Cancelled - Carnival's Project Pinnacle

The cruising industry has produced some really amazing architectural marvels. However something was being developed in 2004 unlike any other ship ever built. A true rivalry between Carnival Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean to see could build the biggest. Carnival's concept was truly incredible... this is Project Pinnacle.

[@genericdynamics6618]

As a Carnival Engineer i must say this is actually interesting. Some things, let me say, would have been left on the blueprints and would have never seen the caribbean light; I'm referring to the rail car elevating from the lifeboat deck all the way to the sun deck and aligning to the rail track in order to roll all around the deck itself. Clearly too expensive to be skookum enough. The lido features are quite interesting and it could have been easily one of the best in the fleet. The overall design resembles (and actually anticipates) what RCL did with the Oasis Class (vaguely the stern cabins arrangement and design) and MSC (overall design). The funnel itself is a curious divertissement of the snubby short funnel introduced after the Spirit Class came in (Highly recognizable from the glasses grid which, on the spirit class, provide some natural light in the David's Stakehouse). On a more technical side what this ship would have anticipated is the lifeboat arrangement which was introduced this way only with the Carnival Dream in 2009 (using basically no moving davits, gravity nor hydraulic). Really interesting, i really didn't know they were up to something like this but it is obvious this would have been a 1Billion+ investment. P.s. Buddy: Great video.

[@definitely_notme4112]

Carnival’s original mardi gras ship was a little ship built in 1960 and was originally named RMS Empress of Canada and my grandma sailed on her in 1964. it was sold to carnival and became carnival’s first ship. they renamed her mardi gras, and later was sold to three other lines, and renamed lucky star, star of texas, olympic, apollo and finally apollon. she was scrapped in 2003.

[@StsFiveOneLima]

When I am on a boat, I want to know that I am at sea, in every way. I have cruised many times, and I can say that I detest the glassed-in feeling of most ships, and also the fully-lighted shit. Make a space, on such a magnificent ship, where people can feel like they are actually where they are: Upon the ocean, especially at night.

[@MrCaptainandrew]

[@trg78lji43r]

StsFiveOneLima You sound more like a river cruise person.

[@terri639]

You need to be on a much smaller boat if you want it to feel like you're on the ocean. The cruise ships are designed to feel like floating cities of things for guests to do while taking them from port to port. They have stabilizers to prevent guests from feeling the impact of the waves as much. They design the ship so that it's lighted from the outside as much as possible, but without the impact of the elements. None of this is designed to give you an authentic feeling of being on the ocean. The best for this would be smaller ships without the stabilizers and more designed for a sailing experience (rather than floating city).

[@kyleenglot9184]

Try a transatlantic ocean liner like Cunards QM2 or QE2 if you want a ship that has modern features but still holds a bit of the old class elements from transatlantic oceanliners during the Golden age of ocean transportation.

[@SAbowser]

Seeing this channel develop and grow since it's early obscurity has been incredible. You and the Abandoned/Cancelled team should be really proud of what you've accomplished.

[@citizenofcorona8783]

I'm wondering if Carnival was smart in their decision to just create simple ships. I'm guessing it makes sense because they're the mainstream cheap cruise line, and if they created a major luxury ship like the Pinnacle, especially nowadays, it probably wouldn't have been successful. Prices would skyrocket and Carnival would risk losing its place in the cruise line market.

[@skandarc2810]

Citizen of Corona that's what I was thinking too

[@mk202]

I think they were smart to be conservative- if not intuitive at the least. The economy hadn't even seriously tanked yet at the time they priced the Pinnacle. By 2008- the industry would be speculating about the stability of Carnival with over a billion dollars spent on such a risky project, and ostracizing the company for not knowing better- which would have affected the launch of the ship. I seriously do hope to see a ship so spectacular launched at some point though. It seems like a floating, luxury hotel!

