Once considered to be the "party boat" cruise line for the 20-something crowd, Carnival has been undergoing an image overhaul in recent years. Carnival's newer ships reflect a main-stream dιcor that is less glitsy then the older ships. However, Carnival's "Fun Ship" moniker lives on and there is plenty of fun to be had. On this cruise line you will find something for everyone of all ages. A great kids program "Camp Carnival" makes Carnival Cruises a favorite for families. Carnival puts a lot of work into their entertainment.

The Las Vegas-style shows produced by Carnival's own production company are as good as any at sea. You are sure to find many lounges and bars on a Carnival Cruises ship with a variety of quality musical acts. In fact, it is safe to say that you will never be bored on a Carnival ship, unless you choose to be. While the quality of food on Carnival has improved over the past few years, the portions and number of dinner courses have been reduced. Nevertheless, the options for dining are numerous and you will never go hungry on a Carnival Cruise. Generally, the food is average to good with one exception, the new Spirit class ships have an upscale restaurant that gets our Cruise Reviews Online Best Award for Alternate Dining. If you are looking for a fun vacation at a very reasonable price, a Carnival Cruise is a great choice..

For nine years, starting in 1990, Carnival designed, produced and launched its immensely successful Fantasy-class ships, 2,052-passenger vessels at 70,367 tons; these include Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Ecstasy, Carnival Sensation, Carnival Fascination, Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Elation and Carnival Paradise. Market changes, however, dictated new designs with more balconies and cushier staterooms. Carnival Destiny, a 101,353-ton ship that carried 2,758 passengers, debuted in 1996; two sister ships followed -- Carnival Triumph in 1999 and Carnival Victory in 2000 -- both of which added another 700 tons and 58 staterooms, bringing their capacity to 2,758 passengers.

Carnival continued to update and upgrade its ships with an aggressive new-build program, with three new additions in 2002: Carnival Pride, Carnival Legend and Carnival Conquest. In 2003 Carnival Glory debuted, the second in the Conquest class. 2004 saw two more vessels emerge from Italy's Fincantieri shipyard: Carnival Miracle in March 2004, part of the Spirit class, and Carnival Valor, another Conquest class.

A fourth Conquest-class ship, Carnival Liberty, launched in 2005, which brought the fleet total to 21. Carnival Freedom, the fifth and final in the Conquest class recently launched in 2007. Carnival Splendor, slightly larger than Conquest-class vessels, is scheduled for a spring 2008 launch.

Superliners "Carnival Dream" and Carnival Magic" will enter service in October 2009 and June 2011, respectively. The 3,651-passenger ships will be the largest in the fleet.

And while there are two new-builds on the docket, Carnival has also committed $250 million to revamp its eight Fantasy-class vessels as part of its Evolutions of Fun initiative. The vessels will receive extensive upgrades, which include the addition of a aqua park with new, twisty waterslide; new carpets and furnishings throughout; improvements to the spa facilities; new kids clubs for the 12 to 14 set; mini-golf; flat-screen TV's in cabins; and more. Imagination and Inspiration were the first to received the upgrades. Fantasy is set to get a makeover in 2008, and the remaining five ships in 2009.

Plus, the line maintains its remaining "classic" ship, the nearly 20-year-old 46,052-ton Holiday, offering four- and five-night cruises out of Mobile, Alabama. As of April 14, its other aging ship, the 17-year-old 47,262-ton Celebration has been transferred to Iberocruceros, a joint venture between Carnival and Orizonia Corporacion, Spain's largest travel company.

The explosive expansion at Carnival Cruise Lines extends beyond just its ships. Parent company Carnival Corporation is the industry's biggest; other cruise lines in the family fold include Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland America Line, Windstar Cruises and Seabourn. In a year-long effort, Carnival Corp. acquired P&O Princess (now named Carnival P.L.C.), which added the following companies to Carnival's portfolio: Princess Cruises, Swan Hellenic, P&O Cruises, Ocean Village, AIDA, A'ROSA and P&O Cruises Australia. Carnival also operates three riverboats on Europe's Danube River, Holland America Tours, and Princess Tours in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon. The stock is traded on both the New York and London Stock Exchanges. Carnival Corporation & P.L.C. is the only entity in the world to be included in both the S&P 500 and the FTSE 100 indices.

