On May 8, Carnival Cruise Lines announced that all eight ships will get the 'Carnival'- prefix. The new names shall be Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Ecstasy, and so on. This makes the naming in line with the newer ships, as Carnival started to add the prefix with the Carnival Destiny. The name change is planned in conjunction with the line's $250 million "Evolutions of Fun" product enhancement project, started in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“Oh, let me midlife mourn by the shrined
And druid herons’ vows
The voyage to ruin I must run,
Dawn ships clouted aground,
Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
Count my blessings aloud....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The northern sky rose high and black
Over the proud unfruitful sea,
East and west the ships came back
Happily or unhappily....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
—Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)
