Joe Farcus Talks About the New Carnival Dream

Later this month, Carnival Dream will enter service. At 130,000 gross tons, she will be the largest ship yet built for Carnival Cruise Lines. She utilizes an underlying design that Carnival first introduced with Carnival Destiny and has been developing with each mega-cruise ship (100,000 plus tons) that it has introduced over the course of the last decade. This has been a very successful and popular design and thus passengers can be assured of finding on Carnival Dream the features that they have enjoyed on earlier Carnival ships.

Yet, Carnival Dream is not just a bigger version of past Carnival ships. Amongst the features being introduced on this ship is a wrap-around outdoor promenade with hot tubs cantilevered over the side. Linking this area to the indoor public spaces will be a new plaza that will be part entertainment venue, part dining area, and part lounge.

Of course, no two Carnival ships are the same. Carnival’s architect Joe Farcus ensures that each ship has its own interior design, each reflecting a different central idea. These creative designs help to give each Carnival ship its own identity and enhance the guests’ vacation experience by both challenging them intellectually and dazzling them visually.

Consequently, who better to talk about what Carnival is trying to achieve with Carnival Dream than Mr. Farcus? My interview with Mr. Farcus appears at: http://www.beyondships.com/CarnivalDream-art-Farcus.html
