Carnival Cruise Line

As I mentioned before, cruising is like "camp for adults," there is always something to do or see or eat when you are on a cruise. The Carnival Cruise Line is especially exciting and full of adventure. Carnival is known for their "Fun Ships" as they call them, and their famous quote is - "A million ways to have fun."


The Carnival line started in 1972 and is headquartered in Miami, FL. Today they have 23 operating ships, soon to be 25. Carnival is known as the more reasonable cruise line and the average age is between 20-35. Carnival is the largest cruise line in the world, based on passengers carried.



Features of Carnival cruise ships include fitness facilities, on board spas, casinos, and duty-free shops. Other features include:


  • The Signature Red, White, and Blue Funnel (located on the center of every ship)

  • A Water Slide into the main pool

  • 24-hour pizza & ice cream (also free!)

  • Sushi Bar

  • Camp Carnival (for the kiddies)


Activities include:



  • Daily contests such as hairy chest contest, belly flop, and other Survivor-type challenges

  • Demonstrations of towel folding (which you will find a different towel-shaped animal in your room every night), ice carving, etc...

  • Galley tours, expert talks, and port lectures

  • Gaming tournaments including poker, blackjack, bingo, slots, and trivia

  • Fitness classes such as aerobics, yoga, spinning, kick-boxing, etc...

  • Art auctions & wine tasting

  • Buffets all around, including my favorite, the mid-night deck party buffet

  • Nightly broadway style shows, comedians, and even late night "R" rated comedians (not for the kiddies)

...As you can tell, I can go on and on about all the activities on a Carnival Cruise. To learn more about the basics, please visit the Carnival website...
