It has been rumored for several months that the Ex Carnivale (Empress of Britain) would be scrapped. I just read from an "unconfirmed" source that she was on her final voyage. She was last named Topaz. Can anyone confirm this?

Dwayne,
if my sources are correct, yes, that is true.  Best regards, Raoul Fiebig |

Thanks, Raoul. It is indeed sad. I didn't think from reading sources that the ship was in that bad of condition. Another classic liner lost.
Wasn't she one of the last steamers? Dwayne |

Yes, she is currently sitting in Singapore.
She has sailed most recently as the Peace Boat...and was headed to scrap, but at the last minute that particular deal fell through. However, sadly it is just a matter of time before another scrap deal does her in.

What a history that ship has.
I would have sailed again on her if I had the chance. I love the classic ships. Dwayne |

That is sad, she was one of the first cruise liners I sailed on. Never had the privilege of sailing on the Norway. Maybe someone will come up with a classic cruise line. Like the classic car clubs we have. Oh, if only I had money

When did you cruise on her Penny?
I was on her last cruise under the Carnival Logo 9-12-1993. They painted over the name Carnivale, and changed it to Fiesta Marina during the cruise. Dwayne |

I want to say it was 1983, somewhere around there. We were on a Thanksgiving cruise. She sailed out of Miami and used tugs and a pilot.

If this was Carnival's Carnivale. I was on her Feb. of 1983, my first cruise. She was a lovely ship and caused my cruise addiction. Hate to see her scrapped.

Hi there,
I actually worked on the Carnivale from March 1985 until 1987 it was a beautiful ship will never forget her. We sailed out of Miami to Nassau and Freeport we did 3 and 4 day cruises. Really sad to hear she might be scrapped. |

Yes, this is sad. What a beautiful ship! I only can imagine the stories you could tell from your experience on her. Dwayne |

Well, it seems like part of her is already missing. What a pity. I do hope no one was injured. It didn't say much.

Thanks, LHP. This is terrible news. How can a tanker collide with an anchored ship?  Dwayne * DISCLAIMER; I personally do not endorse or recommend any of the links that are currently being shown in the posted messages. |

That's a good question. I guess it depends on what the tanker is carrying...perhaps tequilla?? musicalcruiser@hotmail.com 1982 - Festivale 1984 - MardiGras 1985 - Tropicale and Holiday 1986 - Holiday 1987 - Celebration 1988 - Holiday and Jubilee 1989 - Celebration 1990 - Festivale Family Cruises: 1998 - Celebration 1999 - Tropicale 2000 - Fascination 2001 - Inspiration 2002 - Jubilee and Conquest 2003 - Fantasy and Holiday X2 2004 - Paradise and Sensation 2005 - Spirit 2006 - Pride and Miracle and Fantasy 2007 - Fantasy X2 and Victory and Holiday 2008 - Imagination X2 and Legend and Ecstasy and Fantasy Yet To Come: Splendor 11-15-08 B2B Splendor 11-17-08 Freedom 11-22-08 Fantasy 01-01-09 B2B Fantasy 01-05-09 (Penthouse) Fantasy 02-07-09 (Blogger's Cruise) |
