Read all about it, but Carnival's CEO tells the press that the Costa Concordia is a complete loss and will not be salvaged or raised by Costa (Carnival).
In an other report (not linked) Carnival Destiny will undergo an expansion in drydock early next year and will be re-named Carnival Sunshine (probably means new chips!). After retrofit and several Mediterranian shake-down cruises, it will replace Carnival Conquest's, New Orleans routes and it is unknown what is to happen to Carnival Conquest. (I think Costa is down a ship.) Hmmm, could mean more chips.
Anyone know what chips are in regular use on the Destiny?
