The new Carnival Vista from Carnival Cruise Line is closer to its May 1, 2016 launch after the cruise ship’s coin ceremony and float-out. At the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, a commemorative coin was recently welded to the 133,500-gross-ton vessel’s mast, signaling the completion of exterior construction. Soon afterwards, the ship was first floated out and docked to finalize its interior fittings.
