It would link there with a commuter rail connection to downtown Los Angeles. A station also is planned in San Bernardino County’s Victorville area. Trains can reach speeds of up to 55 mph while buses are stalled in traffic. After the trains reach top speed, it takes them more than the length of a football field to stop. And, in the 54-minute, 22-mile run from downtown Los Angeles to Long Beach, the trains will go past 101 streets, breezing past senior citizen centers, shopping malls, low-income housing projects, parks, swap meets and industrial strips. Brightline West will connect Southern California and Las Vegas in two hours or almost half the time as driving.

According to Vosik, H-TOWN branded apparel accounted for 40% of total apparel sales in 2023. Tucked inside NRG Stadium, in the club’s largest conference room, the first updates to the Houston Texans uniforms since their inception in 2002 are laid out on the massive table. Helmet decals of different varieties are interspersed with a printout of the style guide showing color names with codes and textile types. Pages of contact sheets showing players modeling the uniforms are spread out.

For single family construction most cities and counties do not require that a plan is stamped by an engineer. Check with your local building official for the specific plan requirements in your area. The Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) is a 200,000-square-foot building located on 238 acres in Sloan, Nev., and will be the base for daily maintenance and staging of trains. This site will also serve as one of two hubs for the maintenance of way operations and the operations control center. More than 100 permanent employees will report on a daily basis once operations begin and will serve as train crews, corridor maintenance crews, or operations control center teammates.

The Gold Line (renamed the L Line in 2020) light rail line opened in 2003, completing part of the planned extension from Union Station to Pasadena. The Hesperia Station will be located within the I-15 median at the I-15/Joshua Street interchange and will function primarily as a local rail service for residents in the High Desert on select southbound morning and northbound evening weekday trains. Brightline West, whose sister company already operates a fast train between Miami and Orlando in Florida, aims to lay 218 miles (351 kilometers) of new track almost all in the median of Interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Foothill Extension

The company won federal authorization in 2020 to sell $1 billion in similar bonds. The company aims to link U.S. cities that are too near each other for air travel to make sense and too far for people to drive. A $12 billion high-speed passenger train line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area has started construction.

With fresh, interested eyes Sue absorbed a myriad of cultures that left her with a deep appreciation of the unique and profound impact of art and design. At the same time, seeing places almost completely untouched by humanity left Sue with a passion for what we would today call green living and an eagerness to incorporate her experiences into her personal taste in design. As chairman and founder of sfa design since 1996, Sue has led the firm to complete acclaimed projects in destinations throughout the United States, U.A.E, Asia, and Mexico. Five bucks gets you a day pass to one of the most unpredictable shows in town. The Metro Blue Line cuts up the middle of Los Angeles County, from Long Beach to downtown, like a surgical incision, exposing an element of the metropolis many never see.

Metro’s Blue Line is a microcosm of the community it serves

Brightline West will connect Las Vegas and Southern California with the first true high-speed passenger rail system in the nation. The 218-mile, all-electric rail service will include a flagship station in Las Vegas, with additional stations in Victor Valley and Rancho Cucamonga. At speeds up to 200 miles per hour, trains will take passengers from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga in about two hours, twice as fast as the normal drive time. After Highland Park station, the line runs in the median of Marmion Way, where trains go at only 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).

Station listing

A second maintenance of way facility will be located adjacent to the Apple Valley station. The Victor Valley Station in Apple Valley will be located on a 300-acre parcel southeast of Dale Evans Parkway and the I-15 interchange. The station is intended to offer a future connection to the High Desert Corridor and California High Speed Rail. The Victor Valley Station is approximately 20,000 square feet plus parking. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Brightline Founder Wes Edens, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, Sen. Jacky Rosen, Senior Advisor to President Biden Steve Benjamin and Vince Saavedra of the Southern Nevada Building Trades.

Construction is underway to extend the A Line further east to Pomona and Montclair. The investment also includes over $800 million in improvements to the I-15 corridor and involves agreements with several unions for skilled labor. The company will also construct three wildlife overpasses, in partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Caltrans for the safe passage of native species, primarily the bighorn sheep. On a recent weekday, I rode the whole stretch — which still takes about two hours one way — in relative peace. The AC is strong, the trains are mostly clean (sparkling, by New York City standards) and a wealth of aboveground stops means access to WiFi is only limited briefly in the new underground tunnels downtown. (Odds are, WiFi will be installed soon enough in these high-tech stations.) The Downtown corridor is definitely the busiest section of the service, but even when the train was at its fullest, it topped out at about 80 to 90% capacity.

