If you’re considering a cruise, whether it’s to Alaska, the Caribbean or anywhere in between, sail on a Carnival cruise line. Carnival cruise lines know how to entertain, and work hard to provide activities and services that will keep young, old and in between happy while sailing.
A Carnival cruise ship is literally a floating resort with plush accommodations, first class restaurants, spas, and shopping experiences. Carnival cruise ‘Fun ships’ sail from many ports to over 60 destinations, including Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada and New England, even to Europe. For those wanting to see Alaska, Carnival cruise lines sail to Glacier Bay and both Northbound and Southbound Alaska. For those wishing to hobnob with old tales of pirates and treasure in the blue Caribbean, ports in the Eastern, Southern and Western Caribbean are ripe for the plucking. Carnival cruise trips to Mexico sail to Baja and the Mexican Riviera and the Bermuda leg offers a Cruise to Nowhere, if you’re daring enough.
Carnival cruise lines offer both standard and luxury appointments, providing a first class sailing experience for budget travelers or those with bottomless pockets. The finest in dining, entertainment and travel ports of call are the best that a cruise line has to offer, and Carnival cruise vacations have one of the highest user ratings of major cruise lines. Carnival cruise lines don’t just offer great destinations however, but moderately priced cabins for singles or families. Don’t even think about having to sleep on an uncomfortable bunk or berth either, because Carnival cruise lines have installed ‘Carnival Comfort Bed’ sleep systems in all the ships in their globe-trotting fleet. The younger crowd is kept entertained with the new Carnival cruise ‘Club 02′, designed specifically for travelers between the ages of 15 and 17. It’s the new ‘hot spot’ on the ship for those who don’t want to hang out with the parents but want to make friends, dance to the latest music and play video games. The club is staffed with fun and energetic employees who know what your kids want and how to offer it to them.
Want to bring your golf clubs along? Carnival cruise lines offer a V1 Digital Coaching System that will help cure any ailment to your golf swing from the convenience of the ship deck so that you’ll be ready to play once you hit the ports. No matter what you like to do, Carnival cruise personnel will try to provide it for you. Day and night time entertainment keeps passengers enthralled and happy between ports of call, with dancing, singing, and other venues geared for all age groups and tastes.
A Carnival cruise adventure offers events and event planning help if you have special needs or larger groups of people in your traveling party. Online, Carnival cruise lines offer tips, suggestions, and messages posted from other Carnival cruise adventures. The Carnival cruise line’s official website is easy to navigate and offers answers to just abut any question that could possibly be asked about the Carnival cruise vacation experience.

Can Someone Offer Some Advice About Getting Best Deals on a Cruise Ship vacation?
Hi. I am interested in finding out what the best deals are to take a 3-4 day Carnival Cruise from Long Beach, CA to Mexico. I went online to do research and it is overwhelming on how or where to find the best rates, perks, upgrades, discounts, time to travel.
So if someone out here is an experienced cruise ship traveler and knows how to get the best deals, could you please offer advice/links? Thanks for your help

I’ve been on 3 cruises and have booked them all thru vacationstogo.com they have good prices and you should at least check them out for comparison

I use "Vacations to go" as my cruise information center. They have almost tooo much info and great last minute offers for all the major cruise lines and all the destinations including nice cheap reposition cruises that have become much more popular in the past few years. The website is vtgmail@list.vacationstogo.com and I would recommend Laura at ext 7290 if you call their 800 number!!
Look beyond Carnival unless you have 10 kids in tow.. Also, I hear thru the grapevine that one of the large cruise lines has fallen on their sword recently given published reports over denied boarding to a very pregnant lady and her family, a policy that the line changed after the family had purchased their tickets. Allegedly, so the story goes, the cruise line did not notify them of the change in their rules and denied their boarding on the day of departure. Last TV report was that this line has refused to provide either a refund or allow the family to rebook for another date!! Nothing like some great publicity on how family friendly a cruise line is if this story is true when they are trying to fill their boats in a tight economy. So, make sure you know all the policies before you book.
Enjoy….

i noticed that cruises are cheaper at beginning or end of a cruise season. example is if the ship is on its way to alaska, the cheapest cruise fare would be at the beginning or at the end of that certain cruise ship’s season for alaska. and of course, last minute cruise booking are always way cheaper, so it’s best to subscribe for a vacations to go alert.

Go to a travel agent and let them find a cruise that suits your requirements. You might even get a good deal, but they do all the work, finding the cruise.
Once you have your dates and a price, it is then a simple matter of looking on-line and seeing if you can find a better price.
If you can’t find a better price, go back to the TA.
