“Today’s Carnival”
Carnival Cruise Lines continues to redefine contemporary cruising with
“Today’s Carnival”, a term coined to describe Carnival’s commitment to
enhancing all aspects of the “Fun Ship” vacation experience.
"From upgraded cuisine and new and expanded facilities to a greater variety
of onboard activities and shore excursions, a ‘Fun Ship’ cruise is
significantly different from just a few years ago,” said Bob Dickinson,
Carnival president and CEO. “‘Today’s Carnival’ reflects the lengths we will
go to keep our product fresh and exciting for our guests,” he added.
Dining is considered the highlight of any “Fun Ship” vacation and “Today’s
Carnival” has resulted in a diversity of new dining options and
enhancements. Carnival’s Total Choice Dining(SM) is the cruise industry’s
most comprehensive dining program offering the widest variety of formal and
casual options at sea. Try our new Georges Blanc Signature Selections which
includes a wide variety of gourmet appetizers, entrees and desserts to be
served in Carnival's main dining rooms and Lido restaurants, as well as the
reservations-only supper clubs featured on select “Fun Ships.”
In addition to revamped lunch and dinner menus and expanded wine lists,
Carnival ships feature such innovations as 24-hour pizzerias and the
“Seaview Bistro” alternative dinner-time service. Carnival’s popular
Lido-area eateries, which offer full breakfast and lunch buffets, now
include meat-carving and pasta stations, expansive salad and dessert bars
and, on some ships, New York-style delis and Asian and Italian specialty
venues. The line’s 24-hour room service menu has also been expanded to
include an even greater variety of freshly made items delivered to guests’
cabins any time of the day or night.
Patisseries offering coffees and sweets, specialty seafood stations, and
sushi bars featuring are now available on a number of ships, as well.
Carnival’s legendary midnight buffets have also been updated to reflect
consumers’ changing palates, incorporating lighter fare to complement the
diversity of hot and cold items available each night.
Another feature of “Today’s Carnival” is in-cabin amenities baskets, which
are available on all 22“Fun Ships” and offer a wide variety of brand-name
products for men and women. The Carnival Comfort Bed sleep system is just
one of the many upgrades we've incorporated fleet wide, now you can enjoy a
great night's sleep every night of your cruise. Additionally, plush
terrycloth bathrobes are available upon request in all staterooms to use for
the length of your cruise.
Entertainment options have also become more varied, with dazzling revues
featuring high-tech video projections, lasers, pyrotechnics, and elaborate
sets and costumes presented in multi-decked show lounges, some of which can
accommodate up to 1,500 guests.
Responding to the needs of today's health-conscious consumers, Carnival
continues to update the impressive array of exercise equipment and pampering
treatments available within its fleetwide "Spa Carnival" which, comprise
some of the largest floating health clubs in the world.
Shore excursions have also been expanded to keep pace with today’s active
lifestyles, with adventure-type tours such as kayaking, scuba diving and
sight seeing complementing more traditional activities as nature walks and
city tours.
With the dramatic increase in family cruising – a record 500,000 kids are
expected to sail on the “Fun Ships” in 2006– Carnival continues to expand
the myriad activities, amenities and facilities of “Camp Carnival”, the
industry’s top-rated children’s program. Recent enhancements include
high-tech play areas featuring computer labs and indoor climbing mazes, as
well as updated kids’ menus and a new turn-down service providing children
with freshly baked cookies on the first and last night of their voyage.
Carnival's Club O2 is perfect for older teens with parties, hip music, great
movies, video games (PS2 and Xbox), teen shore excursions, teens-only
lounges and other great ways to hang out.
Carnival is the largest and most popular cruise line in the world, with 22
“Fun Ships” operating voyages of three to 16 days in length to the Bahamas,
Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, New England, Canada,
Bermuda and Europe.