Officials hope the train line will relieve congestion on I-15, where drivers often sit in miles of crawling traffic while returning home to Southern California from a Las Vegas weekend. An average of more than 44,000 automobiles per day crossed the California-Nevada state line on I-15 in 2023, according to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data. The original plan called for the extension to end at Montclair in San Bernardino County, but budget challenges forced the construction authority to cut the line back to Pomona. The line's northern terminus is at APU/Citrus College station just west of Citrus Avenue and north of the two universities. The line runs west through Azusa before stopping at Azusa Downtown station at Azusa Avenue, north of Foothill Boulevard. Continuing west, the line crosses over the I-210 freeway and runs parallel to it, entering Irwindale before stopping at Irwindale station at Irwindale Avenue.

The station will be co-located with existing multi-modal transportation options including California Metrolink, for seamless connectivity to Downtown Los Angeles and other locations in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The Rancho Cucamonga Station is approximately 80,000 square feet plus parking. The A Line is the oldest and busiest light rail line in the Los Angeles Metro Rail system, carrying an average of 60,423 riders on weekdays in October 2023. Its initial segment from Long Beach to Downtown Los Angeles opened in 1990, using much of the original right-of-way of the Long Beach Line, a former Pacific Electric interurban line. The line became heavily used, prompting the implementation of capacity and reliability improvements throughout its alignment. A plan to extend the line north to Pasadena in the San Gabriel Valley surfaced in the 1980s but was canceled due to funding constraints.

The Las Vegas and Southern California travel market is one of the nation’s most attractive corridors with over 50 million trips between the region each year. Additionally, Las Vegas continues to attract visitors from around the world, with 4.7 million international travelers flying into the destination. The city dubs itself on being the world’s No. 1 meeting destination, welcoming nearly 6 million people to the Las Vegas Convention Center last year. AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on the development of a high-speed rail between two major West coast cities. “I believe we’ll look back at today and say, ’This was the birth of an industry of high-speed rail,’” Brightline Holdings founder Wes Edens said Monday. The irresistible tidal pull of California style is imbued in these decorative ceramics.

While the H may remind some of a modern Hip-Hop feel, it also is very reminiscent of the Old English font for Rice University. All of it plays back to Houston in obvious and subliminal ways. While the home and road uniforms see an even spread of Deep Steel Blue, Battle Red, Liberty White, and the H-TOWN Blue, the alternate design is a bold departure that still plays into the iconic Texans bullhead on the helmet. While all the team colors are used, jersey, pants and helmet are all primarily the Battle Red. Instead of the primary bullhead on the side, the helmet sees oversized horns that run from just above the face mask mount and up toward the top.

In addition, although MTA Operations does not allow high passenger loads to dictate safe operations, there is pressure to maintain travel times and headway schedule requirements (e.g., a passenger trip from Los Angeles to Long Beach in less than one hour). Continuing west, the line parallels Duarte Road, entering Monrovia, before diverging northwest just before arriving at Monrovia station. Entering Arcadia, the line crosses all street crossings on bridges except for First Avenue at the at-grade Arcadia station. Continuing west, the line reconverges with and enters the median of I-210 and continues west to Sierra Madre Villa station in Pasadena. Six stations serve different parts of Pasadena, with three of them in the freeway's median. In Old Pasadena, the line travels underground for almost half a mile, passing under Pasadena's main thoroughfare, Colorado Boulevard, which makes the Memorial Park station below grade.

Player input showed that they favored how the helmet would appear to the opposing team when dropped down into their stance that had the horns facing the opposing team. While teams such as the Rams and Vikings have had horns, they have been religated to the sides rather than curving over the top. Brightline’s first rail system in Florida connecting Miami to Orlando began initial service between its South Florida stations in 2018.

Here’s the inside story on how a bold new secondary mark came about, bringing in a Houston heritage color, and how fan interaction, the NFL, and Nike Nike fast-tracked the design. Florida-based Brightline Holdings’ Miami-line debuted in 2018 and expanded service to Orlando International Airport last September with trains reaching speeds up to 125 mph (200 kph). It offers 16 round-trips per day with one-way tickets for the 235-mile (378-kilometer) distance costing about $80.

