Carnival Cruise Line’s new social media Internet packages – which offer access to a variety of popular Web sites for just $5 a day – are now available on more than half of the line’s ships with fleetwide implementation scheduled by the first quarter of 2016.
Additionally, the line’s new mobile app – currently available on Carnival Breeze and offering an innovative “chat” feature – has been very well received with a third of the ship’s guests actively using the app during their cruise. The app is expected to be available on five additional ships by the end of the year and be fleetwide by summer 2016.
“Fast, affordable and reliable social media channels and the Internet have become essential on today’s cruise ships,” said Gabriela Gonzalez, Carnival’s vice president of guest technology. “We have thoughtfully approached this area to ensure we are providing options that guests sailing throughout our fleet find truly valuable and reliable,” she added.
Currently available on 13 ships, Carnival’s enhanced Internet access offers dramatically increased bandwidth and speed while the cruise industry’s first social media package provides unlimited access to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other popular sites for just $5 per day with discounted plans available for the entire cruise.
Unlike other shipboard Internet packages, Carnival’s social media package is unique in that it allows guests a convenient, flexible and highly affordable option for updating their favorite social media channels during their cruise at one low price.
There’s also a “value” plan that includes unlimited access to the Web for checking email, sports scores, weather updates and a wide range of other applications, and a “premium” package that provides the fastest available connection speed and allows access to video calling sites like Skype.
The new Carnival HUB mobile app currently on Carnival Breeze provides guests with a convenient, at-a-glance view of the ship’s many facilities and features along with updates on events and happenings taking place on board, all available free of charge. Available for download at the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, the app also includes an innovative “chat” feature that allows guests to exchange messages with their traveling companions using their mobile devices for a flat fee of $5 for the entire cruise.
The app also includes day-by-day schedules of hundreds of on-board events, information on food and beverage venues, searchable deck plans, itinerary details, Sail & Sign account balance and more. Recently added options include the ability to pre-purchase the line’s Cheers! and Bottomless Bubbles beverage programs and upload photos to be displayed on Carnival Breeze’s 270-square-foot Seaside Theatre during the voyage. Additional features are scheduled to be added in the future.

Carnival Magic, one of Carnival's newest ships, will provide a truly magical experience for holiday makers of all ages.
Daytime fun is easy to come by at the Waterworks water park, the two on-deck pools or at Carnival's Seaside open-air theatre. Dining options also cater for every taste, from the formal elegance of Carnival Magic's dining rooms to the gourmet menus at the Steakhouse and the wide selection of meals available at the buffet.
With such a huge range of entertainments it should come as no surprise that there is an equally impressive selection of elegantly decorated staterooms with climate control and a flatscreen TV in each. As the most recently completed ship in Carnival's line Carnival Magic offers a choice of eight different cruises of seven, nine or 12 days around beautiful Mediterranean ports. With 15 exclusive resorts throughout the Caribbean, Sandals offer all–inclusive vacations that are as unique as your love for each other. We book it the one you go on the flying chair to the beach, the package include the to chairs, the canopy, and two mattresses for the water, no food or drinks are included, but for the price you paid was perfect, you can buy food at the beach from Red Frog bar at very reasonable prices, the beach small with parts that are very deep but you have fun as much as you want and liked, yes I recommended this excursion, very valuable for the price you paid. I can't comment on when to buy it, though I've always bought it on-board on the Lido deck prior to sailing. I forgot to mention, I've never done the cheapest package, only the deluxe, but I've found the wine to be quite good. We always buy the wine package from our head waiter at dinner the first night, this way they get gratuity.
If you do not finish the bottle they will re-cork and place it at your table for the next evening. We're also interested in buying the wine package once onboard, and I was thrilled to hear that re-corking is possible. Someone mentioned that you can also get a bottle from your package at any of the bars on board. Yes when you pay for your wine package you get 5 coupons so you can use them most anywhere. The sheer range of choices available at every level means that a cruise on Carnival Magic is both fun and flexible and sure to keep everyone entertained!
If different members of the family want some independence, Camp Carnival, Circle C and Club O2 provide a huge number of activities aimed at 2-11s, 12-14s and 15-17s so that parents can relax in the Cloud 9 Spa or the Serenity adults-only deck area.
The fun continues into the night for those keen to pay a visit to the Carnival Magic casino, nightclub, bars or live shows. Allow us to plan the entire trip, from transportation to accommodation, to best ancient sites and top destinations.
We offer affordable all inclusive vacation packages, cheap hotels, and last minute vacations to Mexico. This 5-star All Exclusive™ resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic gives you truly amazing vacation experience.
I don't drink expensive wines at home but I also don't drink boonesfarm or other sweet wines. We will guide you on your choice of hotels in Greece, Flights & Resorts, Travel Deals, Car Rentals, Greece Vacation Packages and Charters. Spoil yourself in luxurious services and activities around the clock at this hot, new resort just for adults. They only charged for the chair cover and beach lift but now you have to pay to go to the beach.
If you are able to just walk to the beach area and rent a float, I would probably do that next time as that would be cheaper. Is it also possible to have two bottles re-corked (I'm mainly thinking of a situation where we would drink a glass of white whine with a starter and a glass of red with the entree, leaving both bottles half full).
We stayed at the beach area the whole time so we only utilized the chair lift twice and that was to get to and from the ship. When you want a bottle you hand it to your server and tell them which of the wines (listed on the ticket) you want.
