cruisin'tex Posted November 18, 2012 #27 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My wife and I spent our honey moon on this ship in 1983. There was no where to plug in any thing electric. I think it was converted to a cruise ship from some other type of ship. I remember standing in the dining room and you could almost touch the ceiling. What ever happened to her? Sailed on that ship in '93 with two sons. Built-in upper bunks (not the fold-down types now on ships). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKaren Posted December 23, 2012 #28 Share Posted December 23, 2012 In the mid to late 1980s (I forget the year), we sailed to the Bahamas on 3-night trip. Just an hour or two underway, they started putting the little white bags all along the passageway. The dining room, which was low down and no windows with lots of paneling, was less than half full. That first night in the Bahamas, I was up on deck late at night trying to make the other ships in port jealous of all the fun we were having doing that Chicken Dance and the Makarena (sp?). What a blast. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Aligator Posted March 8, 2013 #29 Share Posted March 8, 2013 A tall order after all of this time! A photo with Carnivale's name in the background - maybe. Receipt - no way! AHEM: I also cruised on both the tss Carnivale, and tss Mardi Gras out of Boston in 1976, 77, and 78. I have the Carnival Capers from several trips, and I have one original ticket/boarding pass in my name. I'm sure that there are a few more of us (old foggies) around. CCL used to do the Bos/ Bermuda run for several years, until they gave it up to another line. The name slips me, but I cruised it. I do in fact have a photo of a group of cruisers, myself included, on either the Carn or MG, still in the foto frame witht the CCL line's logo. I still read the Capers, and think back to the "Good Times" btw, I did try to gain the points, but it was such a big ado, that I stopped trying. I still cruise CCL, but do drift to other lines. R.A.:o May your voyage through life be as happy and as free as the dancing waves on the deep blue sea. anon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorisis Posted August 31, 2014 #38 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My first cruise was on the Carnivale in 1981. Didn't Carnivale and Festivale sail out of Tampa? I think we went on weekend cruises on both of them. I was not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sailed the Carnivale in 83, we sailed from Dodge Island Miami. Now I remember, our cruise did NOT stop in Nassau.

Fun62 Posted September 24, 2014 #40 Share Posted September 24, 2014 My first cruise was on the Carnivale in 1980.

Rare ski ww Posted December 16, 2014 #41 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I did a one week cruise on the Carnivale over New Years in '79. We had a blast a group of about 20-25 all single, it was party, party all week. That got me hooked on cruising & we're still going. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted December 16, 2014 #42 Share Posted December 16, 2014 She became the TSS Topez and then a PeaceShip before being forced to retired in 2010 due to maritine regulations. She was actually the 2nd ship in the Carnival Fleet. Don't know if there was or is more then one PeaceShip, but on our cruise through the Suez Canal in Mar of 2012 we passed a white painted PeaceShip. Didn't know at the time it could of been one of the old Empress / Carnival ships. Just looked back through the pictures and the lines of the ship kind of do remind me of her.

diana2928 Posted February 7, 2015 #43 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hello all!! glad to see people still posting about this Carnivale ship. This was the only cruise I've ever been on. We sailed from Port Canaveral, FL to Nassau, Bahamas. it was a short 3-4 day cruise, some time in 1990-1991? not sure how to check when exactly, but I'm sad to read the ship is no longer in service. Lots of memories from this ship in that short excursion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun62 Posted February 7, 2015 #44 Share Posted February 7, 2015 When I did the Carnivale...it was a 7 day out of Miami and went to Puerto Rice, St. Croix, and the Dominican Republic. April 6th, 1980 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Wind Sailors Posted March 24, 2015 #48 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Our first cruise was our honeymoon. November 1979 on the Carnivale to San Jaun, St Croix and Dominican Republic. We had a interior room, with 2 rather narrow beds, and the bathroom was tiny, the miniature sink and toilet were inside the shower. The weather was lovely, but the seas were a bit rough, I remember staggering back and forth and bouncing off some walls and motion sickness. Now I'm looking forward to our second cruise to the British Isles and we can afford a better veranda room!

Cruiselady83 Posted September 23, 2015 #50 Share Posted September 23, 2015 July 1984.... My second cruise ,the first being The Carla C in 1983. I have very found memories of this ship.My dad and brother are no longer with us,but memories of this cruise always takes me back to happier times. Sadly the Carnival was struck by another liner and had to be scrapped and silenced forever in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
