My first ever cruise ship experience as a passenger - I was only 10 years old It is really sad to see. :(

paul rodrigues Their customer service is deplorable & they’ve done illegal ocean dumping. They should be fined heavily/or closed down.

Hope they go bankrupt for they’re awful customer service & ocean dumping

@@njjeff201 As if Paul was PERSONALLY responsible for what the cruise line did! Take your meds Jeff...

The first cruise ship I ever went on and her sister ships lay at the bottom of the ocean. They were made for a coral reef. I hate to see them used for scrap.

You know ships on avarage live only about 20 years? then the cost of ships upkeep is more than it can make in revenue,thats why they scrap it

Actually 30 years is old. The older the ship the more it cost to operate and maintain. So it's not cost effective.

@@edvardseglitis7128 no I didn't know that. That seems insane to me. A 20-year-old ship seems new to me. I mean if you think about it we keep our aircraft carriers and service for 50 or 60 years. Then I guess that's the difference between the military and civilian stuff

@@setharp Carriers also cost 10-20x more than ships that transport goods. Im not sure about military ships, but for example tankers are in use 24/7 which would wear the ship faster aswell.

@@edvardseglitis7128 yeah it's a good point. I mean when these cruise ships are being used and we're not in a pandemic are they pretty much in use 24/7 all the time? And in those 20 or 30 years do they ever get an engine overhaul or is it just too costly

Me too. I dont like the bigger ships at all. Fantasy was my first cruise back in the 90's. Departed from Canaveral for the Nassau/Freeport. So sad.

Viking

Def gonna miss the mindless captialism and somr of the worst exhaust green house gas emitters in the world. Sorry you enjoy shitty things cheaper to buy your own boat

Matthew Swan aren’t you just the moral majority

Lmfao no they don't. People do anything to dislike something thesedays 😂

You certainly got that right!!

After we got back from a cruise on this ship, news broke that a guest found a camera in there room and a investigation found cameras in multiple rooms.

@Theo Grimreaper cocaine is a terrible drug

They probably aren't a Carnival crew. As I understand it, the normal way shipbreaking deals are structured is that title of the ship passes at a location before the final voyage to the breaking yard - sometimes part way on the journey to the breakers (perhaps even just a few miles offshore of the breakers' yard) and sometimes the last regular port of call. This is probably a Turkish crew employed to run her onto the beach. Many shipowners require their ships to be renamed for their final voyage to the breaker. Often this is done by shortening the name so that all the breaker has to do is paint over part of the name. However, the outside footage showed this did not happen to Carnival Fantasy - I guess Carnival felt people would understand its need to downsize its fleet in the current situation and felt no need to try to obfuscate what was happening. Even so, it is clear that a lot of people had fond memories of this ship and are sad to see it go.

My first cruise in 2004 out of Pt Canaveral - sad to see her go

Sure sounded like it wasn't responding to the multiple commands given. Lot of yelling of commands in the last minutes...

Yeah, she didn't want to go to die!!!

I was wondering the same....

Where is the monarch video?

@@kyledarin9631 Search this term on YT Monarch Pullmantur, destino final, el desguace, en Aliaga Turquia This will give you a view from the bow with the crew saying "She's strong, She's OK" The video from her chief engineer can be found by searching the title Monarch Pullmantur, apagando todos sus sistemas. Jefe de Maquinas

Not really since there are so many the scrap value has fallen away....

Which way are you supposed to hold the phone? Sorry I don't know but I have never filmed anything and then watched the video I filmed on anything other than the phone I filmed it on.

@@alecamal and that is the problem. Videos should be filed horizontal. Flip the camera and do it correctly. That way anyone who enjoys it on any device (TV, computer, etc) does not have their field of vision constrained so drastically.

alecamal always horizontal, unless you stand your flat screen TV on end.

when will offended youtubers learn its the persons choice how they want to film things? dont like it? offended by vertical videos, maybe youtube is not for you.

@@CapStar362 I think offended is the wrong term. It just looks bad, makes me think of walking around with blinders on either side of my head and only seeing a small part of the action. Also, always makes me laugh and think of this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msuTm9mZx5axlaM.html

Same here, went to the Bahamas out of Florida.

I agree....so many memories. I sailed on her 3 times.

Where did you go on your second honeymoon?

Yea they did

Totally agree. It was the first and last time she was run aground.

There's a video out there of the Chief Engineer from either the Monarch or Sovereign switching the power off for the final time. Gotta be a tough thing to do after all the countless hours and years of sweat and hard work.

@@chrishulse7268 Hell, I got all teary-eyed leaving Harmony of the Seas after spending 2.5 months on board her in the ship yard while she was being built. I would feel terrible leaving a ship behind at the scrap yard.

i'd believe beaching crew would be different than it's regular crew, but i'd have no clue.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

@@iswearitsamaddog Guys who go out on a limb usually end up falling on their butt.

You kinda want your bridge crew to NOT know how to beach a ship.

We live in an age of guaranteed machine parts lifetimes, it’s not worth trying to repurpose them much anymore

There are dozens of cargo and tanker ships scrapped daily. The cost of scrap metal wont go down just because of a few cruise ships being scrapped. This is the best way to recycle a ship that cannot be sold to another line (even laying up a ship costs money). And deliberately sinking a ship to turn into a reef is far more expensive than the cost of scrapping. And if just deliberately sunk for the sake of getting rid of the ship is unheard of due to the ecological issues even in deep water. I'm not sure Carnival wants one of those. Inspiration is on her way to Aliaga right now (about a day or two out) and Fantasy was brought in very quickly once she arrived. I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt see 4 little maids all in a row, awaiting the breakers.

Thyri Carver Who controls the price of scrap metal? Not the cruise lines The breakers yards know that the cruise lines are in a bind and they will squeeze Removing toxins is expensive yes Professionally sending a cruise ship to the bottom is expensive yes Imagine the shore excursion to beat all other excursions Charge cruise ship passengers $150 a time to go and visit an old friend

Yea...

@@That1Guineapig. why such a meh responce. Cruise ship demo derby would be the greates sport ever created!

It would cost a fortune to refit them to meet "housing standards". It would be far less expensive to build brand new purpose built housing. As a Canadian I do not want them and most of them would not fit through the locks in the seaway.

Mony hungry owneds who would rather scrap them then see them repurposed and hosently i dont t jo ink they scrap them.for fun i thing theres something to do with hual integrity from my knowage of boatsafter so loanf the husl gets weak

@@hillbillyredneckinyourface5641 If someone wants to pay scrap value for the ships, the owners would happily sell them. Tell you what hillbillyredneckinyourface why don't you and your buddies scrape together some millions to buy the ships and them many many millions to refit them so you can donate them for housing. I will wait for your reply.

@@peggyt1243 yeah wel scraps l9w enough right now i might just fo t ugh at itd oky be a couple thousand at 40 a ton 40x120000thsts slomost in my budget since try a know i live in a car on SSI
