Carnival Cruise Lines Mega Cruise Ships

 

Carnival Conquest was the first of four Conquest-class ships to enter service when she debuted in November, 2002 and she was followed by Carnival Glory in July, 2003 and Carnival Valor in December 2004. These ships are 110,000-tons, 952 feet in length and carry 2,974 passengers. The other sister ships, Carnival Liberty, enter service in Fall 2005 respectively.

Carnival Triumph and her sister ships, Carnival Destiny and Carnival Victory are not only three of the larger vessels in the fleet, but also have the highest energy. During days at sea passengers from their 20's to their 80's lift glasses with pink umbrellas, dancing the Macarena to a live band on deck. Action is non-stop at night, with the casino and disco lively till the wee hours. At night, you can find dozens of venues with entertainment ranging from lavish production shows to off-color comedians, a fun sing-along jazz bar to cool blues and a hot disco. Carrying a wide range of ages, from singles to the retired plus families and hundreds of kids in the summer and vacation periods, it's a perfect cross-section of Americana. If this atmosphere appeals, you also get some of the largest cabins at sea, good food and a well-run organization that keeps everything running like clockwork, despite a maximum carrying capacity of 3,400 passengers (including upper berths). With the added space these ships offer 13 passenger decks housing 22 bars and lounges, a 15,000-square-foot health club, Internet cafe, four swimming pools and three restaurants, including an upscale "steakhouse-style" supper club serving U.S.D.A. prime beef and other gourmet cuisine and an expanded food service area on the Lido deck. There will be numerous "family-friendly" amenities, including an expansive 3,300-square-foot play area and family recreation area featuring a teen club and video game room.