Pasadena Blue Line

As is the case with all uniform designs, testing on film and camera was done extensively. One thing that permeates all four uniforms focuses on the helmets. Leaning into the Houston car culture, all the helmets are gloss with metal flake. In a the right light, a Deep Steel Blue helmet will see the Battle Red in metal flake.

LAS VEGAS (April 22, 2024) – Today, Brightline West officially broke ground on the nation's first true high-speed rail system which will connect Las Vegas to Southern California. The 218-mile system will be constructed in the middle of the I-15 and is based on Brightline’s vision to connect city pairs that are too short to fly and too far to drive. Hailed as the greenest form of transportation in the world, Brightline West will run zero emission, fully electric trains capable of speeds of 200 miles per hour. Brightline West is a watershed project for high-speed rail in America and will establish the foundation for the creation of a new industry and supply chain. The project was recently awarded $3 billion in funding from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. The rest of the project will be privately funded and has received a total allocation of $3.5 billion in private activity bonds from USDOT.

When Taylor Swift released “The Tortured Poets Department,” on Friday at midnight, her fan base quickly got to work decoding the album, looking for layers of meaning and insight into Ms. Swift’s life. In California, approximately 17 million Southern California residents are within 25 miles of the Brightline West station sites. Studies show that one out of every three visits to Las Vegas come from Southern California. Brightline received Biden administration backing including a $3 billion grant from federal infrastructure funds and recent approval to sell another $2.5 billion in tax-exempt bonds.

As Vosik said about not having fear or anxiety about going into a new design, it’s based on the belief that with so much emphasis on speaking to fans, the designs offer something for everyone. It would be simple to say that the new uniforms were a box to click. In reality, the uniforms are an extension of ownership listening to the fan base and challenging the front office to evolve. For Cal and Hannah McNair, they understand the foundation that the late Bob and Janice McNair provided for the Texans. As they’ve become more involved, they have looked to grow that foundation.

Brightline West's rail system will span 218 miles and reach speeds of 200 mph. The route, which has full environmental clearance, will run within the median of the I-15 highway with zero grade crossings. The system will have stops in Las Vegas, Nev., as well as Victor Valley, Hesperia and Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. In California, a proposed 500-mile (805-kilometer) rail line linking Los Angeles and San Francisco was approved by voters in 2008, but has been beset by rising costs and routing disputes. A 2022 business plan by the California High-Speed Rail Authority projected the cost had more than tripled to $105 billion. Company officials say the goal is to have trains exceeding speeds of 186 mph (300 kph) — comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains — operating in time for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.

The concrete structures are hardly dry at the new stations along the $752-million Long Beach Light Rail Line and the trains won’t start running until next summer. But already graffiti, vandalism and theft are major headaches. It has since become a microcosm of the community it serves as well as of the challenges and successes of mass transit in a metropolis where the car is king. The following is the complete list of stations, from north to south. In the design phase, you will work closely with our designers to develop a design concept.

The northern extension was revived as part of the Regional Connector project in the early 2000s, and construction began in 2014. The project enabled A Line trains to run to the San Gabriel Valley via a new downtown tunnel connecting the A Line tracks to the L Line tracks. The A Line's current Azusa–Long Beach service was introduced in June 2023 with the opening of the Regional Connector, incorporating the Union Station–Pasadena–Azusa portion of the former L Line.

Bruce is the master printmaker and cofounder of Blueline Design. He was trained as a fine artist at Washington D.C.’s Corcoran School of Art, with a concentration in printmaking. Not only has Bruce printed for other Artists such as Brockie Stevenson and Jack Pearlmutter; his own original work has been featured in Alexandria, Virginia’s Lyceum and galleries throughout the Washington, D.C.

Getting a seat wasn’t a problem, and equipped with headphones, the long ride was manageable — pleasant, even. The A and E Lines diverge at Flower Street and Washington Boulevard. E Line trains continue south along Flower Street, and the A Line turns east onto Washington Boulevard before turning south into the former Pacific Electric right-of-way at Long Beach Avenue. This historic rail corridor has four tracks, two for A Line trains and two for freight trains. Along the corridor, there are some flyovers to either eliminate grade crossings in more densely populated areas or pass over diverging freight tracks. Passengers can connect with the C Line at the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks station.

