Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line, established in 1972 by Ted Arison and based in Doral, Florida, is the world's largest cruise operator by passengers, as a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc. With a fleet of 29 ships (expanding to 34 by 2033), it offers affordable, high-energy sea voyages worldwide, featuring classes like Fantasy (casual fun), Dream (family-focused), and Excel (premium with innovations). Amenities include water parks, live entertainment, diverse dining, and unique attractions like the first at-sea roller coaster on Mardi Gras ships.

Emphasizing value, it provides themed nights, kids' clubs, and LNG-powered vessels for eco-friendlier travel, making it perfect for budget-conscious groups seeking non-stop excitement and variety without pretension.
