Tropicale to Costa Tropicale Conversion

A friend of mine was on the ship when the conversion work was being done from Carnival's Tropicale to become the Costa Tropicale
and took some pictures of the atrium and the Promenade deck. I have several other pictures if folks are interested.

Regards,
Bob

any more photos

do you have any photos of the funnel conversion from the original winged funnel to costas funnel type?

She is still sailing as Ocean Dream, but not for much longer apparently.

As Nicholas says (welcome aboard Nicholas!) - Pics of the funnel would be interesting.

My painting of TROPICALE hangs in the Cucina on board the new COSTA PANORAMA.

Also, did Costa add a second whistle, that is on the funnel, or did the original Tropicale have a set of 2 already?
There was 1 already on the mast, but not sure if there was that second one from the begining.

Here is footage of the 2005 refit and conversion from Costa to P&O in 2005, as per my own cruise DVD from 2006.