Fares are $1.75 for a one-way ticket, and no rider will pay more than $5 a day. For weekly passes, the cap is $18, and once either amount has been “tapped” for the day, all transfers register as free. Instead of designating unlimited passes, the system works similarly to New York’s free bus transfer setup, when a bus ride taken right after a subway trip comes at no additional cost. The line will also likely lead to more locals spending time Downtown, where parking has become completely untenable, and an ongoing influx of great cocktail bars makes taking the train a desirable option.

The Las Vegas Station will be located near the iconic Las Vegas Strip, on a 110-acre property north of Blue Diamond Road between I-15 and Las Vegas Boulevard. The site provides convenient access to the Harry Reid International Airport, the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium. The station is approximately 80,000 square feet plus parking. Another connected stretch, the (yellow) E line can now take a rider from Atlantic Station in East Los Angeles (actual East Los Angeles, near Monterey Park, not the “east side”) through Downtown, Culver City and Palms to a station in the heart of Santa Monica. When the A Line, then known as the Blue Line, first opened in 1990, the line had 54 Nippon Sharyo P865 light rail vehicles, numbered 100–153. These cars wore a unique livery of several blue stripes and a single red stripe, reflecting the Blue Line's color designation and its Pacific Electric Red Car heritage.

The police said the attacks forced the evacuation of more than 1,000 passengers from the boat, a cruise ship called the Cornucopia Majesty, which was docked at Pier 4 at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. "The FBI and local law enforcement were contacted and came on board the ship upon its arrival to Norfolk on Sunday morning to conduct an investigation," the Carnival Cruise Lines' statement reads. MSC Virtuosa is an impressive cruise ship, with a capacity of 6,334 guests. Throughout the series you'll see different parts of the ship (including the MSC Yacht Club and the Carousel Lounge), giving you a taste of what it's like to experience a Mediterranean cruise aboard.

Through flashbacks, we learn Cotesworth fled midway through the investigation, leaving the family and the dead woman's daughter, Imogene (played as a child by Sophia Reid-Gantzert and in the present by Violett Beane), behind. The Coast Guard also deployed an HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft from Air Station Miami to rendezvous with the cruise ship. The police kept Mr. Whitely and several other people on board the ship for hours as they checked identification, he said. The cruise was the Carnival Magic's last trip of the year for Norfolk. The cruise ship has one last trip to the Caribbean this year, after which it will not be back until 2025.

Finding her mother's killer is what drives her, but it often undermines the importance of solving the murder at hand (even if it may be the same killer). She's got access to money, beauty, and brains, and plenty of people on the ship seem to fall for her quickly. Given everything she has so readily accepted in life, it's hard to root for her and her hypocrisy.

The four-night full-charter Days of Summer Hip-Hop Cruise and Music Festival has been scheduled for July 2-5, 2023.

Experience

The dance cruise experience is a major part of the "Music Cruise" specials - especially when famous bands and singers are involved in these actions. And these "musical" deals suggest a hell of a lot dancing on the ship. Imagine you can enjoy (if fortunate enough) your super cool band's performance at sea.

Events

The 2025 edition aboard Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Magic will start in Miami and include stops in St. Thomas and Half Moon Cay, the line's private island in the Bahamas. Join us for Bananaland at Sea, sailing October 14-18, 2024 from Miami to Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas!

And Classical music and Jazz themed cruises offer one truly sophisticated experience at sea. Often music-themed sailings are combined with specials from the category of Food and Wine cruises. These are usually Jazz- or Classic music-themed (often river cruise) deals, offering a gourmet voyage on some of Europe's biggest rivers, such as the Danube, or Rhone and Seine in France. Christian-themed music cruises are another unique offer in this category.

Because day's timing is set according to Easter, it varies by year - between February 3 and March 9. Follows a list with the Mardi Gras dates in the next couple of years (all dates will be on Tuesdays, though  - no matter the year). For Sixthman’s Jay and Silent Bob Cruise Askew, which sailed in February, the cult film's director Kevin Smith hosted a table reading with fans.

“For me, it's the best paid work ever,” he says, noting that on most of his trips, he makes sure to use the fitness facilities, book a massage, and race in the on-board go-karts. He even sneaks in a little work—collaborating with other artists who are also staying on the ship. In the early aughts, fans begged the management of Central Florida band Sister Hazel to organize a weekend hangout with the musicians, which led to an inaugural Labor Day cruise.

