Carnival has become world renowned for creating shorter cruises that people of all ages can enjoy at an affordable price. They cater to families and a younger audience but also offer plenty of amenities for those in their golden years.

Carnival is often called “America’s Cruise Line” since they offer cruises from more homeports in the U.S. than any other cruise line.

“The Fun Ships” is what Carnival calls their fleet of vessels that carry fun-loving passengers all over the world. These ships also carry with them the award-winning youth program called Camp Ocean, which has been a huge success. If the kids are happy on the cruise ship, it makes for a better experience for everyone, right?
