YouTube Video Description

This 56 minute video was shot on board the 1991-built MV CARNIVAL ECSTASY during that ship's final cruise in October of 2022. Peter Knego captured glorious footage of the still pristine ship, which is presented via interviews with the captain, chief engineer, Carnival Cruises Brand Ambassador John Heald and numerous guests who had a connection with this FANTASY Class ship. Designed by the innovative Joseph Farcus, the CARNIVAL ECSTASY was one of the most vibrant and over-the-top cruise ships of all time. Less than a month after her final cruise, she was beached for scrapping at Aliaga, Turkey. #carnivalecstasy #carnivalcruise #carnivalcruises #carnivalcruiseline #classiccruiseships #oldships #scrapships #aliaga #scrapyard #johnheald #youdontknowwhatyouvegottillitsgone
