I don't know about Carnival, but neither of these are Norwegian names. I just got a brochure from them and they don't have a ship with either of these names.

Re: New Ship Names Announced

I just checked and they are both Carnival. The Carnival Dream and the Carnival Fantasy are part of the Fantasy class.

I'm surprised that Disney didn't come up with something original.

Disney: Elegant, classy, kid-friendly, personalized

It's kinda like why one would choose to stay onsite versus offsite at Walt Disney World. Sure, the offsite lodging is going to be cheaper, but the onsite hotels are just that much better in ways that both can and can't be quantified.

Not meaning to offend anyone, of course. Just my $.02.
I've never personally done a Carnival Cruise - but I've sailed with Disney twice and they were truly remarkable experiences. That being said, there are many, many cruiselines that are not "neon, brash, loud, mass-produced, adult". Norwegian, RC and Princess are very family-friendly cruiselines, with wonderful facilities, for adults and kids alike, and luxurious ships. Don't write off every cruiseline, just because it isn't Disney. Yes, Disney IS wonderful - but the cost of their cruises make them almost inaccessible for a good portion of people (we used our DVC points).

I agree they need to say Disney first or people like me will be confused

How about this one from NCL
The Norwegian Dream cruise ship departs from Seattle WA, and Houston, TX. Throughout the year, she offers ocean cruises to Alaska/British Columbia, Mexican Riviera, and Panama Canal.

Re: New Ship Names Announced

NCL is constantly changing their ships and their names about. I do seem to remember they use to have a Dream, but it isn't listed now. We sailed on the "Norwegian Jade" last year which had been changed from "Pride of Hawaii" 6 months before.

I found that to be true with them. That's why I check online