 

Carnival, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Miami, is the world's largest cruise line. The line's humble origins pigeonholed it as the cruise industry's version of a floating fraternity party for a long, long time. But that was yesterday, and while Carnival still commands a certain reputation for a flashy, neon-esque atmosphere -- and by no means skimps on elaborate lounges and discos -- its ships continue to evolve. The current generation of vessels have a more sedate design, better-suited to longer sailings.

In particular, Carnival's earned kudos for enhancing cuisine (never a high point in the old days), investing in a top-notch children's program, and expanding its itinerary offerings beyond its traditional Caribbean and Bahamas trips to regions like Alaska and Atlantic Canada. It offered its first European itineraries in 2002 (Carnival Legend sailed a few cruises after its inauguration in Harwich), and in 2005, Carnival Liberty spent a full season in Europe -- a first for the line. The line has also taken advantage of the fastest growing cruise segment in the United States, short vacations of three to five nights, and has deployed most of its Fantasy-class ships to those markets. Those ships are currently being redone to include updated bathrooms, children's areas, and all will offer water parks and adult serenity decks to compete with similar size vessels (more on Fantasy updates in fleet section).

Carnival is one of the world's most innovative cruise lines. In 1996, Carnival debuted the first passenger vessel to exceed 100,000 tons: Carnival Destiny. It was also the first major cruise line to build and operate a completely smoke-free cruise ship, Carnival Paradise. After nearly six years of butt-free sailings, the ship, now deployed in California, has gone to a "limited smoking" policy where guests can light up in the casino and just a couple of bars and lounges, but not in cabins nor most public spaces, even outside -- except for midship-only on the Lido deck.

Standard cabins now include robes, and the "Carnival Comfort Bed" sleep system features deluxe new plush mattresses, soft duvets, high quality linens and upgraded pillows. (Suite passengers have a "suite pillow menu" from which to select a specific pillow of their liking.)

But perhaps the biggest potential improvement is the quantum leap in culinary quality due in part to the new partnership with Michelin three-star chef, Georges Blanc, who is developing new menu entrees fleetwide and instituting training for Carnival chefs both in his Vonnas, France, restaurant and aboard the ships themselves.

Carnival also pioneered the concept of building regional drive-to ports, expanding its embarkation centers beyond Miami to places like New Orleans, Mobile, Jacksonville, Port Canaveral, Galveston, Norfolk, Charleston and New York. It has built a cruise port in Long Beach, California, to take advantage of sailings to the west coast of Mexico.

The company offers a vacation guarantee program that allows passengers unhappy with their cruise the chance to disembark at the first port and get a refund. They also provide senior discounts via AARP, as well as very successful weddings at sea and golf offerings.

You have big reasons. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Graduations. Job promotions. Things that make you feel like, well, celebrating.

And if it's a family vacation, keep in mind that Carnival has three supervised programs for your kids: Camp Carnival for youngsters 2-11, Circle "C" for kids 12-14 and Club O2 for teens 15-17. There are also connecting staterooms that are ideal for families. So, plan on a "Fun Ship" cruise where there's no such thing as a one-day celebration.
Celebrations : Family Reunions
Being with all the people you like is a celebration in itself. Which is why Carnival is the perfect choice for a reunion for any family, high school or college. It's a great setting for a retreat for your business, church or organization. It makes a wedding even more romantic. And for a girlfriends' getaway, it's inspired. With so many pools, dining choices, indoor/outdoor activities and exciting destinations, there's something for every guest of every age.
Celebrations : Romance
It's easy to see why so many couples choose a Carnival cruise. So many of our spacious staterooms have private balconies. Our reservations-only supper clubs are the perfect setting for a special occasion. The nights are filled with music, dancing, late-night shows and -- wow -- night skies filled with billions of stars.