[@basscadet75]

It's smart because of the fact that they own all these other cruise lines. They keep Carnival as kind of the Wal-Mart of cruise lines while letting their other lines specialize in different demographics. That said, they don't really have a line that Project Pinnacle would have really fit, and that's something that they're missing. They probably could use a line that competes against Royal Caribbean in sheer boldness of size and design. They could have redefined one of their lines (if not Carnival itself) as that type of line with Project Pinnacle, but instead they chose to maintain the status quo. At some point, that may come back to bite them. RCL is currently the fastest grown cruise company.

[@carterpaulson2257]

@@basscadet75 I'm a fan of both CCL and RCL, really wish Carnival went through with this, while Oasis class is great, they have flaws (very small buffet for capacity, no people mover system for size of ship, bad pool deck with way too small pools, too small solorum area, use of salt water instead of fresh in pools), would've been nice to see if carnival did these things better. RCL did fix the buffet size on the new Wonder of the Seas by moving it down to deck 15 although I haven't been on wonder yet so I can't personally attest to it being "fixed"

These ships are just too large. I even think that the Disney fantasy might be a tad to large. They just have too many people on board.

[@davidhood9712]

Adam Gonzales after being on an oasis class ship, I fully agree. Anything bigger than freedom/maybe quantum class is too big for me.

[@BrightSunFilms]

Adam Gonzales I think the Disney Fantasy is right on the edge of being too large. The only problems that ship ever has with passenger crowding is the family pool deck. I think it does a great job everywhere else though.

[@adamgonzales8316]

Bright Sun Films I completely agree. When I went everyone only had elbow room in hat pool. It's disappointing that with the increased scale of the ship they didn't enlarge the to accommodate.

I went on HAL last April on their Eurodam ship and I fell in love with the size of it. Completely different experience than the massive (not even the biggest) Independence of the Seas in terms of crowds. Never felt crowded on the Eurodam. It's HAL of course dedicated to the elderly, but as a teen bringing my best friends, it was actually a fantastic cruise. We loved it more than the Independence. The Eurodam's docked next to the Indy in Port Everglades and it's crazy seeing the size difference.

Ended up reaching out to Mr. Farcus after watching this interview last month and was pleasantly surprised to hear back. I can attest that he is an absolute gem of a man and a master of his craft. Whether you're a fan like myself of the elaborate and vividly colorful charm or find it a bit overwhelming like some do, there is no denying that it immediately engages a reaction. That connection of creation to sense and emotion is, at the very definition, art. When life gives you a boat you gotta rock it sometimes.

I am working my way through all your vids, and it is currently 2023. I am hoping there will be a video of the cruise ships that were scrapped during pandemic. I have seen some pics, and it is hauntingly sad to see luxury ships abandoned.

The rear reminds me of the Freedom Ship.

[@zarieyoung4789]

Imagine being trapped in the monorail as the ship sank or lost power 💀 (as u can tell I’ve somehow got onto a sinking ship thread and is paranoid)

[@kjj26k]

That's what happened with the _Costa Concordia._ Several people in the elevator when power went. Ship sank slowly too. What a hell a way to die...

[@TheJrbdog]

You should do a video on Camp Snoopy.

[@brickman409]

oh, did they take that out? That was my childhood man, lol

[@MoreColtraneChanges]

TheJrbdog They still have it at Cedar Point.

[@TheJrbdog]

Smasher 1303 I had no idea Camp Snoopy was owned by Cedar Fair. I thought it was a one-off thing at the MOA ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Marylandbrony]

Is that the camp where Snoop Dogg invites people to smoke weed with him for like a week? Sorry just had to.

[@MoreColtraneChanges]

TheJrbdog Yeah, a lot of things are like that with Cedar Fair. I think they also have one at Knott's Berry Farm.

“Carnival stuck to ships they knew would work” this would’ve worked no other cruise ship has some of these features this ship would be a gold mine for carnival

[@emmyr824]

I went on the Carnival Vista with my family a few years ago and they have a kind of floating bike ride thing, where you cycle in a bike suspended above part of the ship on the top deck. While it’s obviously nothing like the people mover, at the same time when I saw the people mover concept in the video it reminded me of that.

