The Carnival Ecstasy is a Fantasy Class ship. It was built in 1991.
We sailed on the Carnival Ecstasy in May 2013. We took our granddaughter, Rayven, on a high school graduation cruise.
The photo was taken at the cruise pier in Nassau.
Carnival has been heralded in already!
It actually takes place from the Thursday before Ash Wednesday..(20th of February) to the 25th... that is, the street carnival.
In fact the official opening of the carnival season is on the 11th of the 11th at 11 minutes past 11am of the previous year!
Then there are balls and events which only get interrupted by Christmas!

In the Mexican port of Puerto Vallarta 22 passengers were participating in the Carnival organised “City and Jungle Tour” when they were confronted by an armed bandit.
The bandit made off with money, cameras, passports, purses and a variety of other valuables.
Fortunately no shots were fired and nobody was hurt but they did have some great stories to tell after the event and there has been no reports of a repeat performance.

I was at the local farm market yesterday when the little tractor came in from the fields towing a wagon and then unloading these Carnival Squash into the bin. Fresh from the fields.
The carnival has been a frequent motif in my fine-art photography for the last 15 years. I have traveled to many fairs and carnivals around the Midwest to take photos. This past weekend I noticed a Ferris wheel set up in the parking lot at the Columbia Mall parking lot in Columbia, Missouri. Later that evening, I loaded my gear and went up for some shots at sunset and dusk. The Ferris wheels at carnivals always take a long time to gather the passengers because it has to stop frequently to load and unload. As a result, it can take some time for the wheel to rotate for motion blur photos. If there are other rides nearby, you have to play the same kind of waiting game. After many shots, I captured this picture of the Ferris wheel and Yo-Yo in motion with ominous clouds in the background.
The photograph was taken with a Sony ILCE-7RM3 camera with a Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM lens at ƒ/22.0 with a 6-second exposure at ISO 50. The processing was done with Adobe Lightroom CC.

The carnival and the atmosphere was totally incredible.
Wonderful World
by the Cinquini brothers.
Nelson Mandela, the protagonist of the float, sacrificed 27 years of his life locked up in a small cell, nurturing the hope of
demonstrating to humanity that the world is actually a wonderful place. The message left to us by him is stronger today than ever.
We are only realizing this now, after being locked in a house for several months of self-isolation.
On the giant Noah's Ark, the smiling face of Nelson Mandela enters the carnival. A new biblical boat needed to escape the flood of intolerance, ignorance, and hatred in search of a better world where everyone can exist freely without fear of living their own lives. On a large boat, you can see the emblems of culture and human progress of each era.
I've always experienced a feeling of sadness at carnivals and fairs. I see people all around me enjoying themselves, eating carnival food, drinking, and basically living in the moment. But it's not like that for me. I seem to dial into a melancholy sub channel. Carrying a camera to events like these reinforces the concept of being an outside observer. I felt this very strongly the other night as I wandered about a summer street festival. I felt so disconnected from the proceedings it was almost like becoming invisible. People seemed not to even notice me and that often plays to my favor. I much prefer to capture scenes like this as they are, or at least as I see them. This series started off at sunset, and the results were initially mundane, bordering on disappointing. But all of that changed when a thunderstorm brewed up suddenly. The rain quickly thinned out the crowds which created some open space. The residual sunlight caused a wonderful definition between clear sky and storm cloud. The rain yielded incredible light reflections off the pavement. The lighting was pure magic yet I seemed to be the only one able to realize it.

This was the girls' dessert table, complete with one birthday cake for each of them. We had a jumping castle, made balloon animals, and played carnival games. The kids had a blast.

The Carnival of Venice doesn't occur until February, but the city was already gearing up. These mask appear to be on the lower end of the items available - some of the mask being created were amazingly detailed and elaborate.
