Too bad Carnival isn’t considering those of us that like smaller ships and can drive to a port that has them. I guess Baltimore, Tampa and others that can’t handle mega ships will be no more once the spirit class ships get too old to sail. Such a shame, Carnival isn’t listening to their customers and thinks mega ships is the answer.

Amazing that new Disney ship once again it is Disney Destiny.

Very excited for the big new ship class from Carnival! I think Carnival will eventually order some smaller ships but want this new project to get in the works first. I think they understand the need for smaller ships, it's just not in the current fleet expansion plans. I emphasize the word current!

Shipping Italy reports that Carnival Corporation and Fincantieri are in talks about building 6 to 8 ships at 150, 000 gross tons. The ships would be deployed scross mutliple brands.

Carnival isn't listening to its loyal base at all.

Even NCL built a whole new class of ship that only accomdated a little over 3, 000 passengers.

There is still pelnty of demand for smaller ships, but Carnival would rather attract a group of people that probably wouldn't ever realize that they are on water while they get off on their floating amusement park.

Just because you can spend $8, 000 on a crusie, it doesn't make it a smart purchase.

8, 000+ passenger ships to be built by Carnival. Ok so when is too big & too many just too much? Is it at 20, 000 passengers or at 30, 000 passengers or maybe 100, 000 passengers??? Enough already!!!!

Not catering to this US person, Won't find me booking anything over 3, 000 people capacity.
Only way Disney will happen is if I take grandchildren

I like big ships but these mega ships are way too much. I’ll take the 3 and 4000 passengers ships any day over these monster ships.
