Carnival Cruise Lines have finally named their 25th ship and it's Carnival Vista. What do you think about the name choice, I kinda like it.

A bit of an irony that a ship named Vista isn't one.

They considered a new series ... the Carnival Breakdown, the Carnival Towline, Carnival Spam, etc. .... but did not think passengers would flock to those ships.

At least it will be the only Vista for the moment ... until we get the Vista of the Seas .... versus Magic where we have a Disney, Carnival, a Magicia, etc.

Since it is number 25 it should have been the Carnival Mardi Gras but then they would have shown interest in history instead of the bottom line.

Also Carnival Breakdown sounds too much like NCL Breakaway.

You heard NCL named the next two?

The name Vista could be confusing given the number of Vista class ships in Carnival Corp's fleet with P&O, Cunard, HAL and Costa. The Vista class is a close relation to Carnival's Spirit class and the new Carnival Vista belongs to neither.
