The world’s largest cruise line
originated the concept of “Fun Ships.” With lavish Las
Vegas style revues in multi-deck show lounges, 24-hour pizzerias,
and expansive health and fitness centers to work off the calories,
the ships are fantasies afloat. Even the décor is fun; each
vessel features “themed” public rooms, ranging from
ancient Egypt to futuristic.
Special Features
A choice of flexible dining options and casual alternative restaurants
are available on Carnival ships. Their unique dining room scheduling,
which includes a selection of four set meal times, means the ships’
galleys serve fewer meals at any one time. The result is better
service and higher quality food preparation. Carnival’s team
service concept means a more relaxed waitstaff and a satisfying
dining experience for passengers.
Carnival’s trademark Nautica Spas are some of the largest
and best equipped at sea with a trained staff to keep passengers
in ship shape form.
Some of the most spacious standard cabins at sea and abundant self-service
laundry facilities make Carnival ideally suited for families.
Carnival is so sure that passengers will be satisfied with their
cruise experience that they are the only cruise line to offer a
Vacation Guarantee. Just notify them before your first port of call
if you are unhappy for any reason. Should you choose to disembark
at the ship’s first non-US port, Carnival will refund the
unused portion of your cruise fare and pay for your flight back
to your embarkation port.
Your Shipmates
Carnival’s passengers are overwhelmingly active Americans
ranging from the truly young to the young at heart—mostly
couples in their mid-30’s to mid-50’s. Many families
enjoy Carnival cruises in the Caribbean during holidays and school
vacation months, although Alaska is becoming a very popular family
destination in the summer.
Junior Cruisers
“Camp Carnival” is tops when it comes to keeping young
cruisers busy and content. It also gets high marks from parents
who appreciate the year-round programs run by trained professionals.
Dedicated children’s areas are state of the art playrooms
with separate pools. Group babysitting allows parents the freedom
to explore ports of call on their own and enjoy leisurely adults-only
evenings of romantic dining and dancing. Teens particularly appreciate
activities and parties designed just for them.
