Carnival is magazine reader’s choice
Carnival Cruise Lines has been named the number one cruise line in Southern Living Magazine’s 2008 Readers Choice Awards.
The annual awards are based on surveys available to the publication’s 15 million readers who are asked to designate their No. 1 choice in a variety of travel-related categories. Carnival was cited as the preferred cruise line more than any other cruise operator.
Carnival’s “Fun Ships” were recognized for providing excellent activities and entertainment options, an exceptional array of fine quality cuisine, and convenient Southern US 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.
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.
