Carnival trying to steal some thunder.....?

That's amazing! Was that Carnival for a Cat 11 or 12? Versus an 11 for Disney?

For those that don't know, Carnivals "better" classes are the higher numbers where Disney's are the lower number.

Carnival was level 11, - best that I can figure out, probably a 3 on the Disney scale. Not 100% sure, but that's my best guess.

So they announced the names of the 2 new ships coming to the DCL fleet this week, Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy, and the very same night that they make the announcement I see a commercial for Carnival Cruise Line advertising their brand new ship called.......the Carnival DREAM!!!! While I don't know who had it first, and obviously Disney doesn't own the word, it's pretty clear to me that Carnival is blatantly trying to steal some of Disney's business here. Not a big surprise that they would want to do that, but that's just a low blow, IMHO.

I guess your going to WDW right, I just wanted to say have a great time, have fun and enjoy in your upcoming trip. Looking forward in hearing more from you.

Have a nice and safe trip coming.

No, don't feel that way. I said the EXACT same thing to DH when I discovered the Carnival Dream. The more I researched it, the more interested I became.

I think it's good, Disney needs to wake up and realize yes they have a wonderful product but families just can't afford their insane prices. Other ships are going to challenge them and with low rates, they WILL get the Disney customers. I'm in for Carnival! All the family amenities reallly interest me. Also their largest spa at sea!! I can't wait to have a vacation where I can send both kids to the camp, DH to the casino and just relax by the adult pool!

DH won't let me book until after I pay off our WDW trip He breaks out in a sweat having two trips booked at the same time!

Regardless of thunder stealing one way or the other, Carnival is REALLY marketing hard this month. Every time I wander on to their site to check pricing they are watching me! Without fail, I get a phone call from them within a few hours of being on their site. When I don't answer (thank you caller-id) they immediately email me.

Looks like its game on!
