CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES NAMES NEW 130,000-TON SUPERLINERS ‘CARNIVAL DREAM’ AND ‘CARNIVAL MAGIC’

3,652-Passenger Vessels Scheduled to Enter Service in 2009 and 2011



MIAMI (February 9, 2007) – “Carnival Dream†and “Carnival Magic†are the names Carnival Cruise Lines has chosen for its two 130,000-ton SuperLiners scheduled to enter service in October 2009 and June 2011, respectively.

Representing a new class of vessel for the line, the 3,652-passenger “Fun Ships†will be the largest in Carnival Cruise Lines’ fleet and offer a host of innovative on-board amenities and facilities.

“Carnival has earned a reputation as a cruise industry innovator by continually upgrading its product and introducing new and exciting features. Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic will epitomize ‘Today’s Carnival,’ offering the widest variety of dining, activity and entertainment options in our fleet,†said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.

Including Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic, Carnival Cruise Lines has four new ships on order, all of which are being built by Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard. The first of these, the 110,000-ton Carnival Freedom, is slated to debut in Europe March 5, 2007; the 112,000-ton Carnival Splendor is scheduled to enter service in July 2008.

These four vessels will join Carnival’s current 21-ship fleet which operates voyages ranging from three to 16 days in length to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Bermuda, Europe and the Greek Isles.

Just how limited in brain power are these cruise executives that they can't come up with a ship name that isn't already in use ?

Carnival Magic and Carnival Splendor ?! Could someone please introduce those people to Disney and Royal Caribbean. Can they possibly be unaware of the Disney Magic and RCI Splendour of the Seas ?

They do this so often that it seems they do it on purpose. I just can't figure why they would. =shrug

Oops...didn't you mean Norwegian Dream?

Not only do they name ships the same names but who's idea was it to bring Carnival Legend and Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas to the same home port of Tampa at the same time? :dizzy

Well mark my words, since they are using the Carnival Magic for the new superliner, eventually they will build another 130,000 ton ship and name it Carnival Wonder, this way they can completely match Disney Magic and Wonder ships... in fact I am surprised that they chose the Dream and not the Wonder!
