Carnival Cruises Lovingly Maintains Older Ships
What's Old is New Again
Even while Carnival Cruise Line adds newer, larger and more advanced ships to its fleet, older ships...
Carnival Cruise Line is well known for its innovative ship designs and over-the-top entertainment. The company became the world's largest cruise operator in 1996, but the roots of Carnival's success go back to 1972 when the company purchased two ships: Mardi Gras and Carnivale. These ships were originally built for the now-defunct Eastern Steamship Company, and they were among the first ships to offer cruises to the Caribbean from Miami.
In the early days, Carnival's ships were small and simple, but they were popular with budget-minded travelers. Over the years, Carnival has grown its fleet to include a wide variety of ships, from small and intimate to large and luxurious. However, the company has never forgotten its roots, and it still operates a number of older ships that have been refurbished and updated to meet the needs of modern cruisers.
Among these first new builds were Holiday 1985, Jubilee 1986, and Celebration 1987. These ships were revolutionary for their time and they helped to make Carnival the world's largest cruise operator. Today, these ships are still popular with cruisers who appreciate their classic style and charm.
Carnival's older ships may not have all the bells and whistles of the newer ships, but they offer a unique and nostalgic experience that many cruisers appreciate. These ships are also more affordable than the newer ships, making them a great option for budget-minded travelers.
If you're looking for a cruise that's affordable, fun, and full of history, then Carnival's older ships are a great option. These ships offer a unique and nostalgic experience that you won't find on any other cruise line.
