Carnival Building 3 New Cruise Ships (Bigger Ships Than Royal Caribbean) 

BOOK YOUR NEXT CRUISE WITH US!🚢 www.luxrallytravel.com/influencers/bookwithj?referral_src=bookwithj

Sometimes I tune in just to hear you say " What in the carnival is going on here? " You don't disappoint.

8000 people on Carnival = 4000 UFC chair throwin, club brawlin, pizza station Battle Royal fights! LETS GET READY TO RUUUMMMMBBBLLLLLE!

Okay so now we're just playing the, "Mine is bigger than yours" game....

Would love to see Carnival build more 3,000 to 4,000 ships to replace some of their smaller older ships. That would be nice and what cruisers really are asking for. Carnival need to read the comments on the vblogs. Thanks J great update. Good luck with your move. 😊😊

Kinda click bait on the thumbnail. As a huge Royal fan, I can't be more happy that Carnival is going to make bigger ships. As it stands now, Royal has no real competition in the massive ships, and they are under very high demand (we can all debate why, but they are). Meaning costs are also really high. Adding a massive Carnival ship will help alleviate the demand for the massive ships which hopefully will end up lowering the cost for all of us. Better do it really well, Carnival. We are all counting on you to help cruising costs for all of us!

The statistic that got me on this was that it will have a max capacity of 400 more people than Icon of the Seas, but will be 30,000 GT displacement smaller than Icon, meaning a lot less common space for people to gather in. Royal has done a fantastic job of making it not feel like you're on a ship with 7,000 other people (unless you're at the pool at sailaway) by having so much common area to spread out in. I hope Carnival's engineering team figures out a way to keep it from feeling like a sardine can.

8000 people on one ship? Nah, hard pass....

30% more people means 30% more fights on Carnival

Carnival needs to cancel the order for the new mega ships and order some new smaller ships

What in the Carnival is going on

Might I suggest to Carnival that they name these new ships the “Octagon” class!!

I agree with a lot of the comments that say that Carnival needs to start building newer smaller ships too. And not just acquiring 20 year old vessels and re-branding them as Carnival. Their Fantasy Class is just about done, so time to get more. Perhaps a bit bigger than those, but like 120-140 gross tonnage sizes. Celebrity ships are a great example of these sizes. 🙂

Lmao. What in the carnival is going on here? That is the best opening I’ve heard. And just my 2 cents worth we prefer smaller ships to the mega ships I mean you can only do so many activities.

I love carnival but I'll probably switch to royal when their new class comes out. They announced they are going to make new smaller ships (less than 3k people. I love the medium capacity ships but unfortunately only old ones are available at this time as they all shifted towards mega ships. When royals brand new small ships come out I'll exclusively use them

8000 people doesn't necessarily mean the ship will be bigger. They could just jam more people on a smaller ship.

Carnival is my favorite cruise line so i’m really excited about these ships.

Wow! Lots of new ships. Good informative video. Take it easy

I can't wait! I will definitely be onboard.

I hope carnival will have security in place for all of the royal rumbles they have on their ships and flying chairs

The bigger the carnival ship the bigger the fights on them

I read an article about these new planned ships. They seem to be expected to be about the same size as the Oasis class RCCL ship, yet holding about 1,500 more passengers. Oasis class ships for the most part do not feel crowded most of the time. But I can't imagine 1,500 more people in the space...

Holly crap...enough said..

Ships are getting way too big. I hate to see the old Fantasy class ships go away. I can't even see myself booking on anything bigger than a Vista class. When they are big enough to have balconies overlooking the interior of the ship, I'm out. And 8000 people? Ports will be even more obliterated than they are now. My cruising days may be numbered.

8000 thousand! Carnival Animal House AT SEA

I was just on the Jubilee last week and I’ll say that I love the bigger ships, I personally have no problem with them at all

J that's excellent to hear you're getting a better place now hopefully the move will go smoothly and flawlessly you have an excellent day

Texas Cruiser here, Platinum on CCL. Have had two different Friends go on the newest ship, Jubilee. Both said they liked it ok but wouldn’t do it again. One said they had a rainy day and the indoor common areas were very crowded….

just sailed on ICON, pretty amazing ship

Count me out on the large ships. I tried Mardi Gras and HATED it.

all these new ship builds are getting ridiculous!!!

So there will be more fights. Great.

I’m really optimistic about these new cruise ships. Hopefully one of the new “grand” class ships (it’s a name I’m temporarily giving to the new mega carnival cruise ships) comes down to Texas like what they did to jubilee

Medium capacity, nicer restaurants and finishes is what I look for now in a cruise ship. We’ve been on Celebration, Mardi Gras, and Jubilee - great for kids but less so for adults. Celebrity has some very tempting offerings that may make us “jump ship” from Carnival.

Maybe carnival will have a boxing ring for all the fights

I already don’t like how it look with all those rooms stacked up on each other in the front. It’s a people pusher with 8k passengers!

I looked it up and while they will hold 8,000 passengers, they’re not bigger than Royal. They will be about 230,000gt which is more then Symphony but less than Wonder

Although I don’t like the idea of 8000 Carnavillians 😂it’s good to know Carnival is adding newer ships. They needed more options!

Hey Jay, do you think there will ever be a max cap on the capacity of these mega ships? They are really floating city’s 😮 Amazing to me!!

I think Carnival needs to revisit Project Pinnacle from the 2000s

I love Carnival but I have no interest in being on a ship with 7998 guests I don't know.

I want to see the guy with heart shaped glasses sipping on a cocktail video clip👍

With services stretched now, where do they think they will find enough employees to work these new ships?

