Overview of Carnival Cruise Line

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be on a floating resort? Carnival Cruise Lines are built for just one thing: fun. Dedicated from the beginning to ensuring that you have the time of your life from the minute you board your Carnival cruise, after forty years they have expanded their "fun fleet" to 22 different ships! The "fun ship" experience is their specialty, and each ship is tailored to a different taste with one common theme: ensuring that every person on board has the time of their life! Millions of people have returned home smiling after their Carnival cruise.

Luxury Dining on a Carnival Cruise

Providing a culinary experience like no other, Carnival ships serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Catered to your tastes, there are many different cuisines that are all prepared to order - and they can even be delivered to your stateroom! For the casual diner, Carnival cruise has a breakfast buffet, a European style café with a view of the ocean, and 24-hour room service with its own menu. The variety available on the menu speaks for itself - order the most exquisite meal you can think of, or your favorite comfort food, and you can either find it in one of their on-board restaurants or on the room service menu. For the more elegant diner, they offer dinner options in their restaurants that will make your mouth water. There are even "supper clubs" at the Carnival cruise liners- reservations are recommended, but the Manhattan-style settings and wine lists make the supper club worth the effort, because your taste buds will be amazed by the meals the chefs prepare for you!

Carnival Cruises: Activities and Entertainment

Before you dine, you should work up an appetite by exploring the ship. Each ship has its own library, so you can relax and read a book by one of the three pools onboard, or at your leisure in your room. On Carnival cruises you can explore the duty-free shops, or enjoy a drink at the bar - it's your choice! There are even Vegas-style casinos that are open night and day, so your options are endless! If you want to pass the time outside on the decks, prepare yourself for an amazing time! The pools have waterslides, there are basketball courts, 9-hole golf courses, live music and even a poolside movie screen! With plenty of lounge chairs available, you can just kick back, relax, and enjoy the sun. For the health-conscious guest, the Carnival cruise ships also come with fitness centers (all of which feature a panoramic ocean view) as well as a spa and on-board jogging tracks.

Carnival Cruises and Kids

A Carnival cruise will even have special programs for the kids - catered to different age groups, they offer organized activities so that mom and dad can relax and enjoy their cruise while the kids are off having the time of their lives!

Amenities on the Carnival Cruise Ships

Carnival knows that your comfort is a huge part of your experience. So, each spacious stateroom is lavishly decorated with soft carpeting, mood lighting, and individual climate control. Even the beds are tailored to be as comfortable as possible, with high-thread cotton sheets - and you get a terry cloth robe.

    The best thing for me when I stepped aboard the carnival breeze was finding out that they had maintained the Carnival tradition of the adults-only Serenity area. I had previously enjoyed it on the ...
