mrbassman Posted July 23, 2009 Author #52 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi everyone. It's been a while but I didn't forget. The restoration is coming along well. The model was in a bit worse shape than I thought. Nothng I can't fix, will just take a bit more time. The hull is sanded down and repainted, the decks are all sanded down, in the process of being repainted. Just last night I started applying the first of about 450port holes, (I'm learning to hate port holes !!) I'm still figuring it will take about two more months to complete. An architectural firm might hire me to build a scale model of a business park under development, that will be a paying gig, so the Festivale may need to wait, but I don't think it will materialize. A big Thank You to everyone for the pictures and stories about the Festivale. It makes it more personal for me. Updates to this thread will follow. Thank You, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredjay Posted November 12, 2013 #53 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I was on the festival in 1992 and would like to know the ports of call. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelBCroozer Posted November 12, 2013 #55 Share Posted November 12, 2013 We were on the Festivale July 5, 1987 out of San Juan. I'm glad someone posted the deck plans. I have the Carnival brochure and was about to scan them for you!! How ships have changed!! We were on the Breeze in June!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo214 Posted November 12, 2013 #56 Share Posted November 12, 2013 if i am not mistaken i believe the Festivale was featured in an episode of The A Team. you might want to try to find that for some good views of and around the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennBilly Posted November 12, 2013 #57 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Our very first cruise with Carnival was on the Festivale. I will check my photos and see if I have anything helpful. We flew to San Juan to begin our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkgcars Posted November 22, 2013 #58 Share Posted November 22, 2013 http://www.*****************/threads/festival.6247/ I believe someone mentioned this one (nice shot of the funnel): http://www.classicliners.net/MARDI-GRAS.html Sailed on her my second cruise, March 17 '91. Had the worst cabin in the fleet, M36, which was sternmost cabin and behind a fire door. A lot of noise and vibration. Also, I believe that the movie "Girl on The Bridge" features the Festival, at least dockside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miataman19 Posted November 23, 2013 #59 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Just happened on this thread and all the memories of our first sailings on Carnival came flooding back. Carnival was well established in 1989 but some friends of ours wanted to get all nostalgic and sail on the first 3 ships in Carnivals fleet in one year. Well, we got 2 of them Carnivale in March 1989 and Mardi Gras (Carnivals first ship) in August of 1989 had Festivale booked for later in 1989 but I got sick and we had to cancel. We never did get on Festivale :(. Talked my brother and his wife onto Mardi Gras for there first cruise. OK, into the attic tomorrow:) to dig up some pics...

pghsteelerfan Posted November 23, 2013 #60 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I realize this thread was started in 2009 and never saw it until just now. We were on Festivale in June 1992 for our honeymoon and very first cruise and I still have the brochure with deck plans, which I've scanned and posting pictures of. I'm guessing the original poster no longer needs these but someone else may be interested. I only had a film camera at the time, so I was very limited on the pictures I took but will also include those I got of Festivale. We had such a great first cruise and loved Festivale. Festivale in San Juan, Puerto Rico. There was a Christopher Columbus festival of some sort going on where replica ships were at the normal ship docks in Old San Juan, so we were docked across the harbor.