Mardi Gras New Orleans is second only to the "Rio Carnival" in Brazil. According to Wikipedia, the Rio Carnival draws record numbers of day tourists to Brazil - 2,2 million for the Carnival Day in 2012. Add to this more than 5 million people for the whole week (around 70% of all annual guests to Rio De Janeiro), with over 400,000 foreigners participating in the week-long day and night music and dancing, and boozing.

Friendship Cruise Festival

“We got Rico Nasty in the house, check this out.” Both performers encourage the crowd to get as lit as they possibly can. Prices for ShipRocked's 2025 cruise start at $1,600 per person for an inside cabin. The fare includes access to all performances and meet-and-greets with artists. Theme cruise events, such as concerts, are included, though some limited-access special events often cost extra. Fares were valid as of writing but are subject to change based on availability. Groove Cruise is the OG festival at sea, and will definitely be one of the best experiences of your life!

Everything from the music in the hallway overhead speakers to artist-hosted mini golf competitions are tailored to create a sense of total musical immersion. Richards used to run a company called HARD that hosted multi-day music festivals in Los Angeles—the kind of event you could sell more tickets to, although that wasn’t always a good thing. Roving ragers like this—the kind where you could end up rubbing shoulders with the lead singer of your favorite band in line at the soft-serve machine—can really only happen on a music festival cruise. And what started off as a few boat-based events at the turn of the millennium has now given way to a robust industry. On his cruises, DJ Khaled does his best to draw both well-known rappers and hip hop artists -- the 2019 cruise featured Cardi B. The 2023 lineup has Lil' Baby and Future, as well as a host of events and parties that will keep the ship rocking all day and night.

There will also be collaboration shows from some of the artists on board, as well as autograph sessions for fans to meet their favorite musicians. The ship features five different venues where notable country acts like Old Crow Medicine Show, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle and Carlene Carter will perform. Along with endless concerts, passengers can enjoy activities like yoga classes and film screenings. The artist lineup of country music favorites includes John Michael Montgomery, Deana Carter, The Bellamy Brothers, Neal McCoy and Lacy J. Dalton.

On those, you'll enjoy the company of hundreds and even thousands of like-minded folks sharing your ideas of God, right and wrong. And quite often, preachers there dance and enjoy the music more than the audience itself. Now 25 sailings later, The Rock Boat hosted by Sister Hazel remains a flagship event of Sixthman’s busy annual schedule. What’s more, Norwegian Cruise Line officially acquired the company in 2012, which meant a stable supply of ships outfitted with the exact specs needed to pull off months of musical sailings. Sixthman is now also helmed by Jeff Cuellar, the former festival director of the massive Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee.

The 2025 lineup will be announced soon, though top bands like Dead Poet Society, Black Stone Cherry, Highly Suspect and I Prevail performed during past cruises. Fans can enjoy one-on-one time with their favorite groups at scheduled meet-and-greets with all the bands. I’ve written tons of articles just like this one that discuss the best music festivals, concerts, events, and parties all over the globe. Themed as "Music Cruises" deals are from the list of the industry's newest inventions. Ridha, a.k.a. Boys Noize, has been a headliner on all four Friendship sailings, participating in Richards’ at-sea lineups as far back as the second Holy Ship In 2012.

And these days, instead of planning a four-day fest for tens of thousands, he’s in charge of filling a four-month block’s worth of programming for a variety of niche but passionate audiences. Electronic dance music fans 21 and older can turn up on this early 2025 Whet Travel sailing from Miami aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. Note that these specialty music cruises sell out — often as soon as cabins are made available. You'll be notified if someone cancels, as well as be among the first to be alerted of on-sale dates for future sailings. Jump aboard EDSea, a 4-night Caribbean cruise departing from Miami, where your favorite artists will keep the party going all night long on the Norwegian Joy. When you're not tearing up the dance floor, relish in the delights of 15 decks offering specialty dining, bars, and lounges, spa and slide pools, interactive activities, and a whole lot more.

The donations will got to supporting the beautiful community of Great Harbour, Bahamas. Great Harbour, just a short boat ride away from Great Stirrup Cay, is home to approximately 800 individuals who face numerous challenges due to limited resources. While donations for the church and school will be raised leading up to GC Miami 2024, this family is urgent need of materials now. This year’s themes are nothing short of extraordinary, with each one giving you creative freedom to express yourself all day/night long. The Groove Cruise Miami 2024 stages have just been announced with daily and nightly themes as well as the Navigate to Groove Cruise events in Las Vegas, Miami and Venice (Florida). Plus, the philanthropic initiative through the Whet Foundation has decided.