So over these monster ships...I prefer 2-2.5K passenger ships. Sticking with Celebrity and Holland...

QUESTION- Where are you moving too ? you staying in Florida or moving somewhere totally different ? for a chance of pace in your life ?

I’m holding out for the cruise ship that has a football stadium on the top deck.

Very interesting!

That's a big vessel. 😮

Only Con: more carnival caliber people.

Disney has a new one coming out and I believe it's going to be the largest? Disney Adventure

Why don’t they make some new smaller ships 🤷🏽‍♂️

You were absent on the inaugural Icon sailing. A shame as I was hoping to meet you. You cited cost as a reason. You just made a commitment that you will be on these new carnival ships, but have you given thoughts as to what to do if carnival not only competes on size but also cost? Celebration Cay is definitely Coco Cay derivative, maybe these ships will be Icon derivative including cost?

Almost 300K! 🎉

According to Carnival if you can’t beat em join em. Next big surprise in 2050 is Carnival’s Carnival of the Seas. 😂

It’s insane to have the 8k passengers

I'm loyal to royal. But if carnival was smart. Build smaller ships that will get to better and more ports and they will rule the cruise business

Shipbuilding is a big business.

More people = more fighting on board carnival 🎉

Maybe we'll see a tour of those new ships courtesy of extra fights onboard. I just want my pizza ...lol

from what I see the larger cruise ships have smaller or narrower rooms

Excel class ships actually hold closer to 6600, not 5600, at full capacity. The new ships will be about 47,000 GT or 25% larger but the max capcity will only be 20% more.

Party Time 🎉!!!!

Interesting 😮… my first thought is with that many passengers it is going to be very difficult to get reservations for certain restaurants or shows on the ship plus with these mega ships on the rise how the ports handle this extra influx of passengers and tourists is going to be a challenge going forward….

It wouldn't surprise me if Royal Caribbean came out with a 10k passenger cruise ship by then. Hopefully they can sail out of Philadelphia and NYC

Will carnival then create with the larger ships a true concierge class. Carnival doesn't have anything near haven or yacth club accommodations.

So will there be enough lifeboats to evacuate in an emergency....or titanic again 🤔

Okay cool a bigger ship just to compete with other ships but does that make it safer & can withstand bad weather while on the water. The safety should be the main concern.

Say what you want but these ships sound promising

Smart move would be to build 5 smaller class ships than 3 ‘mines bigger than yours’ ships.

8000 on a carnival ship? Didn’t the frequent fighting craze start with the xl ships at 4000?

Mega Walmart Supercenter at sea

This bold strategy may just pay off, if the real goal is to get as many mid size ships in secondary markets as possible. The biggest ships of course will occupy the current major ports, with Long Beach also getting one at some point, I would speculate. But the big winners will be Tampa, Jacksonville, Mobile, Baltimore and Norfolk. They will reap the benefits of bigger ships, with more amenities.

Royal has no worry about Carnival different customer base...

⚠️🤔 Maybe possibly these new ships will be the Carnival Pinnacle … Research Carnival Pinnacle and you will be shocked that Carnival actually had plans for one of the largest ships back in the early 2000s.

This is why my wife and I seek small to mid-sized ships. I want to relax and enjoy; not sail on a 24/7 amusement park.

Yeah 8000 Carnival passengers on one boat......what could possibly go wrong? I would neeeever eeeeever give Carnival a chance on a boat that big!!!

If they keep building big ships what is going to happen to ports like Tampa and Jacksonville

Im hoping Carnival attempts to bring back the Pinnacle Project with these new ships.

This ship sounds like the chopped up carnival vista but with 8000 people. All of carnivals new ships in my opinion are all to chopped up and tooo many people and not enough stuff. When I was on the icon. At it busiest, I was shocked that, it was it. On the carnival vista. I called it lines ship because the lines for burgers on the lido deck were around the lido deck

Carnival xl ship hold on 66000 at full capacity 0ver 8300 with crew

Not bigger than Royal. The same as Oasis and smaller than the Icon, but Carnival's ships hold 1300 passengers more than the Icon. How do you spell sardines?

I think they are all big enough atp. Focus on safety and value.

What's the difference between largest in the entire world vs largest in the world?

By the time that the new carnival ships come out royal will be also putting out a ship bigger the that!

In a sailing away from Diamond on carnival and won’t be sailing on a ship with that many people. I prefer the smaller ships

Love carnival but I think imma pass.. 8k is way too many ppl. Plus these super mega ships will only be able to go to the same ports

More room to fight lol😂

Royal be like: Look who just woke up

What in the carnival 🎡 lol 😂

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many folks!!! When you have that many folk services are not as good as the smaller ships..

Sooo, 4000 fights per cruise?

More medical stops etc

I use to cruise on carnival that was many moons ago but I’m a Royal Caribbean family the only cruise line other than Royal Caribbean is Celebrity

Nobody’s gonna say it, but they building Arks😳😳

I love your posts Jay,however I think Carnival are shooting themselves in the foot, building bigger ships. More and more ports ,for example in Europe, are having major issues them and banning such large ships, or charging more taxes and port fees.

Imagine in the future where ships like icon of the seas size is a smaller ship like titanic is to us now

Well, maybe this will be useful experience for when we make ships to the moon, or Mars. But for cruises, no, probably not a good experience.

No one needs bigger, just make the existing ships better.

Nahh they done come up with Pinnacle+ class (this is bigger than the 2004 concept)

Them people starting to think the world is going to flood or what?😅
