Breaking: Carnival gets keys to 100th new ship
Carnival Cruise Line is breaking some records today. In addition to taking delivery on new Carnival Magic that debut's May 1, that delivery makes it a total of 100 ships built by parent company Carnival Corporation. In celebration, guests currently sailing on all ships under the Carnival umbrella will join in a champagne toast to celebrate.
In the photo illustration above is pictured new Carnival Magic along with the company's first ship, Carnival Mardi Gras which began service in 1972. At 130,000 gross tons, the Carnival Magic is almost five times the size of the Mardi Gras' 27,250 tons. The Mardi Gras was 650-foot long and had a passenger capacity of 906. Carnival Magic stretches 1,004 feet in length and has a capacity of 3,690 guests. That's a big ship.
That's a big champagne toast too, 27,000 people, believed to be the largest ever.