The company makes sure performers understand that their cruise won’t be successful—or repeatable—if they just hide in their cabin between performances. The lineup of '70s rock legends includes Air Supply, Kansas, The Guess Who, Melissa Manchester, The Family Stone and Dire Straits Legacy. They'll be performing, hosting events and attending special meet-and-greets. Maybe one stop in Jamaica isn't enough, and reggae vibes are calling your name. This five-night cruise on Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas, organized by Jamrock Productions and Rose Tours, will travel round trip from Miami to Montego Bay and Ocho Rios in Jamaica. Favorites set to perform on board include The Beach Boys, The Four Tops, Chubby Checker, The Coasters, Darlene Love and The Chantels.

However, if you're sailing on a music-themed cruise, rock 'n' roll is the vibe you want as you soak up some sun and cruise the world with thousands of like-minded music fans. Music cruises are simply the most comfortable way to enjoy a festival, because it’s also an incredible vacation! The destinations are always beautiful, the cruise amenities are top-notch, and the sunrises/ sunsets you’ll witness while onboard the ship will leave you speechless. They also can be a fantastic way to get up close and personal with your favorite EDM artists and DJ’s. It’s a really nice and intimate vibe on board these cruises, especially compared to the massive festivals, and it’s pretty common to see artists just strolling around the ship. Popular musical genders on the specially themed music and dance cruises are Rock, Country, and Folk bands.

Carnival Sunshine is 102,853 GRTs and carries 2,984 passengers (based on two per cabin). This ship entered service in 1996 as the former Carnival Destiny and the first in the Destiny Class of the vessel. Carnival Sunshine is the first ship of the Sunshine Class and sister to Carnival Sunrise and Carnival Radiance. Carnival Conquest is 110,000 GRTs and holds 2,980 passengers (based on two per cabin). She was homeported initially in New Orleans, LA when launched in 2002. She made news at the time due to the power lines as the largest ship to ever sail from New Orleans.

What to know before you sail on Carnival Jubilee

Every Carnival ship has a casino, usually smack in the middle of the main entertainment deck. With the latter, you can team up with your friends and family to play giant versions of Connect 4 Basketball or Simon Flash in front of a live audience. Every Carnival ship has one big theater where you'll often find flashy, fast-paced production shows that string together a medley of loosely related tunes. Designed to be quick and digestible, they typically last around 30 minutes and have relatively small casts (just eight on some ships).

Carnival Cracks Down on Unsanctioned Poolside Gambling During Cruise

— the ship's hybrid Mexican-Asian restaurant — one night while I was having dinner there. Whenever somebody bought one, the waiter would demand that they yell "Shot, shot, shot!" before downing it. This was extremely disruptive and added to the already loud atmosphere. Also in the space is Emeril's Bistro 717, a New Orleans-style, for-fee eatery developed by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. Balcony staterooms are proof that while it’s great to be cruisey… on vacation, breeziness is a virtue too.

Cabins and suites

This also includes also ships that are currently under construction as well as ships that have been refurbished and renamed. The two ships — most recently the 2,260-passenger Carnival Luminosa and 3,012-passenger Carnival Splendor — typically operate a mix of three- to 10-night sailings along the Australian coast and to New Zealand. Most of the sailings are six nights in length and include two days in Bermuda. The line also typically offers a few shorter four- and five-night Bermuda sailings and, occasionally, a longer seven-night Bermuda sailing.

Current fleet

The Carnival Spirit has also been mainly based in Australia in recent years. Carnival Dream has a gross tonnage of 130,000 and a guest capacity of 3,646 at double occupancy, slightly less than her sister ships. The ship was also the second in the fleet to receive the new Carnival-colored inspired livery during a dry dock in 2021. Carnival Panorama is the final Vista-class class cruise ship and was built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri. She entered service in 2019 with her inaugural voyage in December of that year. Carnival Panorama is currently the fleet’s only ship with a Sky Zone, Trampoline Park.

What is the significance of the first-ever Carnival cruise ship to exceed a size limit?

