Information on Carnival Cruises by Jez Rourke

Carnival is considered to be the worlds most popular cruise line because they offer variety and excellent value for money. Carnival cruises can by booked over the telephone, online, through a travel agent or you can ask for a personal vacation planner to contact you.

Carnival’s fun ships sail to over sixty destinations in Europe, South America, the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Transatlantic, Canada/New England, Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska and their shore excursions are planned so that you really enjoy every port of call. There are always specials, early savers and price protection to help passengers get the lowest rate possible.

Acquiring a Carnival Sea Miles card allows you to earn vacations at quality resorts, air travel, a free cruise on Carnival or one of the other cruise lines.

Carnival Cruises also offer a variety of wedding packages, complete with a wedding planner who will gladly take care of every little detail. There is the option for a private ceremony or a rather larger affair with over a hundred guests.

A destination-wedding package to Barbados, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Key West, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios or St Thomas includes transportation to the wedding destination, a traditional ceremony with a selection of sparkling wine and champagne, as well as a traditional wedding cake and photography service.

When you sail with Carnival you are assigned a stateroom steward who will be at your service for the whole journey and a cruise director and his staff provide a variety of things for you to do from morning till night. There is a cruise ship newspaper delivered each evening before your retire, which includes the program for the next days activities.

Fun shops offer an excellent selection of duty frees including designer watches, top fragrances, souvenirs, jewellery, alcohol and tobacco. Carnival also has a recommended shopping program that allows you to save up to sixty percent on goods at ports of call.

All Carnival ships offer a golf academy at sea program, which is suitable for all ages and levels of skill. There is a fun ship casino where you can play the slot machine games, Wheel of Fortune, black jack, Caribbean stud poker and Mega Cash and there are even casino lessons at the start of each cruise. Bingo is also available.

Baby sitting is available between the hours of 10pm and 3am and throughout the day Camp Carnival offers three children’s activity programs run by specially trained camp counsellors. These are for toddlers and juniors with the aim of entertaining groups of two to nine year olds. Circle C is a program for the twelve to fourteen year olds and Club O2 is a teen program for those aged fifteen to seventeen.

Medical services are available onboard and there are various dining options.
