Sad. But only took 16 days for my refund 😢😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob never had 4 functional cruise ships or any ships parked there at one time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave0311 Posted August 5, 2020 #49 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Those photos are so surreal. I know the ship is being scrapped; it's just crazy to see them banged together like that. What a sad ending for those ships. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a sad ending for those ships. i wonder what the bottom of the hull looks like when it is being scraped against the ground during the beaching process. that might be worse then the ships colliding with each other Edited August 5, 2020 by shof515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
