All Carnival cruise ships names have the prefix "Carnival", they are also referred to as "Carnival Fun Ships", and there's a very big reason for all that. The first Carnival ship (though a second-hand vessel) was quickly renamed "Mardi Gras" - there you have another big reason.
Why all Carnival ships names feature the word "Carnival"? If you read to definition for the word "carnival" at Wikipedia. you'll find synonym words like festive, holiday, celebration, parade, party, fun. And the season and reason for this special human festivity is the time of new beginning - when Winter meets Spring. And all this tells you exactly what? We're living in a glorious time made of free choices by free-minded individuals seeking the limits of their imagination, special life experiences and the endless opportunities to incorporate in life their talents, interests, ideas, dreams, all that's sacred and special to them. All connected, almost as one. This is the best time to be - right in the middle between the empty-shell morals of the distant past, the absurdity of the recent past, the free now, the near future of reason and the magical distant future times. This is the time when Carnival happens - for a reason. Because this is the time for you to be Fun!