[@itsjustrobby]

Yo this guy designed the first cruise ship I've ever been on.. The Carnival Miracle

[@jwsalveson7936]

The New MSC Seaside looks so much like The Pinnacle. Especially the back of the ship.

[@EdwardTravels]

Wow. Imagine if Carnival had built this ship. Thanks for posting this video

[@evana1900]

I watched a documentary on discovery or something about this ship many years ago. It was about how the design was strong enough with its crazy features. Sad to know it was never built.

[@moon-rvr]

Great video, Jake! I love cruise ships and I hope I can go to one some day, so this was some good history. Seems like RCCL is the Disney of cruising. (Also, "Sympathy of the Seas". Shhh, don't give them ideas! If that becomes a real ship the it'll be your fault, heh.)

[@Ryan-wd3hd]

Do a cancelled/abandoned episode on the Boeing YAL-1. It's military not commercial but still interesting. It was designed with a huge missile destroying laser.

[@egert2021]

Good video. Watching from Estonia.

[@xPad1x]

+1 on the people mover system for Royal Caribbean lol. I went on Harmony of the Seas a couple months ago, and it easily took at least 20 minutes to walk from the back to the front at a normal pace. An absolutely HUGE ship, and also probably the best week of my life so far.

[@ausername5410]

You would have need to spent a month on this thing just to probably see half of it

[@matthewjimenez655]

I think this will come around later on in the future

[@ipilides]

Excellent video Jake

[@MarkkuRanin]

In late 80’s there was a same size project to share the common areas by three hotel towers on top: Hilton, Sheraton and cannot remember the third. I see this happen in Kuala Lumpur where Sentral Station Hilton and LeMeridien towers share pool garden down below

[@te1pster]

9:28 Sympathy of the seas. Interesting.

[@jamesocton5220]

Why does everyone keep saying sympathy😂😂😂😂😂 Sympthony

[@luislugo5562]

This is still my favorite episode :)

[@af-l9820]

When I saw this on my recommendation page I thought it was recent and I was like “cool an other ship that will be bigger then Symphony of the seas” but then I saw that it was made in 2017 and I was sad but yet still interested

[@Weissehunden]

Love the channel! Keep up the good work. I wonder how the new Carnival Mardi Gras ship compares to Pinnacle. Apparently, it can hold up to 6,500 passengers!

[@mrosenblatt]

To note, the Queen Mary 2 is an oceanliner, not a cruise ship. Most websites will separate oceanliners and cruise ships from one another. If putting both into the same category, it should be Passenger Ship.

[@mrosenblatt]

Also, you say "Sympathy of the Seas", it's Symphony.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Matthew Rosenblatt How would you classify the Ulysses? I believe it's the world's largest passenger ferry.

[@mrosenblatt]

Just as that -- A passenger ferry. It's still well behind the major cruise ships and oceanliners, at 2166 passengers and crew. But it's definitely a record holder.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Matthew Rosenblatt Largest boat I've ever been on, or am likely to be. I live in Ireland, and visit Britain by Sail&Rail most years. Never been on a cruise ship.

[@dhicks59]

Carnival: Cancel it Royal Caribbean: we'll call it our oasis class

[@zackrearden4925]

I recently went on a 5 day cruise on the Carnival Valor and I really enjoyed it. The rooms were small but when you’re on a cruise you’re out and about most of the time so I didn’t mind. I’d definitely go on another carnival cruise again, I know it’s not the nicest cruise ship but it was still really fun

[@jmkmediact]

My dreams as a child! Gone! Thank you for sharing :)

[@cajun6316]

I just got off the triumph. Her last sail. She will be docked forever and remodeled, and renamed to *Sunrise*.

[@narcopsy]

Bootlicker

[@vincsntmoses476]

Hi Jake what's first time I saw any of your videos and I quite liked it I didn't know that Carnival was designing anything that big just curious if there are still good designs of that ship that are out I'm thinking about a lot lately about designing my own company and the company that I want to design will be White Star Line I want to bring it back to its goal more day

[@mariella2884]

Wow revisiting this video as we have now left another devastating year in our recent history. It’s splinters into millions of types of loss. 😞
