I am not a Carnival fan, but they keep building ships, and we have a hunger to photograph them.
Don't knock the funnels. All the latest Carnival ships have a similar appearance apart from the funnels. However Carnival does try to give each ship a funnel that links it to its original company. Hence the different funnels on Carnival, Costa and Holland America ships etc.
I think we should enjoy the fact that in this modern homogeneous world the company is trying to maintain a small tradition (even though it is more of a marketing tool than to do with traditions)
It is perhaps the only link with the past that would have certainly disappeared long ago!
