Carnival Cruise Line’s oldest ship, Carnival Ecstasy, just lately sail her remaining cruise after greater than 31 years in service.
Carnival Ecstasy’s remaining cruise was a 5 night time crusing out of Cellular, Alabama on October 10, 2022. After the cruise was over, the ship sailed to Miami the place the vessel stayed docked for a number of days.
On October 20, the cruise ship departed from Miami and is now headed in the direction of Aliaga, Turkey. Carnival Ecstasy’s ETA in Turkey is on November 7, 2022.
There’s a giant cruise ship recycling middle in Aliaga. 4 of Carnival Ecstasy’s sister ships (Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Sensation, Carnival Creativeness, and Carnival Inspiration) had been scrapped right here in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As soon as the ship arrives on the scrapyard, crews will work deck by deck taking something invaluable that they’ll dump of the vessel. This will embrace chairs, TVs, tables, lighting fixtures and many others.
The ship is then reduce into smaller items the place will probably be melted down and recycled.
Over the 31 years in service with Carnival Cruise Line, Carnival Ecstasy carried greater than 5.5 million friends on greater than 2,300 cruises.
