Carnival Cruise Vacations
The name Carnival is famous in cruising circles for good
reason. The company has transformed cruising from the realm of
a luxury reserved for the well-to-do to a "Fun Ships" available
to just about anyone.
Carnival pioneered the idea that shorter cruises could be
profitable. At the same time, they have designed many shorter
cruises that allow not only a reduced price, but the ability of
busy people to take a short vacation on ship. Stressed
corporate workers can now hop off to Mexico on a ship the way
they might have hopped onto a plane to Vegas 20 years ago.
Along with that convenience factor has come many more
entertainment options on board. Many ships in Carnivals
ever-growing fleet now resemble Las Vegas hotels. Some resemble
Las Vegas itself, they've grown so large. That has brought
dozens of new forms of enjoyment for cruisers.
And, they offer a lot for children (and their parents) to
enjoy: their ever popular "Camp Carnival," which is a
children's play area; waterslides which open into the swimming
pool; and counselors aboard who take care of children of all
age groups.
Gambling and musical entertainment has long been part of
some cruises. But Carnival has raised it to the same heights
seen in Las Vegas by offering shows that look as if they might
have just stepped right off the Strip and onto the deck.
And the company continues to expand its shipping fleet and
the number and type of voyages. The latest, the Carnival
Liberty, is their first to be based in Europe. From there it
can sail to the South of France or the Greek Isles and many
places in between. Even larger ships are about to debut. The
Carnival Splendor will house up to 3,000 passengers, a
population larger than many small towns in America.
They recently began a series of 4- and 5-day voyages from
San Diego to Cabo and Ensenada in Mexico. These trips aboard
the Elation are selling reservations like MP3 downloads – hot,
hot, hot. Travelers can take a week's vacation in the sun, or
just escape for a long weekend.
They also have 15-day voyages all the way to the Panama
Canal. You can see one of the most important construction
projects in the world and have plenty of time to unwind, enjoy
the sea air and sun. You can also take advantage of the amazing
variety of things to do on board. The ship has three elegant
restaurants, three swimming pools, a gym, a large theater, and
dozen other attractions.
Carnival purchased the famed Cunard Line (owner of the Queen
Mary) several years ago. As a result, no matter what kind of
voyage you're interested in, they'll have something to
interest you. Prices vary widely and trips can be tailored to
just about any budget.