To find uncharted flavors, never before seen on land, we had to dive deep. Far below the waves we met a mermaid who swims the depths of the oceans to find the long-lost treasures of ancient civilizations. You’ve gotta trust us… or you can join us at The Golden Mermaid™, where amazing drinks are just the beginning. Cocktail recipes inspired by precious metals and gemstones, drinks served in exquisite glassware, plus garnishes like edible glitter to remind you of sunlight streaming through the waves from up above! All this glitz pairs perfectly with live music, making this the perfect place to relax with an elegant drink before or after dinner. In the world of Carnival Jubilee™ zones are where fun, flavor and relaxation live… and there are six just waiting for you to explore.

Convenient Port Canaveral “Park & Cruise” Hotels

The first-ever Carnival cruise ship to exceed size limits marked a significant milestone in the company’s history, allowing for larger and more innovative ship designs. The Carnival Cruise Ships range from the smallest to the largest, providing different experiences for passengers. For example, the smallest is currently the Carnival Paradise at 70,367 gross registered tons, and the largest is Carnival Jubilee at 183,521 gross registered tons. A good travel agent will quiz you about your particular interests, travel style and preferences, and steer you to the perfect cruise line, ship, itinerary and cabin for you. They can also help you if something goes wrong just before, during or after your voyage.

Carnival Firenze (formerly Costa Firenze)

Entertainment on Carnival Jubilee is a combination of passenger favorites from other ships and new shows that you'll only find on this vessel. Camp Ocean also has an interactive space wall, where astronauts lead kids on virtual expeditions, complete with a ceiling that lights up like the night sky to show the constellations. My favorite bar on Carnival Jubilee is the Marina Bar in The Shores zone on Deck 8. It offers a menu of adult beverages, but it also serves the same specialty coffees you'll find at JavaBlue, which often has a long line.

The Biggest Carnival Ships

Usually, they don't have meat in them, nor was meat listed as an ingredient on the menu. Oddly, there were some discrepancies on board that I was surprised to see on a ship that's been sailing for several months. Combining noise with the annoyance of hawking alcohol, the roving waiters visited every table at Chibang!

The ship debuted in 1996 under the name Carnival Destiny, but the cruise line gutted it, redesigned it from bow to stern and renamed it Carnival Sunshine in 2013. Carnival Legend, themed around legends and lore around the world, has two pools and plenty of places to grab a bite, including the Golden Fleece Steakhouse for a stunning multi-course dinner. See how your selections stack up, or go back for some new ships to compare.

I'm not a huge drinker, so I didn't personally try cocktails from the Center Stage Bar (Deck 6) or Grand View Bar (Deck 7) in Grand Central. The former features a bit of a retro vibe, and the latter is backed by a giant light-up wall that looks like wave. No Carnival sailing would be complete for a carnivore without a visit to Fahrenheit 555, the onboard steakhouse.

Each of the line's earlier Conquest Class ships has around 50 suites. The oldest Fantasy Class vessels have 28 suites and 26 junior suites. You'll also find Carnival ships in such secondary cruise ship ports as Baltimore; Charleston, South Carolina; Mobile, Alabama; and Jacksonville, Florida.

Carnival's Excel class is the newest of the line's nine classes, comprising Mardi Gras (2021), Carnival Celebration (2022) and Carnival Jubilee, which is set to begin sailing for the line in late 2023. If you're interested in sorting by the year they were built, here's a list of the newest to oldest Carnival ships to help you figure out which is right for you. As a general guide, Carnival Cruise Line's ships are divided into nine classes, with the Excel, Venice and Vista classes being the latest to debut. The following is a listing of some of the features that Carnival Cruise Line offers.

The top decks of Carnival vessels are covered in family-focused attractions – pools, waterslide areas and bustling fun zones with such draws as ropes courses and miniature golf. BlueIguana is a Chipotle-style restaurant, with yummy made-to-order burritos and tacos. Created in partnership with Food Network's Guy Fieri, Guy's Burger Joint offers burgers that beat anything you'll find around the pool on other mass-market ships and even most luxury vessels. You'll find at least one of its ships sailing out of pretty much every major port city around the country. The arrival of Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration over the past two years has marked a major turning point for the line.

We make sure cruisers are fully prepared for their cruise vacation with tips on ships and ports.Millions of travelers rely on Cruise Hive in the United States, Europe, Australia, and around the world. The vessel has a guest capacity of 2,124 at double occupancy, along with 930 international crew members. You might be wondering why Carnival Splendor is the only ship of its class in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet. The ship was originally ordered by sister line Costa Cruises as a Concordia-class vessel.
