Carnival Named ‘Best Cruise Line’

Carnival Cruises has earned the title of “Best Cruise Line” according to Southern Living Magazine’s 2008 Readers Choice Awards. 15 million of the magazine’s readers are eligible to vote for their favorite cruise line and Carnival one the coveted title of best.

Carnival’s “Fun Ships” were recognized for providing excellent activities and entertainment options, an exceptional array of fine quality cuisine, and convenient Southern U.S. departure points, with 17 ships departing from eight ports throughout Florida, Alabama, Texas and
Louisiana. “The convenience is a real winner and a great reason to keep going back again for more of what their ships have to offer,” said Wanda McKinney, Southern Living’s associate travel editor.

“We take a great deal of pride in providing our guests with wonderful vacation memories and have made a tremendous investment in continually updating and enhancing the ‘Fun Ship’ vacation experience. To have these efforts acknowledged by the discerning readers of Southern Living is extremely gratifying,” said Vicki Freed, Carnival’s senior vice president
of sales and guest services.

Over the past five years alone, Carnival launched five new 110,000-ton “Fun Ships” — the largest in its fleet — and rolled out the $250 million “Evolutions of Fun” shipboard refurbishment program that includes extensive renovations for its eight Fantasy-class ships. New amenities for these vessels include the Carnival WaterWorks aqua parks, Serenity adults-only
areas and totally redesigned main pool areas.

Carnival is currently the largest cruise line company in the world. For more information: Carnival Cruise Lines.
