Carnival is a
British-American cruise line owned by Carnival Corporation PLC based in
both Miami, Florida and Southampton, England. The corporation owns 9 lines,
among them Carnival, Holland, Princess (of "The Love Boat" TV show fame) and
Cunard.
From the start, Carnival
provided cruises that were shorter and less expensive, thus taking cruising
from the privileged and making it more accessible to the middle class. Many people still look down on Carnival because they think it is a lower class line, even if they have never sailed it. Don't knock it until you have tried it.
5 Reasons to Consider Carnival Cruise Line

1. Entertainment: The shows are provided by Playlist Productions, showcasing Broadway quality musical revues. Stand-up comedy comes in two ratings, family and adult. Throughout the ship, musicians perform various genres. Be assured, this is still the party cruise line, with good DJs and the fun contests on the Lido deck. Be nice, don't forget to Groove for St. Jude (the children's hospital). It's one of the the only times you'll be allowed to use cash on the ship.
