Carnival Cruise Line
Cruise Style: Mainstream
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 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.
