From humble beginnings when its first ship ran aground on its maiden voyage out of Miami to becoming the world’s largest cruise line, Carnival Cruise Lines truly celebrates the fun of cruising. Its trademark tagline, in fact, is “The Fun Ships,” and that’s just what Carnival delivers.
Just about the most recognizable name in the biz, Carnival and its “fun ships” have been around for almost four decades and offer a casual, super-mainstream kind of experience at a great price.
Today, Carnival has more than 20 ships in its fleet and more on the way, and devotes more of those ships to the Caribbean and the Bahamas on 3- to 7-night cruises than anybody else — though it also sails to Alaska, Europe, New England and Canada, Mexico, the Panama Canal, Hawaii, and Bermuda.
